Is th is official? I was going to ask this and you beat me to it. When are they closing shop?

Believe its May 10th – rumours suggest that Olympic will be adding a Monday service to Manchester when Hellas Jet stop.

Weather’s a bit grim at the moment (its persisting down, so should be plenty of mud about come tomorrow morning); in fact, it’s so bad that FCA956D asked for some heather avoidance (the crew did correct themselves a moment or two later by asking for weather avoidance).

There’s mine which is another MAN movement site; admittedly it’s only got the 1st to 4th April for this year but then it does take me over 3 hours to manipulate the data into some kind of shape.

If you’ve got any Britsh queries from the weekend, I’ll see what I can come up with

CEAD arrived as the EAF3636 at 1053.

The details:
Indian carriers: (a) 56 flights from Delhi and Mumbai to LHR and (b) unlimited flights from India to UK on all other routes
UK carriers: (a) 56 flights per week from LHR to New Delhi and Mumbai – staggered thus: 42 in winter 2005, 49 in summer 2006 and 56 in winter 2006. (b) 14 flights per week connecting UK with Chennai and Bangalore (c) seven flights per week connecting the UK with other international airports.

G-MONR’s almost weekly pattern: MAN-Goa-MAN-Malaga-MAN-Goa-MAN from Thursday to Sunday

G-DAJC departed as the MYT145P to Salzburg this ,morning and should be back as the MYT146.

Forgive me for sounding crude, but aren’t A320’s out of the normal Ryanair culture?

I’m sure that FR either placed a firm order or signed a memorandum of understanding for A320s around 1990 or 1991, with Airbus having an A320 “painted” with FR titles.

I think BA is doing the “sensible” wait-and-see approach as (a) they don’t necessarily want to be ordering aircraft at the moment given the their financial position (b) all the minor problems that a new aircraft brings would probably be ironed out within the first couple of years of operation by other airlines. As to where VS is “based”, look at the at the flights on offer from LGW and compare with those from LHR i.e. leisure based v. business pax based; however, I digress….they are based at MAN 😉

Do the GLA services still operate? I thought it stopped after last winter due low bookings (useless info…it routed via BRS).
