Don’t forget. Manchester has this beauty coming in tomorrow. Possibly the first time ever JAL have touched down at MAN (may be wrong but can’t remember a previous visit).

It appears Norse are about to have even more Manchester presence, on behalf of another operator.
So now that’s 5 routes using a Norse aircraft for 4 different operators including Norse themselves.

The Manchester evening news ought to be ashamed of itself. Alerted by a ‘breaking news’ notification of ‘Ryanair UK plane crashes at Greek airport’
It clipped a barrier while taxiing onto the stand at low speed. The amount of alarm its notification probably caused is down right shameful.

Qatar Airways started their 4th daily flight to Manchester today. Have to say, it always looks good to see 2 long haul airlines alongside each other at Manchester.

Strange line in this Birmingham Airport ad.
‘The only UK airport to have its own rail station’? Huh?
Prestwick, Stansted, Southend, Gatwick, Manchester and Teeside just to name a few with dedicated national rail stations.
Seems an odd line to put in an ad when it’s not true? At all?

It appears Indigo are pushing the launch of its long haul flights back a few months. I have no idea if it’s due to the Pakistan conflict, but MAN and AMS slots are now only held from 1st Sept onwards.
In the case of MAN, there also appears to be a timing change too.
