Agreed Jerry. Was suprised Virgin used A320s BUT even these didn't work on main trunk routes. What chance Teesside etc Ps. Apols re spelling /missing words etc. After posting I seem to occasionally lose the function to edit. Report Only is the option available. No idea why.

I would be suprised if this made any difference whatsoever. ALL the stars have to be aligned to join the dots ( not just cost), and that simply isnt happening in a meaningful way. Infact if the LBA example is anything to go by the model connecting LHR is becoming even more frayed. Ideally...

Just as a footnote to the above we should also be mindful of outside influences which could impact the ACL f'cast dramatically. BBC World Service are reporting riots across many Iranian cities. This hasn't seeped into the consciousness of the 10 clock news yet but if Iran falls it could...

I personally would be thrilled with a median figure of say 7.5%. Would take MAN within the magic 30m.

I'm not, I'm completely indifferent regarding Birmingham Only joking.....

Interesting that Glasgow is 30% up. That does suggest that having two carriers on the route did stimulate demand? Clearly not to the extent that they were both making money but nonetheless there was a significant increase in pax numbers.

BACF is actually an interesting one. Lots of adverts coincidently on the TV at the moment for the BA Holiday brand. Presumbly as Heathrow is a "business only airport", all that brand marketing must be for Gatwick and the BACF fleet from Manchester / Birmingham etc (cough) :) Joking apart ...

Do we know the load factor for Casablanca for November? Did I read correctly circa 1300 pax across say 12 flights.

I meant MY editing User ! I was referring to me.

I was actually in the middle of a "ps" , suggesting I'll probably be 100% wrong on the negatives, but you pounced early the vagaries of posting THEN editing. Must try harder.

2018 The good..... Modest growth across the board 8% taking Manchester to 30m. Kuwait hooefully see the opportunity and swap out Shannon. Our only new long haul airline for 2018. The bad. Bye bye ORD Re-evaluation of pre clearance with a decison to scrub. (Surely we would have had some...

Absolute shed load of movements Christmas Day with a I guess traffic every 15 minutes in /out? Even the BA shuttle have a couple of flights amazeballs! Happy Christmas

Ah yes "Manchester Airport braces for Christmas rush " is another :) It's definitely inbound from somewhere!

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/21/travel/what-to-do-36-hours-in-manchester-england.html So is Manchester the London of The North" No :) But London maybe the Manchester of the South! Excellent article in the NYTimes. This is about the third article in the last 12 months...

I'm amazed we havn't had a ..... " 200,000 in airport holiday getaway" yet. This tedious MEN headline must be "holding" somewhere around the Manchester area. :)

I'm hardly in a position to "instruct" Loganair For the sake of the forum I'm not entering into a game of head tennis in order to satisfy your ego.

Yawner And your inability to argue a point without a civil tongue also lacks some basic understanding of how to converse with your fellow human beings ! You are articulate so why not make a point without sneering at others ? Try it. I'm sure you'll feel better.

Here, here, there are lots of opportunities for Loganair without the need to burn money on GLA. Direct flights to the Shetland Islands Orkey and Stornoway should be a money spinner. I know for a fact lots of bid watches bird migrate North in the summer and will pay a premium for a direct...

Hope it doesn't get cancelled !
