The problem with a 3rd daily from MAN, is that it wouldn't fit in too well with connections - which is what the majority of passengers do.

A 3rd daily schedule doesn't exactly fit in with the major banks aimed at Europe but there's still some. Some asian stuff gets in at the midnight banks allowing connections to the red eye to Europe, & the return hitches up with the early evening India bank. Other than that it should be O&D. Perhaps it'll be limited to an A330 or something if it ever happens. What about A380s at MAN? Now there's a thought!
