Let me see - some junior school maths required here..

45,000 flights leaving EMA each year - that means 45,000 arriving too. So thats 90,000 per year.

That results, supposing my back-of-fag-packet calculation is correct (which it may well not be!!) a little short of 250 extra movements PER DAY!!! OK, at some stage in the distant future this sort of increase MAY be a possibility - but I think we'll be using something other then Jet A1 to fuel the aircraft by then!

One day local newspapers may once again start employing reporters interested in reporting FACTS not total c**p peddled by the NIMBYs from East Leicestershire who have been voiciferously oposing the changes in EMA airspace and routings since the day it was proposed.
