Leicester Mercury - Friday 4th MArch 2005
" Up to 45,000 extra planes are to fly out of Nottingham East Midlands Airport each year.
The news comes just days after the airport was told it could introduce new flight paths over Leicestershire.
At the time of that announcement, the airport said the new airspace would not be "a licence to grow".
However, its environment manager Neil Robinson has since told the Leicester Mercury it is planning to increase flights by as much as 50 per cent, although he would not be drawn on when this would happen.
He said: "We would be looking to grow by 50 per cent.
"Like any other business, we hope that it continues to be successful and grows."
More than likely relates to Cargo flights - BUT could we see an expansion on the EZY and FR front ?
Let's hope so, after all WW are going nowhere at EMA with all their efforts seeming to be at BHX.
