Manchester loses Transatlantic

DELTA is to drop its daily Manchester – New York JFK service at the end of the year which leaves the the field to Continental and their seven days per week services to Newark, New Jersy, in many ways an easier journey into Manhatten than JFK.  Pakistan International goes twice weekly to Kennedy.  Delta will continue with its daily Atlanta operation, that airport the largest US hub for connecting flights.  The airline also flies to Atlanta from both Gatwick and Heathrow, and from LHR also offers Detroit, JFK and Minneapolis.  The decision by Delta is a further blow to Manchester which earlier this year lost its bmi transatlantic operations. www.delta.com
