Manchester International 2000

We can count over 50 airlines here at Manchester – which is not just a little cousin of London’s Heathrow! Many of the airlines are not seen at LHR. When this was shot, in 2000, MAN was a single runway airport and can be pretty wild, being the busiest British airport outside London. Apart from BA (and its disappearing colorful tails) & British Midland, the big carriers are JMC Air, Air 2000, Britannia and Monarch. Some of the other carriers seen are Manx, Air Malta, Air Scandic, Kenya Airways, Portugalia, TransAer, Air Hong Kong and of course many others. Aircraft range from the smallest, through BAC 111’s to A300’s, A330’s, B777’s and B747’s. On screen graphics identify the aircraft.
