EMA needs another LoCo like it needs a hole in the head!

What EMA needs is a full service airline offering the business community in the region, that is supposed to be helping us export our way out of recession get into the export markets and sell!

That requires daily services to hubs such as AMS, FRA, MUC to make seamless connections - not cheap and cheerful, less than daily, point to point operations to obscure destinations to satisfy a bucket-and-spade and VFR market that is probably overserved already.

It's a shame that BMI, being part of Lufthansa haven't been permitted (perhaps don't want) to offer 2 x daily business services to FRA / MUC. If not them, then surely KLM could make a go of a feeder to AMS, as they have done at LPL.
