The ban on Pakistan carriers serving the UK has reportedly been lifted. I expect Manchester to gain 2 returning carriers within the next few days/weeks at most.

From W25, Manchester will see 4 routes operated by Norse that aren’t bookable on Norse.
Islamabad will run 2 weekly on behalf of HB international
Delhi will run 3 weekly on behalf of Indigo
Bridgetown and Antigua will run in behalf of P&O.
Rather strange situation if you ask me. 😂

After being loaded initially as an A333 all summer, Virgin are now using the A350 on Manchester-Las Vegas until 13th June.
Some flights are already close to sold out, so unsure if the upgrade is due to the higher demand or just aircraft availability. Good to see either way.

Emirates has signed a new partnership with Visit Britain to increase inbound tourism to the UK. Not just from the Middle East, but Asia and Australia too.
Could therefore be a great time to announce new flights to help boost those numbers 😉

Here’s an odd one. Saw 2 brand new southwest airlines catering trucks on the M40 near Banbury. They were American trucks that aren’t made in the UK and as said, looked brand new so unlikely to have been sold on already.
Any ideas as to what they are doing in the UK?

Air Canada once again downgrade their Manchester flights.
Instead of a 5 weekly B787, it’s now a 3 weekly A330.
Even with Canadian airlines switching to Europe in the face of US tariffs, it seems MAN just can’t catch a break on TATL.
