Sky Europe @ Manchester (Impounded)???
 

I am told Sky Europe OMNGD is parked on the West Apron at Manchester with an airport vehicle parked behind it.

Surely not a second airline gone in a day??? Does anyone know any information?

***Second NE aircraft just arrived next to the first and also had a vehicle parked at the rear of the aircraft***

Surely there are other explanations than that?! :confused:

Didn't O'Leary predict SkyEuropes imminent demise recently?

Any more news? Yes - it is financial problems!

It's financial problems! (FACT) Oh dear dear dear.

Where did you hear that? Anything more specific?

according MAN live flight info the NE191 and 197 both departed on time. Can anyone confirm that the flights has been released?

It's a fact that it's financial - trust me. Not rumour or my Mother's Cousin's budgie. Otherwise no more news. This is not the first airport. Flights not released (yet!)

WTF is going on?
 

Am I the only one who is amazed at Manchester's quick reactions to (allegedly) impound aircraft when they are unable to get most escalators, walkways and lifts working for months on end?

I can't wait till the Tattoo and Piercing Shop opens in T1 Departures...

Cannot understand the need for an airport vehicle behind the aircraft to "block" it in on a push-back stand. Last time I looked - didn't really think it was practical to reverse a 737 on reverse thrust! :bored:

Tradition.

Used to be chain a snowplough or the like to the nose gear.

NE197 now due out 1705.

Visa or Mastercard?

I'll stick 20 on it.
Next Airline To Go Bust? Betting

One aircraft now departed, other one will not be too far behind. Perhaps the airport were collecting in outstanding fees. Can imagine they are a bit jumpy at the moment on that score.

OM-NGP ESK4LA just departed

Paddy Power have just suspended betting on SkyEurope after the price fell from 9-1 to 6-1.

ETA: Now reinstated but down to 4-1.

ETA2: Now 5-2. Plenty of PPRuners with PP accounts?

Too many ppruners betting at once! :ugh:

Cash at the end of June was about 2 million squid... :bored:

How come one plane was allowed to leave and not the other? Any ideas?

Skipper flashed a visa card?
