    Route Development & Rumours

    The conversation is largely theoretical, of course Thai will launch MAN before BHX. It was due for summer 2024 but may be next year.

    BHX is also well served with one stop options to BKK? Qatar, Emirates, Air India among others?

    Route Development & Rumours

    Of course, Singapore are a vastly superior airline to Biman. Nobody has said that but you are in no position to make a judgment if you’ve never used them. It reeks of prejudice, I feel. This is an absurd remark that writes its own response really. Where are your figures to back this up? I have...

    TUI Airways

    New TUI routes come few and far between these days, but good news of Oslo to be served weekly from December:

    Route Development & Rumours

    @TM3 What's so wrong with Biman? I used them a couple of years ago to Bangkok, they were perfectly fine. To play devil's advocate, if you want to fly SQ to the US so much, why don't you fly from MAN? Just because one airport has a service, doesn't mean the other is entitled to it. The argument...

    Route Development & Rumours

    In case you missed it, these are the reasons SQ is not doing BHX-USA any time soon.. And, as for this: This is absurd. The DAC-XXX-USA flights would be what they are; Bangladeshi diaspora / Bangladesh-domiciled pax. And no, it doesnt make good business sense as I have pointed out

    Route Development & Rumours

    SIN-BHX-USA just isn’t going to happen, sorry. And, if it did, wouldn’t that dilute their existing operations from LHR, MAN, LGW, the same as BA and Virgin would? The only carrier that is realistically going to do XXX-BHX-USA is Biman Bangladesh, and even then, they don’t like the UK...

    Route Development & Rumours

    The suggestion of SIN-BHX-JFK, imho, is redundant for a multitude of reasons Daily SIN-EWR and SIN-JFK already exist SIN-FRA-JFK works for a couple of reasons, one being that they can offer their excellent First Class product to New York (the A350ULRs do not have First), this is supported by...

    Route Development & Rumours

    If this comes off, a nice addition to MAN's portfolio and would bring Cairo up to 9 weekly with the route only having started in July 2023. Connections would be available intra-Egypt and to other parts of Africa and the Middle East. 3 weekly seems right for these guys - they just won't be able...

    Route Development & Rumours

    In recent years Thai have held slots in S20, S23 and did not apply in S24 although it was 'close'. Air India have held slots in S23, W23, S24, and appear that they will apply for W24 too. Royal Jordanian have held in S23 with the route coming off S24 Juneyao were to launch S20, we know what...

    Route Development & Rumours

    Juneyao still hold the same 3 weekly, Mon/Wed/Fri B789 slots and dont appear to have withdrew them so as I say probably up in the air As for S25, it's early days yet, but there are some good rumours- although I must state that S24 looked very rosy this time in 2023, and it looks like we may...

    Route Development & Rumours

    Air India have withdrawn Summer slots, while no Thai in 2024 either. Juneyao the last long haul one remaining for S24. That one's still up in the air apparently. However, S25 looks very promising...

    Turkish Airlines

    Turkish to add a FOURTH daily IST-MAN frequency from April, nightstopping service. Initially 4 weekly but with a view to get this to full 28 weekly soon: Could this be the ice-breaker for the MEB3+1, who seem to be content with 3 daily for QR and EK and just the one for EY? The second daily for...

    The story I have heard is that they were initially trying to source a third Air Tanker - this was not successful, then they looked towards the likes of W2F who were already fully booked for the summer.

    Poll 2: 2024 PAX

    As it appears the first poll did garner some interest and developed into a good conversation with some interesting points, this being a recurring topic here and also on other forums, and having seen & voted in the BHX version of this, how many PAX do you think MAN will carry in 2024? Will we...

    Daily Direct Link from BHX to the US

    American McDonalds, apart from the drinks and ice creams, is arguably worse than the British one! I don't think a 2 month trial on Newark would work, especially not in the winter. IMHO, if it were to ever happen, it would likely be for a summer season with heavy subsidies from the BHX side to...

    Daily Direct Link from BHX to the US

    Obviously, as stated by myself, there is leakage. The data only displays BHX-USA figures, however we have to also see this from the airlines' point of view. Sure, as I say, BHX may be able to support JFK, but will the airlines be enticed? The point of proximity works two ways - it does...

    POLL: Long Haul Routes

    The poll's open for a week, I have 'unchecked' it though so I think it's now indefinite. BKK, surprisingly, has not been served direct from MAN for a long time, despite being the 3rd busiest, unserved long-haul route in 2018. It has been rumoured for about 25 years. Not happening in 2024...
