I saw something in the Manchester Evening News that said that the following carriers were looking into Manchester as a second destination or even third destination in the United Kingdom
United Airlines (Los Angeles)
Northwest Airlines (Detroit)
Air India (India?)
Kenya Airways (Paris then Nairobi)
Chinese carriers to Beijing and Shanghai
Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong)
Qantas (Australia?) Sydney presumably
South African Airways (Johanesburg)
Saudi Arabian (Saudi Arabia?)
Thai International (Bangkok)
Does anyone have news on any of these or am i just dreaming that one of these might happen. Most were extensions of existing flights such as the one SQ used to operate to Manchester on Tuesdays and Thursdays with a 744 via Zurich

Saudi Arabian has announced that from June 22nd it will serve Manchester 2x weekly on Monday and Fridays to Jeddah via Geneva using B777-200 equipment. Great news for this airport which has also had a blow in the loss of Norwegian Air Shuttle to Bergen from April 13th and the loss of Air Baltic to Riga. Both of those were 2x weekly
Lets hope some more routes are announced at my local!

This has been know for a few weeks but there are to be two new cargo airlines Jett8 Cargo and Air Great Wall both of which are Singapore Airlines related cargo airlines. There is also news that Air Blue of Pakistan will start flights via turkey which should be nice If anyone wants to know more checkout www.ringwayreports.co.uk under updates |

Great Wall has started services to Manchester, but still no news about Jett8 Cargo which apparently is not related in anyway to Singapore Airlines (apologise for that mistake). Has anyone heard of any other new carriers due to start to Manchester (preferably long haul).

The runways at Manchester were re-designated today. Here is the changes
24L becomes 23L, 24R becomes 23R, 06R becomes 05R and 06L becomes 05L
Now that is going to take ages for me to remember
