I've been saying all along that this is what would make the most sense. As they try to incorporate BA Connect, the last thing that they need to be doing is opening up more bases just up the road from existing ones. EMA is already well served by bmibaby on our Scottish routes, and flybe would only have cannibalised the market.
Any idea when where the additional 737 will be based for S07? Announcemnet seems to have been pending for quite some time
No announcement has yet been made, and it will all end up on being which airport is most strategically fit and which airports gives WW the best offer. Though as we're only a few months from the start of the summer season, and the new aircraft are due to arrive in May, it should be soon.
Big shame bmi regional despite having announced four extra aircraft for this summer, aren't bringing any of them to EMA. They're going to MAN, ABZ and EDI instead.
