I just think it's wasting opportunity ....use the new facility for servies not available from the NW...not try to entice carriers who are already serving the region from the other NW airport and doing a reasonable job at already.

Sorry, Carl. Big business doesn't work like that.
MAN doesn't need Wizz Air or Blue Air to increase it's Eastern European routes when Ryanair can do it more effectively.
I agree EGCC_MAN with your comments. Both Easyjet and Ryanair have lots of duplicated routes from both MAN and LPL, like so Jet2 from LBA. So how have rapidly growing airlines like Wizz not recognised the huge gaps in the Eastern European markets especially from Manchester? Has it been the problems of gate space? Or negotiations of fees etc.., or has there been no contact between the two parties regarding the possibility of services? How expensive is it for airlines to operated into MAN in comparison to other UK airports like LPL, LTN and BHX
A few weeks ago when discussing Northern Powerhouse, MAN supporters were advocating that LPL/LBA/DSA/HUY/NCL should forget about Long Haul and leave it all to MAN. Now, when MAN supporters are trying to get routes already served from LPL etc, that aren't served from there, someone has the "gall" to suggest that MAN should not bother. No, they are only applying the same logic as before - limited market, so one airline but MAN supporters don't like it.
It is an altruistic ideal that airports share routes out between them and it will never happen.
I think the reason that MAN has "perceived gaps" in its routes portfolio is that some people think that MAN should serve everywhere that other northern airports do. Think of this as a possible reason - there are not enough potential passengers to service the route/make a profit. May I suggest that we use the services provided even though it is not from MAN.
