Yes, I was about to get to Kuwait Airways but didn't have time!Another USA and Asia route is Kuwait Airways.
It's ever more apparent that they are likely to serve KWI-MAN-IAD-MAN-KWI as early as this year.

I agree, and this was why I was sceptical about these transit flights.Is something changing allowing KU to fly between points other than those starting or ending in Kuwait? The whole Israel thing meant they had to give up their long standing 5th freedoms LHR-JFK. MAN-USA is equally impossible currently.
Yes, it seems these rumours are the same ones that have been going on for a year. Hopefully, Hainan's CAN application can come to something.Unless you want a rehash of old rumours / interested airlines I can't think of any.
- Hainan want Shanghai
- Thai - who knows where they are.
- Air Asia X have again shelved European plans.
- JAL seem to have continually been in discussions about adding capacity to the UK, but have managed to find slots in a "full" LHR.
- Malaysian are looking to expand, but one would think MAN is not in the current thinking.
- Vistara are the most likely airline to start Indian services to MAN.
- Scoot may be close behind Vistara.
- TCX have huge plans and are focused on Manchester.
- Perhaps we could see another far eastern carrier - as yet not mentioned on this board.
Very interesting. To the west, east or both?I'm aware of at least 6 long haul routes that are in the advanced talks to nearly announced stages.
It really is impressive. Perhaps airlines like Air China, Thai can bulk up the evening traffic - maybe even Cathay Pacific, should their Hong Kong route continue as it is? There's also Lahore (PK 772) in the evening.I always under appriciate just how impressive the long haul network is from Manchester. Just look at the Saturday arrivals:

There are then departures to places like Los Angeles and Las Vegas later in the day, as well as destinations like Riyadh, Santa Clara and Vancouver not listed, makes it quite impressive really. Could do with some bulk in he afternoon now, only 8 arrivals after midday.
