None that I know of. The only BA ops into Manchester are the LHR and LGW shuttle flights. All the rest are operated by BA CitiExpress on BAe 146 and ERJ145. They also operate the single 767 flight to JFK (though I imagine this is crewed by LGW-based 767 pilots).

Just nit-picking really, but I think we need a clarification to the definition of 'based'
Do we mean,
1. That they have their operation managed from MAN - I would guess that Air Scandic and My Travel are examples of this
or
2. Whether it's more a case that they have aircraft and crew based there - Astraeus being an example of this, but that their HO is in Crawley.
In the case of point 2, then there are other airlines that can be added - e.g. Britannia,, bmi, Monarch etc., all have aircraft 'based' at MAN, but the HO and operations centre is elsewhere

JS7,
Just "Pit Nicking"
but the Only "Airline" Based at MAN [AFAIK...] is NEA 
The a/c are there, the HQ is there [and have been for 25plus years]
As for the "Big Boys", yup, their HQ/HOs are "elsewhere"
we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy

British Airways Citi-Express also operate Dash 8-300 and ATP aircraft out of MAN on domestic routes. I'm fairly sure that they are MAN based, unless anyone can correct me? ERJ145's and 146's/Avro's operate the European routes ex MAN, the Avro's being ex-Cityflyer. Half are at Birmingham as well.
All the Jetstreams are long gone, although there is a J41/J31 service to Billund, operated by a Scandinavian based/registered aircraft under BA franchise with Sun Air.

L24R-You are correct sir.BACX (which is effectively British Airways as far as the pax are concerned) is based at Manchester.They moved from the Isle of Man into Olympic House earlier this year.Aircraft inventory also although it looks like the Dash 8s and ATPs won't be with us for much longer.
