Sorry, I totally disagree, it's this Taj Mahal mentality of adding expensive luxuries to an airport like airbridges when there are perfectly functioning alternatives which make airlines less enthusiastic about certain airports, particularly if you take in comments made at this year's World Low Cost Airline meeting a few months back. I see where you're coming from, but can think of other priorities for EMA, after all BHX has them and at this moment of time, we're doing very nicely in terms of passenger figures on the increase.

Almost Prof's list of aircraft looks very good but if I could make one correction. The second bmi A320 will be around for longer than the weekend next summer as it will replace the Excel MD-83, Excel are closing their own operations at EMA. On the days when the second bmi 320 isn't around, I believe it's a BHX-based Air Malta machine which is operating flights.
