Well my bet for the new base operator there at Doncaster will flyBE - rumoured to have been in discussions with a number of airports in the north of England, even rumours of them pulling out of Birmingham and Newcastle.
Any reaction to this rumour?

"Why didn't East Midlands think of that?"
Well, let me assure you that they did - but they chose a stronger option.
We all know that commercial decissions are not taken quickly or lightly - if Robin Hood would have provided a stronger growth then EMA would have had it first - but unlike the United States, where the desire to name every hub, airfield or grass strip after a "well known" American is the way - here in the UK it seems we only name our Pubs after people, our Grand Stands after footballers, and our cruise ships after Royalty.
Don't know about you, but I am REALLY glad that LHR is not Churchill International, and that STN in not Tony Blairport. - oh no! that might have given Peel Holdings a name to christen MME. Damn it!
Long live city-names!!
