Here’s the third and final edition of my trip to Manchester Airport.
Here are my previous two topics:
Manchester Airport Afternoon Heavy Operations 23/08/26
Manchester Airport Afternoon Heavy Operations 23/08/26 Part 2
These mainly feature the departures on 23L. Enjoy.
Starting things off with another MAX 9 but in the Icelandic livery off to Reykjavik.
Another Turkish NEO off to Istanbul. I can’t wait to fly this in the simulator.
Head to head with an ITA A320 off to Milan Linate.
Bit of a rare sight anywhere really, a UK Government Dassult Falcon from RAF Northolt. Normally this carries the PM or any royalty. This later departed for Poland so I’m not sure who was the VIP in this case.
Jet2 A330 from Faro. I flew on this exact flight only a week earlier.
Another Virgin Atlantic A350-1000 off to Orlando.
The Emirati superjumbo operating the EK18 service back to Dubai. The main attraction here at Manchester Airport. Even non aviation enthusiasts stopped to admire.
Going down a couple of sizes back to Air Algerie’s B737-700 departing back to Algiers.
Air Transat A332 off to Toronto.
To wrap up, we have this Virgin Atlantic A330-300 off to New York JFK.
Thank you for looking at these pictures. Another thanks to my mum for taking me (even she had a good time). I really hope I can come back soon for another spotting session. Unfortunately I don’t live close to the airport so another trip may not be in the near future and with winter fast approaching, I don’t know how to get a good spotting session done.
