Manchester: Ethiopian Airlines News & Flight Discussion

Swiss tend to subby some of their SA flights to Edelwiess. I looked at them for Cape Town trips but they look a bit charterish..I`d go with TK

Welcome to Manchester ...

Was there some kind of additional event for this? Was watching Flightradar earlier and noticed an Ethiopian Dreamliner take off from Manchester, fly to the north sea, circle for a while, then head back to Manchester.

It was a PR flight with journalists and bloggers giving a tour of the aircraft and lunch onboard by the looks of it.

Hi all F4A members.

Todays first flight had the following pax figures. Inbound 58, presumably a lot got off in Brussels. Outbound from Manchester had 220 pax on board pretty damm good I'd say for a first flght and bodes well for the future prospects of the service.

On a down note the outbound from Man went out one hour and 50 mins late. I'am not aware of the reason.

Cheers from Seargant Bilko.

Do we know the pax split between MAN and BRUSSELS ?

 

[Silvercity]

I'm booked on them in June...with onward transfer from Addis , looking forward to trying them out.

Out of curiosity, I wanted to see what the the 6.45 arrival into ADD brings to the table. What I've done is ignore domestic links, allowed 90 minutes transfer time and ignored any multiple frequencies to a city

Quite a decent selection with what I would call the bigger draw cities having depatures inside 2 and a half hours after arrival.
