Terminal 3
so inter organisation management liaison at Manchester Airport has been put in the ‘too difficult box’ then. Bit like Northern Rail and Network Rail then. Buck passing and it’s always the other organisation’s fault. No responsibility then for anyone. |
Dropped someone off at T1 this morning. Judging by the work at the free Drop Off area it looks like a Pay to Drop Off will soon be in force. Suppose they’ve got to get the money from somewhere. |

I'm sure Bdaily is actually ran from Birmingham even tbough it has regional titles.
Maybe a none to subtle hidden agenda.? But maybe they are choosing the wrong target for their ire. As the Birmingham Mail stated, Graylng admitted it could be curtains for them in terms of trying to compete on a level playing field given LHRs competitive edge. If I were a Brummie I would be apoplectic at some of my local Mps who support rw3. |
TUI to open a new route to Southern Italy next May, Lamezia Terme. TOM2684 MAN 0600 SUF 1015 TOM2685 SUF 1115 MAN 1340. Saturdays B737-800. nice to see some more ‘out of the box’ airports added. |
This route was done in Summer 2006 by Thomson. |

The bad delays usually seem to happen when there are a number of late arriving flights pulling up in short order. The UKBF staffing seems to be done based on schedule and it doesn't look like there is a large amount of flexibility built in. If an airline is constantly have the same flights arrive late, then that is its issue. If MAN is putting holds on the inbounds that make things late, then it is MAN's issue. However, it is also MAN's responsibility to make sure that the infrastructure can handle the predicted flows, which for T3 seems to be a problem at times.
what MAN most needs is less segregation! |
Lamezia Terme

I don’t know how reliable this article is, or who the carrier could be (surely not just Jet Airways on all 3 routes?), but towards the bottom it states ‘flights to Bengaluru and Delhi to be announced soon’. Seems the floodgates have been opened. https://inc42.com/features/is-manche...-looking-west/ |
Heard anything on Korean sniffing about LAX ?? Picked up tit bits, but nothing concrete.
Are we nearing saturation point now for long haul ex MAN ? Bangkok maybe about to happen, possibly more to India, both need crossing off the wish list, but where is sensibly left after that ? Seoul / Tokyo / another China route or two maybe / South Africa ? New Zealand a long shot maybe...but is that our lot ?? Can't see South America being viable from MAN. VS and MT have the states pretty much sewn up and are growing. The upcoming Ethiopian is great option for Africa with its extensive network. So I struggle to see where MAN can continue with its long haul expansion... Where would you say gaps remain beyond anything listed above that is already flying, about to launch or on my possible list ? An impressive position to be in by the way :ok: |
Sri Lanka Resumption of Cairo Nigeria Kenya Jordan Lebanon Qantas return with Dreamliner perhaps they do say Manchester is pretty profitable via the sandpit ! Malaysia Year round Air Canada with a max Iran Bangladesh Halifax or St John with Westjet Additional China routes for sure Less likely imho Japan Korea Taiwan anywhere in South America any of the ex soviet stans Vietnam Indonesia |

Heathrow can have its 3rd runway, its good for London and the South but not needed by the North, we've already got most places covered in one or two hops. |

As we know, TK start 3 weekly A330’s on IST this month. On top of that, there are lots of ad-hoc A330’s on other flights, making 2 daily A330 on plenty of days. One key date though, 29th August. TK will send 2 B77W, which judging by fares are almost fully booked as it is. There is abnother B77W on 8th August. Seems the route is doing very well at the moment. Surely a 3rd daily is up for consideration again? |

For selfish reasons Amman would be great. For non-selfish reasons Royal Jordanian could make sense for a One-World option to much of Saudi Arabia and the GCC now that Qatar is persona non gratis in much of the region. Amman is decent little airport and Jordan a terrific country. Very pleasant place to transfer.
And completely anecdotally but the last few times I went to Amman from Manchester (TK and BA) there were a lot from the Manchester flight on the Amman flight from both LHR and IST. Sri Lanka is certainly a popular holiday spot, as others have said so is Vietnam. TUI or Thomas Cook could well be in with a shout there. Lebanon I wouldn't expect soon with the growing instability there. Bangladesh has been rumoured before with BBC about to get some Dreamliners. Iran is, IMO, very unlikely with sanctions likely to resume soon. Kenya, again selfishly, would be absolutely perfect. I would think another China route is in the pipeline. I've heard Cairo is coming back in various places. Nigeria - who would operate? Virgin? I would think they would shoot for Johannesburg or Delhi before they went for Lagos. |
Qantas brings back memories of a quick £10 1 hour flip in the 747 on 24th March 1985. Guess who was first on the flight deck!
