Finally after a few weeks of planning and teasing the public, 1 Air had announced the opening of a new hub at Manchester International airport which will allow for the airline to expand on the long haul market with larger aircraft such as there new 767 which has already been placed on a daily MAN-JFK schedule. This move lead the citizens of Bristol to question if the airline was considering leaving Bristol as whole; the airlines VCEO was quick to respond via there facebook page saying ” Bristol will remain the center of operation for our airline but due to runway problems there, an increase number of flights to Manchester will be needed to allow for a larger amount of passengers to fly to the city” It was also noted that the airline are looking at options for new domestic services from Manchester and are also considering starting a freight operation from the airport.
