Here goes...

These could connect onto the Middle/Far East as well as Asia Pacific and OZ/NZ

EDI-DXB // Emirates
EDI-DOH // Qatar
EDI-AUH // Etihad

-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------

EDI-MCO // Virgin (as per the GLA Schedule) - Holiday traffic
EDI-ORD // American / United - Business and connecting traffic
EDI-ATL // Delta - Business and connecting traffic
EDI-DFW // American - Business and connecting traffic
EDI-BOS // American / US Airways - Business and connecting traffic

-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------

Investment by BAA EDI would be required, something that probably wont be forthcomming in the next few years... Additional airbridges need to be put in place now! However BAA EDI are investing as we speak - in more retail space 'airside'. About to extend the dep lounge outwards to make space for more shops... Great guys, just what the airport needs....

Svq - Lhr

Seville Heathrow, nobody connects the Andalusian capital with heathrow. Surely must be profitable?! connecting through Madrid is a pain.

Is restoring the daily IB MAD - MAN service too much to ask ? Or does a certain other carrier wield a bit of influence here ?

Appriciation to those who have suppourted me by saying it dosnt matter about your age etc. I just have one thing to say. I aint going to lower my standards and start insulting these old men because at the end of the day they are not worth it. That is there view that all 15 year old dont know nothing let them stick to it i aint bothered. Let me tell them though that us 15YR olds are alot more educated then they think.
Got to be a troll.

Regarding the Humberside flights, I think that Humberside do need those destinations, but I dont think that Jet2 would consider them because its so close to Manchester and Leeds...

Maybe bmibaby or Easyjet

Why would it? You have BHX just up the road, with baby and KLM to AMS, and EI/FR to DUB.

Have a look at Rigas Doganis' books on Amazon - the stuff about cannibalisation may be useful to you.

Would would imagine that it wont be long before EZY start up MAN-MAD. Or am i wrong?

What about Click Air starting a MAN-BCN service?

Glasgow

GLA-BOS, Flyglobespan(if they got their act together, daily is sustainable)
GLA-ORD, AA, UA, GSM
GLA-FRA, This could do well with connecting traffic through Frankfurt for Luthansa.
GLA-CPT, only 2 or 3 weekly, possibly seasonal as well, but i reckon it can be a popular route.
GLA-DTW, Northwest connecting traffic throughout the US could easily sustain this route, even if only 3 or 4 times a week.
GLA-HKG, Cathay Pacific, this is more what I would like than anything else, but would be great if it ever happened.

Now that Stelios has got a foothold in Manchester, an EZY service to Madrid is not beyond the realms of possibilty although Easyjet may be concerned about its impact on its Liverpool - Madrid operation.
The beauty of a restored Iberia service from MAN would be that - given the right timings - the north of England would have a link to Latin America which would only be bettered by a direct service or an AA link via Miami - neither of which are likely to happen.

BTW - and I'm being diplomatic here - some of the proposals being put forward on this thread are just a little over-optimistic given the challenging period we are going through at the moment !

Going back a few Comments :

Yes bmibaby and Easyjet are both at MAN, however, they arent as big as Jet 2 at MAN, and are more sustainable airlines with the current issues like fuel for future months
