Monarch by any chance, 757???

I hope not!!!!:{ :mad: :eek:

OLT express starts around october, as Bristol is getting it to, a 0235 departure time!!! :ugh:

Someone correct me if im wrong though please!

just found this:

Flight Schedule OLT Express from/to LGW

Looks like it is starting on the 29th October with very civilised departure times!

Now, Why can't bristol have that?!

Rumour has it MON are on their way to Servisair from 1st Sep at MAN...

750XL Where is the source of this rumour?????

I will believe it when i see it. Untill then im taking it with a pinch of salt!

That's the rumour flying around the airport at the moment, but as I said, it's a rumour :ok:

Ah right same as me then. I hope it doesnt happen

Menzies handling bmi out of T1 and with BA now absorbing all the BD flights out of T1 I guess things are staying as they are for the time being.

Anymore information on Menzies buying Airbase Flight Support at MAN?

SN Brussels Airlines moving to Flight Support at MAN.

Air Blue will probably move to Swissport in the near future and I'm hearing rumours of Menzies pulling out of MAN :hmm:

Any news on BA at LGW? Swissport? Menzies? Servisair?

750XL,

I doubt very much Menzies would be pulling out of MAN after gaining the BA contract..

As far as I know the BA contract was signed as a nationwide contract rather than station specific, so Menzies @ MAN inherited BA that way. Simply gaining a new contract doesn't mean they're running at a profit :ok:

Quite true 750,

I take it Menzies do not have much business at MAN?

Off the top of my head Menzies handle...

Easyjet, Jet2 (below wing), TAP, Iberia, BA, Icelandair, Aer Arran, AA (below wing), Aurigny, Germanwings and maybe a few others. However, it's well known that Menzies undercut the other handling agents at MAN (and possibly other stations) by a huge percentage so whether they are running at a profit or not is anyones guess

Given how little that contract is working to plan so far id imagine that they wont be making anywhere near the money they thought they would.

Impression I got from them was they thought they could implement the easyjet model onto the BA product, which was never going to happen.

And the amount they undercut servisair by was a huge amount. No idea how they can be making any money on it.

No doubt they undercut Servisair, but by how much is unlikely to be in the public domain. Also, as I'm led to believe, there were other reasons as to why the contract did not remain at Servisair.

Swissport to get the BA contract at LGW in October.
