The idea is that United could have easily added MAN.BHXBFS using A321XLRs or MAX8s but apparently they don't like the idea that planes can be filled of British citizens rather than US citizens. They are treating secondary Germany cities in exactly the same manner, Delta don't operate...

A bit of compare and contrast piece done the Telegraph on runway construction development and cost looking at MAN and LHR https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/manchester-airport-put-heathrow-shame-110000799.html Converting £172m to what it would be now comes to £334m

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours

odd to hear around the 8:10 mark on this interview about the Aer Lingus cost cutting plan https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/clips/22630379/ that there was a 17% operating margin for Manchester. It would be very devasting for any of crew that were based here who moved to Dublin only to find...

Interesting to see Virgin are leasing one of their former A330s that is now with Wamos on flights out of Manchester. .

I asked Mr Co-Pilot of Microsoft Airways the differential between A380 and 777 - 37 cubic metres then convert that nto tonnage. "37 m³ ≈ 7.4 tonnes (typical airline cargo density)" - that would only equate to 1,332 tonnes on a 3 daily basis. The increase is almost 3,000 tonnes. I'm not...

i know this thread is mainly about passengers but do we know what's driving the enormous freight increases? It's not as though there's ben heaps of additional long-haul widebodies to stimulate the market or is the change of type for Emirates enabled more freight to be carried ex-Manchester...

as noted by SPD travels, tucked away in this is Air Peace 3 weekly to Lagos...

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...

https://www.transtats.bts.gov/DL_SelectFields.aspx?gnoyr_VQ=FJE&QO_fu146_anzr=Nv4 Pn44vr45 EI out of DUB to JFK (with attendant feed from all and sundry destinations) DUB-JFK 94.4% in July, 95.1% in August JFK-DUB: 79.5% in July, 89.7% in August

From Jan to Sept, EI had a seatload factor of 78.85% on the MAN routes. Going in directional travel. MAN-JFK exceeded 92.5% loads in July and August. JFK-MAN for those months 91.6% in August and 78.1% in July. This is from the T-100 US stats

and n those reports you can see there was an intergroup transfer of €11 million, up from around €5 million. it begs the question of whether they are deliberately trying to minimize the MAN base profits without affecting the overall group profit,

Simple Flying's piece on this service has this useful snippet "The market is huge. According to booking data, 140,000 round-trip passengers flew indirectly between the two cities in 2024, mainly via the Gulf.

It would be very odd if it's the 10 new Etihad routes reveal that City is referencing! Technically we could be ruled out as we've had an A380 operate on a one-off basis on their services before!

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/NI612895/filing-history The EI (UK) operation had a 7% increase in profits for their last financial year to €5.5 million with a 29% increase in revenue to €111 million but a 30% increase in costs to €106 million. Cargo revenue...

The problem for the regions is, without sounding too harsh, is the tourists are being brainwashed into visiting London or Edinburgh, like in your example about explaining where you from and getting s non-plussed reaction. There is one post on another website that stated "Birmingham is...

Further to the above "Manchester is profitable" we have this https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/aer-lingus-uk-posted-5m-profit-as-manchester-routes-took-off/a1631337068.html Roughly £4.5 million profit on £76 million revenue for the 1st full year of operation. They've also extended...

and its now bookable 5 weekly for winter https://www.aeroroutes.com/eng/230706-msnw23man

Very odd to see such short notice of the official launch of these flights, just 1 month, I do hope that their expectations will be tempered that it would be unlikely to be full to bursting loads as people would have already sorted out their travel plans for the summer.
