Why?

It was built/extended, as MAplc hazily believe that BA could extend the “hub” that was quite large there in the late 90’s. That was the hope anyway, but it never materialised, and BA have underused it too much not since 2003.
with so many routes been pulled in the last 24 months, BA should not allowed to call it its “own” terminal!

bmi and baby have move over, to fill it up and relieve the already congested T1!

Don’t get me wrong, BA had its own market @ MAN, but blew it with BACX. I can recall my flights in the 735’s with C class fully booked, when i flew them to MXP and GVA in the 90’s, and the likes of LH,AF, and KL operate with healthy C class loads, so the demand IS there

I think they should remove the BA logo off the terminal anyway, as its not a BA nor One World exclusive terminal by now

:EDIT: And i don’t see the “suspended” GeeBee routes returning to MAN in ’07

Big reduction on MAN flights too, with only TFS and PFS operating over the winter. Time to chuck BA out of T3!

LMAO! Too late 😀

My word, felt like yesturday we said happy bday to you Lance 😀

Martyn, love the Dash, i’ll be back in my painted BA Connect scheme for the PSS, which is available on AVSIM too, in the very near future!

Ok, so because I miss-worded the title (it should have read “Firct Choice plane in Precautionary Diversion”) I will never actually get a serious answer?

Some people like to veer away from the subject as seen here. I would have used the term “Emergency Landing” too mate, as you say, that it the term widely used!

Regarding the problem, i wonder what it was. But i don’t think here you’ll find the answer :rolleyes:
