Personally, I doubt (or hope) it would prove damage to frequent flyers/business contracts as it is obviously as cause to the adverse weather and devastation in Texas. Anecdotally, many are very pleased with the quality of SQ service. Worth discounting those four sectors from the average loads...

Theresa May was previously against expansion at Heathrow, as her constituency Maidenhead, is just 14miles away from the proposed runway. She seems to have made a decision on airport expansion out of necessity, rather than of full support. With Boris Johnson, Phillip Hammond & Michael Gove all...

For KLM, the UK-US market is by no means their strongest market, because of geography etc. They are much more focused on US-continental Europe traffic and UK to Asia/Africa. I can't see them limiting VA in any way, given their supreme access to the UK markets and close relationship with DL...

I really don't think this route cut is as a result of poor performance in the traditional sense. AA are having a major fleet reallocation and switch of their JFK and PHL hubs. They are strengthening their PHL and ORD bases and weakening JFK due to under performance in general. Many other routes...

Looks as if AA's EDI-JFK flights are being cut.

It's official: -AA JFK gone - AA ORD goes 787 earlier than expected on 24th March

Slot applications are quite a hint of future ambitions so you can understand why supporters were excited at the prospect of a new connection to Guangzhou. Very similar to the excitement over additional route speculation of Primera Air at Birmingham, the main difference being, they haven't even...

Although it began as a healthy debate, I think we should realise it is not approaching a conclusion so, as the post above, states I think we should move on and get the Manchester General Thread on track to general news and updates about the airport.

Well the potential is there. 90% load factors, growing demand etc. I think in W18 we could see something along the lines of: CX 216 MAN 1130 HKG 0705 +1 D CX 217 MAN 1930 HKG 1455 +1 Mon, Thur, Sat CX 219 HKG 0105 MAN 0605 D CX 218 HKG 0905 MAN 1505 Mon, Thur, Sat Is that unrealistically...

I think there is a change of the flight number. CX's website only shows one flight per day but with the amended flight numbers (CX216/219) as below: Google Flights shows both services. Amadeus shows CX216/219 as daily except Sunday and CX358/359 on Sundays. The anomaly is of course that Wed...

Hainan were advertising all over the nation's provincial areas to get people on the only scheduled service out of London to China. They are advertising their Manchester route because their only UK destination is Manchester, and they feel MAN has the capability to serve the regional market, hence...

I completely agree with the above. And, for the record, I have flown from EMA LBA LPL EMA BHX LGW and Heathrow!

Haha! We are always grateful for your analytics!

Does anyone know when the July statistics will be released?

I've never declared a great unfairness at having to go via LHR. As you state, it's a fact that London is the largest air traffic market in the UK and beyond, so it's going to have more viability with flights. It is also a major hub for BA and the hub and spoke model is how they have built that...

I understand you are only expressing your view (which of course you are perfectly entitled to) but the potential issues you allude to are commonplace in modern society. You could be travelling half an hour to your local airport and suffer from a road incident/traffic. And whilst I agree with you...

Can I just say if airlines went to 'where their passengers came from' e.g. Leeds, Doncaster, Liverpool and Manchester it would dilute the viability of any service at all, further constricting passengers options to fly locally as you seem to advocate. And if passengers from Doncaster for example...

From someone I know in Oman, it will be a 788.
