Virgin at Manchester

Virgin Atlantic - Are they aggressive enough at Manchester? It’s no secret, the past 2 years have been a tough slog for Manchester Airport. First off, the pandemic. It’s literally been a ‘hard reset’ on global routes and Manchester was not immune from that. It was identified as one of the worst affected airports in Europe as far as passenger numbers go, and its had to fight hard for its passengers given its a predominantly outbound market, a market that has been scarred by restrictions, testing and the threats of hotel quarantine on return from destinations. And outside of that pandemic, the USA and Caribbean have been 2 markets particularly affected in those 2 years. It started with Thomas Cook entering bankruptcy. This instantly wiped San Fransisco, Las Vegas, Cayo Coco, Montego Bay, Antigua, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Varadero and Seattle off the map, no scheduled flights to Cancún or Punta Cana, while leaving New York, Orlando and Los Angeles underserved. Then Manchester was dealt ano

Manchester long haul, is condor the answer

  Manchester Long Haul, is the answer condor? I’ve well documented in the past few weeks about the woes of Manchester’s westbound long haul. It’s hard to decipher exactly what’s gone wrong, but it’s also decidedly tricky to work out how to fix it. Put it this way, Virgin have shown that they are in no position to slip into Thomas Cooks routes, Aer Lingus have showed willing, but the lack of Premium Economy will always be a problem for the Manchester market. United and Delta clearly aren’t interested while American hold slots but remain absent. British Airways is a no go, after all, that’s what IAG have brought in Aer Lingus for, while Nowegian long haul, Norse or whatever they are calling themselves this week have shown no interest in Manchester long haul. So what’s the solution, who is the best fit and where could we go from here? My answer proves slightly controversial given the crossover, slightly complicated due to AOCs but also a slight stroke of genius, and that answer is Condor.

Virgin Atlantic - what’s my issue

As the title explains, in this blog post, I’m going to explain what my issue is with Virgin Atlantic. Now, those of you that follow me on Twitter will know I’ve been somewhat vocal of Virgin Atlantic’s strategy when it comes to Manchester. Some of you may be exasperated with my constant moans, but it does come from a place of concern, as opposed to ‘all out hating’ a brand. what do we know so far? The last 2 years have been trying for Virgin. They have spent that time fighting to survive a pandemic and that did come with costs. And for Manchester, they were the ones to bear a seemingly disproportionate amount of that cost. Routes to Las Vegas, Islamabad and Los Angeles were lost, Barbados went winter seasonal, while routes to Mumbai, Montego Bay and Delhi failed to start. One could also add Boston failed to start if you consider the Virgin/Delta partnership overall. Lastly, the promised clubhouse now looks to be dead in the water (and more on why that’s an issue later) Notwithstanding
