Similar to Luton Really Ryanair and Thomsonfly both go to Marrakesh and those flights are doing fine: therefore I think that
FR 2x Weekly = East Midlands - Marrakesh
FR 2x Weekly = East Midlands - Malta
FR 2x Weekly = East Midlands - Seville
FR 2x Weekly = East Midlands - Fuerterventura
WW Daily = East Midlands - Dusseldorf
WW Daily = East Midlands - Hamburg
WW 2x Weekly = East Midlands - Mahon
I mean, the chances are very slim, but I believe from EMA long haul is becoming worse and worse, no Puerto Plata flight from 09, however, I believe that a weekly Toronto flight would defentally work, with a operator like Air Transat for example and maybe a New York flight, 2-4 times a week.
