Privatair at MAN

[AlphaWhiskyRomeo]

What's the deal with the Privatair Airbus that seems to hang around MAN most weekend before heading off back to Hawarden early on Monday mornings?

I've guessed that it is used for Airbus to transport staff between sites during the week, but why does it come to MAN most weekends?

Cheers.

Not 100% sure, but I think that they sometimes pick up charter work for the 319s at the weekend, but as I guess that either Hawarden or Airbus is closed on the Sat/Sun then they need to have the aircraft somewhere that is open. Hence the hop to MAN on a Friday night/Monday morning.
