The PR piece with at least 2 bloopers https://mediacentre.manchesterairport.co.uk/air-algerie-to-launch-first-flights-from-manchester-airport-to-north-african-hub/ As we know they operated the route in 2003 and Douala has now been annexed by Senegal seizing it from Cameroon

i didn't think it was thar far away. Today seems to have been a good day for me not to venture over the Pennines as i do fairly regularly Yorkshire Dales and Yorkshire Moors minibus tours from York and the occasional Yorkshire Dales minibus tour from Manchester Airport.

how's it looking with wind? I've seen on social media that Hawes has already recorded over 50mph today. i also need to point out that this storm has nothing to do with me!

It was a collective failure by us here on this forum to neglect the 40th anniversary of SQ operating into MAN on 31st March. It seems weird to say that they were only granted the route license on the back of British airlines getting further 5th freedom rights out of Singapore Two years after...

EI992 is showing on FR24 for arrival at 06.59 (nice and precise!) A320 EI-DEO. Could that be for STS if confirmed? No outbound departure showing for it.

You can tell the effect of the Aer Lingus UK strikes with 15% increase in passenger numbers to Dublin!

The thing that did surprise me a little is the number of US visitors to northwest England. I know Delta would normally be out of the picture seeing they have Virgin but are Delta, American and United really telling is that the all these "random" places that they pick for summer seasonal...

so the likes of DUB, AMS, CDG, KEF are all okay to get passengers from all over the place including other cities in their countries but it seems you have unilaterally decided that MAN can only survive on the local Greater Manchester market? ___________ A bit of fluff on EI and their withdrawal...

What's going to be interesting is seeing which LHR services are going to see reduced frequencies to allow MAN to have an extra 9 flights a week. The other consequence of boosting Orlando flights is if this is going to be a permanent summer thing of 19 per week peak season and if that is going...

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/chandeliers-anniversaries-and-new-routes-33029465 A watch this space regarding T1... "the work we’ve done in and around Terminal 2 gives us the capacity we need to grow from 32m passengers a year today, up to 40m by 2030 and...

Loosely spealing, they could be operating 5 flights with the capacity of 4 A380s, 2 x 298 - 99 =497 seats added each way. with the bonus of not having to truck as much cargo as at present.

at EDI it's 2 or 3 daily service year round that goes to 8 or 9 in summer. For whatever reason, the US tourism numbers jump off a cliff outside the summer period. Having a chunk of your terminal dedicated to something of limited use from October to April needs to be seen in the wider context...

The added "bonus" for MAN as and when EU pull the plug is that they can put forward a results driven case to Norse that even with all these mysterious dubious "services" (at 105% of cost!) EI is still generating a profit. If you look at Norse's results, having something in profit may be...
