Just a reminder that parliament TV iplayer Transport Committee today 1645 will provide a real insight into route development not just at Heathrow but Manchester. One nugget was put fwd by way of example by the EasyJet spokesperson when she suggested that when a new aircraft comes on stream the...

Just one other point are we being somewhat selective , what about cargo ? At the same rate Manchester has lost all pure freight so DSA has gained °and" handsomely. Ad hoc B747s and MD11s are at least 2/ 3 times a week, has DSA "poached" all that traffic ? Or is their ability to offer a...

Not at all its a free market and airlines are free to choose from where they wish to fly and that includes long haul. Let's not misquote posters. 5 or 10 years ago PIA used to fly long haul direct from Leeds and an airline whose name escapes me also operated from Liverpool to New York...

I don't think having a shiny new terminal will make a blind bit of difference in respect of an airline choosing destination A Manchester or B Somewhere else. Yes MAG PR will be in overdrive if a new entrant does arrive coincidentally at the sametime, but would an airline choose Manchester...

I must say I'm all for passion but I do think "poach" is a tad strong. If you go to the supermarket you make a choice based on opportunity / cost be that Asda, Aldi , Tesco etc. Airlines surely do the same ? If WizzAir decided to move to Manchester it would be based on multiple factors. I...

Just curious how this compares if such a comparison were even possible. Newark - new Terminal 33 gates New roads 3000 space car park ...yours for £600m ! https://www.internationalairportreview.com/news/67038/tutor-perini-parsons-newark-terminal-build/

https://www.newcivilengineer.com/business-culture/row-brewing-over-heathrow-access-plans-warns-tfl/10028159.article#.WofeS8OXFg8.twitter I've put this in here as this IS "ANOTHER light in a tunnel with an express behind it" and one which may affect Manchester Airport in respect of expansion of...

Hope other people find these items of interest. I do think they add to the general regeneration of Manchester which can only be good for the airport. This proposed tower will be the tallest residential block in Europe. What do we have that most European capitals don't have ...

"MAGs" elite twitter team Shaz and Kyle have struck again this morning. Imagery of The Great Wall with ..... Happy Chinese New Year Direct to Beijing Nothing wrong with that, except there is no mention thus far of Hong Kong which is in China and is potentially more important as its...

I was rather hoping Airport City would look like this by now. Credit the excellent VDB on Manchester SCC Skyscraper, An excellent resource. ://www.urbinfomanc.com/manchester-development-map

I've often said that the stewardship of Manchester Airport is fluid , the current board members will be gone in 5 maybe 10 years. Just following up on a number of points raised by other posters, I do wonder if Charlie Cornish time as CEO may be coming to an end ? He has presided over...

900 passengers ! In context if United and City can press through to the final rounds of Champions league that 900 will be more than covered !

Interesting ?
