Archive Route Development & Rumours

[laviation]

The info I posted show changes, so one assumes Norwegian will run the same programme as in S23

 

[Land23R]

I think that's because there are no significant changes for that summary. If you look at P5 of the report, DY and D8 are shown although a reduction in total seats combined compared to the same initial report for S23.

Is the Thai route not happening?

 

[Land23R]

It appears not - again! Juneyao not in either.

 

[Scottie Dog]

DY still hold 378 slots but down from 496 last year. D8 have 246, which is up from 232 last year.
All Start of Season numbers.

Thai are rumoured to finally launch in S24.

Juneyao still hold the same 3 weekly slots as has been previously reported

 

[Land23R]

Unless I'm missing something, Juneyao are shown on P5 & P6 as nil for both S23 and S24 initial reports.
Neither are they listed on P8 for movements by airline.
Were those 3 x weekly slots in the winter report?
No seats / movements shown for Thai either.

 

[laviation]

Juneyao still hold slots as per the MAN departure board. I posted the times / days the other day

 

[Land23R]

Thanks laviation but isn't that based on slots for the winter? If those slots do carry through to summer, all I can say is that they are not showing on the full S24 initial Coordination Report.

Can't edit now. We know there have been IT issues so perhaps that is the explanation for Juneyao not showing.

 

[laviation]

They didn't hold slots in W23 so this is an application for S24

Any idea of when the other reports come out?

 

[BLB777]

Just wondering is the 2 weekly MAN-MLE with Maldivian still on the cards? Only asking because I saw a recent travel agent post offering a week's holiday to the Maldives with flights from Manchester (it also didn't mention any stopover). It would make sense if it was direct but with nothing mentioned I'm not sure, plus if you had to do a stopover in DOH for example you'd end up spending most of your time travelling. Just didn't make sense to me

Watch this space....
Although it's not included in the ACL report I have it from an excellent source that Juneyao will be gracing Manchester’s apron this summer 3 times per week.

BA.

Jet2 I was thinking…

I was at MAN on Friday and noticed the A330 Maleth Air taking off for Barbados at around 9pm! It normally departs around 10am!
And according to FR24 departures to Antigua and Barbados are cancelled today!

I can't imagine P&O turning to an airline that only has hired wide bodied aircraft and none of it's own.

 

[diamond geezer]

It should be obvious that it's BA. "An airline that hasn't done UK regional UK long-haul since 2008", which just happens to be the year BA ditched MAN-JFK.
