Sorry to hear that Scotttie and wishing you a speedy return to better health. Your daily logs are very much appreciated.

Yes, aeroroutes says it's 397 seats on JFK but the only A351 version on Virgin seat guru shows the more premium heavy 335 seats. I would assume therefore MAN has the higher capacity version for both MCO and JFK

Good to see ATMs top the 500 mark.

2 diversions to MAN this afternoon due high winds and holding delays into LHR. BA 134 from Mumbai BA 951 from Munich

Having written my piece, I've just read on SPD Travels twitter that GF are taking up those extra 2 weekly slots. Good news.

Being the FY end, the FY to-date is the same as the Moving Annual Total for which the total shown is 2019. You're right Scottie, still some way to go. April will be important with Easter falling in the month for both years I believe. The 4 months June - September will be key and while the ACL...

Good to see the ATMs on Tuesday have now crept over 400. The previous Tuesday was only 336.

If the captions are the wrong way round, I'd much prefer to see a few seats along the way. Gate 201 to Border Control is a bit of a trek as I recall.

Looking at Scottie's extract from the ACL report of Significant Route changes, just a few points that come to mind. On short haul, confirmation that easyjet, ryanair and Jet 2 are all adding an extra based a/c, even if in some cases, it's not clear when the extra a/c will arrive. That's good...

MAN took at least 3 diversions yesterday due to strong crosswinds at various airports and long holding delays into Heathrow. AA104 (B777) JFK-LHR FR4525 An EDI diversion (ex WMI) XQ 596 Sun Express Antalya-BHX It looked as if EK29 was on it's way here but having declared a fuel emergency...

I hope you both enjoy the time away Scottie and Happy Birthday to your good lady.

You don't have to pay £20 of course. With a phone call when arriving passengers have collected their bags, they can walk to the pick up area in T2 West and the charge is £6 for up to 30 minutes. You need to park up initially away from the airport but that can be done towards Heald Green or...

A surprise visit from AI161 diverting from LHR due fog. A B788 from Delhi. Just a shame we won't be seeing their scheduled services this summer as slots were returned. A second visitor diverting was VS222, a St Lucia-LHR arrival. Fog was quite extensive in the Midlands and SE although STN...

Was Saturday 10th Dec. when we had snow and the airport was closed for nearly 4 hours? Thanks for the data Scottie Dog. Wednesday runs Tuesday close and is the lowest some weeks.

The A333 has about 30 more seats than the B788 I believe, but the summer service is now only 3.5 months instead of 4.5 months initially planned. And at one stage it was going to be daily from mid-June. Edinburgh seems to have been unaffected. I guess if your glass is half full, it's a relief AC...

Just to clarify, I was thinking 44,000 pax to 31 Dec. 2022. I would expect Dec'22 to be more than Dec'21. Either way, over 35,000 in that press release, while not strictly wrong, understates how well they did.

Thanks Ian. That list totals 39,659 and is only 11 months, so for the year I'd hope for 44,000.

I can''t recall when Ethiopian restarted normal service after covid but 'over 17,500 passengers' sounds on the low side to me at 337 per week average. I suppose if loads were low in the first part of the year, an overall average of 50-60 per flight could be correct. Perhaps our statastician...

For pax checking in at T2 but departing from T1 Pier B or C, that would be quite a hike along the link shown. Plenty of moving travelators we trust.

Surely they can't leave a massive area like that when space on the airfield is extremely limited. There's no sign of the old T2 gates 201-208 being used as far as I can see. Remote parking until Pier 3 can be justified and affordable?
