Almost right, 96er, the hangar was originally opened as Qualitair in 1989 but not long after the name changed as you say, to FFV Aerotech. I think it was a merger or re-branding thing.

British Airways are reducing the MAN-LHR service for Summer 2019 from 8 to 6 per weekday, and just 4 or 5 at weekends. This must be the lowest frequency since the 1970s. BA will now have fewer daily...

I think you mean the airline-contracted ground handlers inability to de-ice any aircraft. The airport itself usually does rather well at de-icing the runways etc.

Declared departure capacity of T1 is 3000 per hour and it's hitting that in first wave. T3 @ 1500 ph likewise. T2 is, I think, 2500 ph and has less demand since the Monarch collapse.
