These new routes from BHX may actually benefit the EMA base, because if bmibaby manages to strike a good deal with the new airports or the routes seem to sell well, there appears to be no reason why a similar service could operate from EMA.
Currently there are plans for a sixth 737-300 for EMA some time in 2007, and also within the bmi group there are plans for the second charter A320 to spend more of the week based at EMA to take over a portion of the flying which this summer has been with UKJET.
Rumours have been circulating around the airport of a major shake up within bmi group for our ground handling needs, hopefully it won't be too negative news for our ground team at EMA.
