You can almost feel the excitement from some at the prospect of Manchester suffering a Primera-style situation and losing its coveted Mumbai nonstop!

Well, it's possible but - atleast in my view- unlikely. Jet Airways are hardly in the same league as Monarch.

This has been rebuked by Jet Airways' CEO, in the statement below. Additionally, Jet Airways have 225 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft on order (Boeing would not want to lose this order) and are - internally - still talking about international expansion. An airline simply would not have this attitude...

Other than Mumbai and New Delhi, they operate long haul from Bangalore and Chennai to Amsterdam and Paris respectively. Bangalore is - to a certain extent - an important tech hub and Chennai has a prominent pharmaceutical industry.

Yes, that's correct. An extra flight on Fridays has been added to the programme, as confirmed in this article: https://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/279925/jet-airways-increases-planned-manchester-service-from-nov-2018/ Fantastic news to have a route expanded before the inaugural...

Great news to see Bordeaux served. A gaping hole in our European network now filled.

BREAK; Qatar to operate Airbus A350-900XWB 18-weekly from 28th October 2018

Oman Air operated the first of (hopefully) many Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner flights, operated by A40-SE.

Of course this is a regrettable situation. However, at least anecdotally, I have heard many people are pleased with the BA CityFlyer service, especially with the complementary drinks and snacks still making a token appearance!

Oman Air's inaugural Boeing 787 into Manchester is en-route, operated by A40-SZ. This means Oman Air will have an all-787 operation in the UK.

I’m very positive about this new airline entering the North West market and I’m very excited to see the E-2 on UK soil. I was simply pointing out that MAN does also have nonstop Bergen service.

I believe Manchester is served from Bergen by SAS and Loganair (the latter via Inverness)

Yes, Jerry, that’s correct. And I agree it would be unwise of Virgin’s PR department to draw attention to the closure of a route a - so we’ll see what comes with the summer schedule next year.

Virgin Atlantic officially announce new MAN-LAX route, with increases to other routes. No mention of dropping SFO. New Los Angeles route bookable from 25th June. With a fantastic photo of Virgin at Manchester Terminal 2:

Interesting to note that the timings have now reverted to the tweaked arrival/departure. Arriving from JED at around 1145 and departing at approx. 1615 at the moment. 777-300ER ops also still scheduled for the winter period.

Yet more good news for Manchester: From airlineroute, Cathay Pacific will launch A350-1000XWB service to Manchester from 1st December
