Milan is a shoppers haven and a shrine to fashion, it hosts the world-famous fashion week and houses enough designer boutiques to put your credit card into meltdown, although at the current Euro exchange rate it may be much cheaper than your local high street.

Tourists will not be the only people to benefit from Jet2.com’s new service however, with both Leeds and Milan being important commercial and financial cities, interest from the business traveller is sure to be high.
Jet2.com boss, Philip Meeson, said: “Milan is a wonderful destination and offers endless possibilities for all, whatever their budget”.
“This brings our tally of Italian destinations to four, with our extensive Leeds Bradford programme also serving Pisa, Rome & Venice, flights for all of which are now on sale for Summer ’06. The people of Yorkshire simply love Italy and we’ll give them what they want!”

lbaspotterIts official Now, Here is the press release from Cathay pacific’s website http://www.cathaypacific.com/intl/aboutcx/press/0,,31342-132404,00.html
06 December 2005
Cathay Pacific announces service to Moscow and Manchester
Cathay Pacific Airways today announced it will, pending final government approvals, make history again as the first Hong Kong airline flying to Russia with the launch of a three-times-weekly service to Moscow, starting 27 March 2006.
From Moscow, Cathay Pacific’s service will continue onwards to Manchester, England. Cathay Pacific will be the only airline to offer a direct passenger service to Manchester from Hong Kong.
The announcement came a week after the airline placed its biggest ever order for new aircraft in order to add flights and new destinations.
The Moscow service will extend an existing codeshare agreement with Aeroflot – Russian Airlines, while the Manchester service marks a resumption of Cathay Pacific passenger flights to the city, which traditionally has strong ties with Hong Kong. The route will be operated with an Airbus A340-300.
Cathay Pacific Chief Executive Philip Chen said: “Cathay Pacific’s new Moscow and Manchester service adds yet another spoke to the Hong Kong hub. It strengthens the city’s ties to Europe and reinforces its position as the gateway to the Chinese Mainland. “
Mr Chen added: “Moscow is an exciting destination and our new service will offer Hong Kong passengers more choices and greater travel convenience to this great capital. With three new services to Manchester, we will operate an unmatched 31 flights every week from Hong Kong to the UK.”
Both the Moscow and Manchester services are expected to generate new hub traffic to and from Australia, New Zealand and around the region. Hong Kong’s gateway position will appeal to Russian businesses forging closer trade ties within the Pearl River Delta.
Cathay Pacific has operated codeshare flights to Moscow with Aeroflot since June 2004. Aeroflot currently operates the service with Boeing 767 aircraft. All services operated by both airlines will carry Aeroflot’s “SU” and Cathay Pacific’s “CX” prefixes.
Cathay Pacific last week announced its biggest ever order for new aircraft to grow its fleet and network. The airline made commitments for 16 advanced wide-body Boeing 777-300ER aircraft with purchase rights for 20 more. It also made commitments to acquire three Airbus A330-300s to operate regional routes.
Cathay Pacific currently operates 54 passenger services to five cities in Europe each week. It operates four flights a day to London, plus daily services to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, and five weekly flights to Rome. The airline serves 92 destinations world-wide.

lbaspotterHi
Jet2’s second B757-200 G-LSAB Its not due to arrive LBA until This Thursday 8th December. Jet2 will be crew training with the aircraft on Friday 9th.
lbaspotterRoss, know anything of an India – LBA service? Surely would be a good route for them, in the same way Lahore obviously was.
Not heard anything about a return to LBA or LTN. All I know is that they are looking at serving some UK destinations by the looks of things. I do hope they can get it right this time round. Not many airlines get a second chance!
Hope LBA & LTN would or could be included in thier plans? It I’ll be nice to see long haul flights start again from LBA.
lbaspotterIt probably will be, like Mark & tomfellows says, SweFly again.
Swe-fly are to restart operations (soon) is the word. The Indian boeing 737-800 low cost operator Spicejet.com have aquired 50% of the swedish airline. The other 50% is owned by the Ex UK investors who brought them to Leeds and Luton airports in the past. All off the Swedish investors have left the company.
The New company will still have to be a Swedish reg’d company as the swedish CAA it holds its AOC and granted its route licences. Hence the reason to keep the swefly name and not use the spicejet name.
Routes they have been licenced to operate by the Swedish CAA are as follows.
India – Stockholm – UK (UK – India traffic rights have been aquired)
India – Stockholm – New York
India – Stockholm – Toronto
