Well RYR do very well out of EMA, always seem to have good load factors and whenever they announce new routes/increase of routes there never seems to be any 'uptake time', they always seem to be popular from the outset.

Pax numbers are on the up and the airport now has more routes and seats than before WW left with more routes to come from a number of operators; not least of which is RYR who continue to support the airport with based aircraft, W sector aircraft and base training.


Its very nice to see the investment in EMA what with the terminal investment (including an increase in both retail and catering from both 'own brand' [Soho, Three Shires, Biza etc] and 'high street' companies [of which I'm hearing some very interesting companies are interested in space at EMA]), new car parks, new routes, expansion on existing routes and companies like TOM supporting the airport with the decision to operate the 787 from EMA or even the F1 movement and international aid flights etc.

MAG clearly believes the airport is worth investment and airline operators seem to agree - Just look how quickly MON and BE jumped into EMA when WW closed down with LS, RYR, BE and TOM continuing this 'take-up' of the lost capacity with their expansions this summer onwards.
