Growth in 2011?
In an interview with the Leicester Mercury, featured in yesterday's business section, Crawford Rix indicates the focus in 2011 will be on growth, stating "we will be looking to take on a few more aircraft at East Midlands and other airports" and he also suggests the airline is preparing to announce a series of new routes from EMA.
He goes on to mention the "positive result" of the booking tie-up with Germanwings, hinting "that it could mean an expansion of services in Germany"
The comments suggest the possibility of a closer tie-up with Germanwings with the German destinations resulting from the introduction of a Cologne service from EMA similar to that from MAN.
It all sounds very positive, but time will tell what, if any of the above materialises.
