As far as I'm aware, the airline is going to have a massive reshuffle over the winter season, I've heard that the NEMA base will either remain with six based aircraft, or more will arrive, being relocated from other bases.

I've also heard this rumour that bmi mainline are to take over all Manchester flying. I think this makes sense, as bmi mainline continue to expand their longhaul flying and other Star Alliance members begin flights to MAN, it does create a hub opportunity at the airport - with connections & Star's "seamless travel opportunities".

According to the company's rumor mill, I've heard that the airline will be taking either more 737-300s (there are no plans to add any -500s or -400s which we've seen at baby in the past) or possibly making a new aircraft order. Although one Fokker 100 will definately be providing back up and/or providing some services out of LBA.
