The first release of ACL always has us salivating but realistically a proportion of that optimism evaporates. The good news suggests we are starting at a much higher level. I still wonder where all the apron space is coming from !

The amount of build in Manchester is astonishing. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/what-next-manchester-city-centre-13926805#ICID=Android_MENNewsApp_AppShare

Hallaluah! Mr Brady has been wholesome in support of Heathrow expansion which is of course fine but not a word until now about Manchester, adjacent to his OWN constituency! In more Chinese news MAG press are gushing re this article...

I'm not doubting the creativity, just the execution. Any airport that can manage to extract a semblance of recognition from Visit Britain (who are obsessed with London ) deserves wholesome credit. But, and it's a big but , cherry picking a destination which by any measure is arguably in the...

I'm not going to repeat the posting as it's quite lengthy but full marks to Birmingham for enticing Visit London sorry Visit Britain into promoting Birmingham as a gateway to Shakespeare country and wait for it The Peak District. I say full marks because I'm scratching my head about this given...

A 5 months service is useless IMHO.

Fantastic news although a note of caution, flybe could punt the vast majority of Scottish traffic via Heathrow onto the 2 a day Heathrow option, that realistically rules out Glasgow, Edinburgh , Aberdeen, unless MAN gains parity and in turn the same level of frequency and choice. That leaves...

Is this true? I thought BOS and SFO were on shorter summers never mind going year round! CHRISTMAS comes early if confirmed !

Lord Adonis talks the talk when he is in the North but promptly forgets common sense when he is back snuffling at the leather in The House Of Lords. He is a windbag Westminster politician who ebbs and flos with the breeze. Comparing Manchester with Edinburgh and Birmingham is akin to...

"Almost exactly two years since President Xi Jinping visited the North and announced the UK’s first direct flight to China outside of London, research released today reveals that the connection is delivering a significant economic reward, or ‘China Dividend’, to the Northern Powerhouse." Being...

So pleased that at least Yorkshire is leading the charge on chronic transport underspend! Pity the Manchester Evening News didn't even report the story. It's not just Grayling who should be called to account where the hell are our local MPs...

I did wonder myself "if" there is an annoucement due with the trade mission. Opportunity to announce "good news" perhaps? Have said before China is so large you could almost operate flights to 3 or 4 separate destinations such are the distances involved. It would be like dealing with 4...

I'm as bemused as everybodyelse. If it is apparen't above forecast, why on earth chop it back ? Unless there feed the alternate days onto the "daily" Brussels flight ? It almost feels like marching up the hill simply to march back down again.

I"m probably in the minority but i do hope Norwegian avoid Manchester re long haul to US "unless"they are new routes that definitely don't compete with our current structure. Some may view them as the future but they are most definitely not a Ryanair or EasyJet as far as the balance sheet goes...

One of those US EDI routes had some pretty poor load factors. I can't see 60% load factor lasting on an LCC.

My comment was framed as good news in the context of this being the Manchester thread.

They appear to have binned everything outside London other than Manch so good news.
