Regrettably, for the time-being at least, I have just had this confirmed. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes I saw the memo, they are also refusing the Pakistan flight on Jordan which may go to DSA

 

[EGCC_MAN]

But isn't the PIA / Jordan Aviation an established service with existing slots?

 

[Coathanger16]

But isn't the PIA / Jordan Aviation an established service with existing slots?

Looking at the daily movements that @Scottie Dog provides, MAN has been handling over the 475 movements that they’re planning on capping movements at - it has been 500-550 depending on the day recently.

Can’t see how some existing flights won’t affected in that case?

 

[Land23R]

Interesting that LGW's reduction from about 900 daily movements to 850 is an average of 5.6%.
Using the 550 figure for MAN (it's been higher on odd days), that would be a 14% reduction.
What happens after 8th July review is perhaps less clear.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Can I suggest that this discussion is more suitable to the Manchester Movements & Logs pages which can be found on the following link:

Manchester Movement Logs & Heads Up

Movements for Monday 27th June – data from FR24 Okay here we go again. I've decided not to include cancellation as the list appears to be rather spurious. Arrivals – 259 Departures – 265 Total Scheduled Movements – 524 Movements per operator: 2Excel Aviation 2, Aer Lingus 4, Aer Lingus...

I'll post a brief resume of June movement numbers shortly.

Out of interest…what is the Pier C satellite lounge?
I assume this means pier C is with us for the long term…

So if they are amending the infrastructure under the satellite does this mean the satellite is staying for a prolonged period? It was earmarked for demolition.

There was already doubt pre covid how much - if any - of Pier C would be removed.

 

[Llandudno]

There was already doubt pre covid how much - if any - of Pier C would be removed.

There was doubt about the actual pier being demolished, but the circular satellite was almost certainly going to be demolished.

 

[marni1971]

There was doubt about the actual pier being demolished, but the circular satellite was almost certainly going to be demolished.

I beg to differ. There was doubt if all the gates would remain in use in the satellite but by summer 2018 it was uncertain if the satellite would go.

 

[Llandudno]

All the renders I’ve seen, plus the general (internal) chatter had signified the end of the satellite. C-pier did appear to remain in some of the later renders, in some form, but as said, all the renders J saw had the actual satellite gone.

 

[Land23R]

I may well be wrong but I seem to recall the plan at one stage included the provision of 2 new stands at the southern end of T2 as part of the TP, which would have meant at least part if not all Pier C going. At a different time, wasn't there plans in the TP for 4 piers on T2? I imagine a 4th pier could have impinged on T1 Pier C anyway but frankly I've lost track of all the changes and their sequence.
