I know what I see. Some of the observation on this thread though.... Utter bowlarks! |
Or just the realistic appraisal of somebody with the first hand experience of working there?
|
There's afew on here with that.

Anyone know why the Emirates A380s aren't using contact stands today? I can only imagine the nightmare it is bussing 600+ people over to the remote stands?

More than 2,000 workers are to receive a pay rise of up to 17% over two years after a deal was agreed between a union and an airport's operators. Staff working in security, operations, firefighting, traffic and car parking at Manchester Airport will also receive a lump sum worth up to 9.6% and pension benefits, the Unite union said. |

Whilst I myself have never worked at an airport I am aware that at least one of the other forum posters has worked at Manchester and not, before you say it, as a cleaner. I believe he held quite a high position at the airport.
|
Several of the regular contributors to this forum have (or still do) hold positions at MAN in a variety of roles.
|
And a few have had face to face discussions with former senior management, so maybe have a glimmer of how an airport works.

can only assume there’s an issue with gate 12 which is the only A380 compatible contact gate.

Well, I don't know then. All I will say is there were Easyjet 320s using those stands yesterday while the EK was on remote.
|
People have been asking the same question on several forums and the same answer is work on airbridge making it unuseable for the day or so
|
The easy’s use steps on stand 12. Disembarking an A380 on 12 with steps is very difficult. The work was on the airbridges.
As EK funded the stand when they introduced the 380 to DXB-MAN, they do get priority there. |
Air Canada service suffering technical problems yet again.
Would they offer this level of appaling service out of Heathrow? No. |

They often do bagso, they're stuffed for crews apparently. In the case of MAN-YYZ, they covered the route with a leased OMNI B767 which has now gone tech, they don't have the crews to offer service themselves this year. 2 more A330s just came on board alongside a new B787-9 with one more to come. Hopefully next year will be better.
Most passengers booking their trip to YYZ//return probably don't realise when they hand over the payment for their fare that will be travelling on an ageing aircraft normally used to carry military personnel ! |
I thought the Omni 767 was only for the first 6 weeks this summer.
|
A long time ago, far far away,, Air Canada planned a daily 787 for this summer 😂
