Ten busiest domestic routes

Hi, Some of the destinations such as Isle of Man, Jersey & Guernsey in the Ten busiest domestic routes list are not domestic cities. The above listed are not in the United Kingdom and shouldn't be listed. --JetBlast (talk) 11:28, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Certain routes

Hi. I've noticed that certain routes e.g. all of the BA CityFlyer routes with the exception of Cagliari and Olbia as well as all BMI (not inc regional or London Heathrow) routes. I have checked both British Airways and BMI websites, and they do not appear to exist. I hope there isn't this problem for other airlines. Please may someone either find a reference to this or I will delete these routes on the destinations sections soon. --MJLRGS (talk) 17:45, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Already deleted the two BA CityFlyer routes and added Chartered, but not the BMI routes yet. If someone thinks that they are still being chartered, please speak. --MJLRGS (talk) 12:21, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just removed the supposed BMI route to Vienna which doesn't exist, although someone obviously wishes it did. Thanks, PamukSoundystem (talk) 21:11, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Continental & United

Hey guys. Continental & United apparently become one airline from the night of the 30th November. Shall we change it to United airlines on that day? --MKY661 (talk) 18:24, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source for this?? Snoozlepet (talk) 22:16, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is now confirmed here http://news.yahoo.com/pilots-united-gets-single-operating-certificate-231520061.html. Snoozlepet (talk) 01:06, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Even though Continental has ceased to exist as a separate legal entity, flights between Manchester and Newark are still operating under CO flight numbers. Continental's website is showing availability on CO20/CO100 (EWR-MAN) and CO21/CO101 (MAN-EWR) until December 31, 2012. It would be clearer to readers (especially those not familiar with the minutiae of the UA-CO merger) to continue to designate this as a Continental Airlines service until such time as the rebranding process, including retirement of the relevant CO flight numbers, has been completed.

Runways

The runways are 23R and Left and 05R and Left. Am I right thinking that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.209.11.24 (talk) 15:52, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in the article. 05L/23R and 05R/23L.--Sal73x (talk) 16:23, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hubs

Does anyone have any sources to backup the airlines that use the airport as a hub please? --JetBlast (talk) 21:58, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

People Keep Changing Terminals

Hello. I Have noticed recently that some recent edits have been involving changing the Terminals round so I have decided to add a reference for this so it can be prevented, hopefully. Thanks --MKY661 (talk) 22:30, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Charter Airlines

Airlines such as Onur Air and Small Planet Airlines should be clearly stated that they are charter flights and should state the travel company that the airlines is operating for. When these airlines stop operating for the travel company for instance Thomson it is clear for those people editing on whether to remove the flight from the page.0555 (talk) 19:05, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plane Mad

Do not use the Plane Mad website as a credible source because it can be edited by anybody. Make sure that there are at least two news articles confirming the route, even major websites can make mistakes too.0555 (talk) 13:01, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

X ray body scanners

You can now safely fly from the airport without facing a compulsory dose of x-rays. They had to remove the machines last September, presumably because they are dangerous. 86.23.91.230 (talk) 21:17, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Manchester Airport on Wikivoyage

I'm currently attempting to bring the Manchester Airport page (here) on Wikimedia's new Wikivoyage travel guide up to speed. If any of you feel inclined to have look or have a play, please do! For more information about the differences between WP and WV, you can see a guide here. --Nicholasjf21 (talk) 09:57, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thomson bird strike

Is there any reason that the 2007 Thomson 757 bird strike isn't featured in the "Accidents and Incidents" section? Fsxfaulder (talk) 19:34, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was not really notable for inclusion. MilborneOne (talk) 19:36, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yet TCX314 is included in the article? Fsxfaulder (talk) 00:13, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes missed that thanks, I have removed that as it is not notable either. MilborneOne (talk) 09:50, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New maps and additional tables

Am I the only person to think recent updates to the page have cluttered it and, ultimately, rendered it unreadable? Maybe it's my screen, but not only has the destinations table seemed to have narrowed, but there are additional tables and various maps giving extraneous data, interrupting the flow of the page. Can we not please agree on a return to how the page was prior to these changes? Pigduck (talk) 18:03, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There now appear to be several more adjustments and re-adjustments which have meant that some destinations are being cut off from the list entirely, just for the sake of maps which are neither common to other airport pages or mandatory. I do not wish for this to resort to an edit war. Pigduck (talk) 00:51, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

History section

The first paragraph of the history section is garbled. I went through the last few section revisions and couldn't find the edit that caused the garbling (and it wasn't immediately apparent what has been lost). Unfortunately, I'm short on time right now so don't have time to fix but maybe someone else would be able to dig? ChgoEditor (talk) 04:32, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Future expansion

Ive just spent about 15-20 minutes updating the 'future airports expansion' paragraph, in line with the press releases from Manchester Airport on 2nd June 2015.

This is not only to give the page the latest information, but, the current paragraph is no longer relevent.

For example:

Pier B at T1 is no longer to be 're-alligned', as it will be demolished T2 will no longer have a satellite terminal T3 will be expanded as part of the project.

So, why was the passageway I created deleted considering it was all factual and backed up with the relevent sources?
