After doing a recent check I noticed that Continental seems to be starting a double-daily service to Manchester England on 757's. This is due to the need for widebody aircraft for China or Lagos/Accra* - pending approval

I play with the dates some other time to see when they finally switch from the current 777's to 757's.

Note: August 9th was just a test date.

MAN will also see the B762 on certain days instead of 2x B752.

Something they can't do at BRU I think due to the high loads in 'BusinessFirst'.

How are CO doing at MAN yield-wise?

CO are not the only US airline flying B752's to MAN by the way, also AA have a seasonal daily MAN-BOS on B752's in the summer months.

Well the if the 757 is perfectly capable of flying across the atlantic, why not use it on those services if you need the bigger planes somewhere else...
