was talk that the Orlando would go twice weekly and the others to a weekly op-be great if so-can't see Thomson doing anything as after years of EMA trying to get them to go long haul they are using Doncaster instead

First Choice website still shows Orlando, Cancun and the Dom. Republic
Is there not any YYZ service just now? If I remember rightly, a few years back Canada 3000 operated YYZ-EMA-NCL-YYZ for 1 season I think. Surprised nobody else has picked it up, Zoom or Air Transat perhaps?

As discussed on here previously easyJet seem to have rescheduled many flights from NEMA for this winter:
Cologne moves to a 18:55 departure.
Geneva is now operated by a NEMA based aircraft, departing at 13:40.
Malaga moves to a 15:20 departure (slighter earlier).
The schedule seems to need 3 aircraft to operate but the third aircraft only makes 2 return trips in a day (ALC + AGP).
There also seems to be lack of availabilty on some routes...if you look in calender view for some months, many of the routes are not daily.
Only had a quick look now so sorry if I get anything wrong.

Having a quick look at the winter schedules, it appears that the following 'spare' slots will be avaliable:
Monday - 1 x afternoon slot
Tuesday - 2 x morning slots PLUS 1 x afternoon slot
Wednesday - 1 x afternoon slot
Thursday - 2 x morning slots
Friday - NONE
Saturday - 1 x evening slot ( given that the inbound a/c arrives from VCE at 1900 hrs. )
Sunday - NONE
Hope this makes sense ?
BUD, KRK, MAD here we come ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Well the flights seem to be same as the summer schedule,well some flights seem to go a little early or arrive 5 or 10 mins or so. So the Geneva crew we wave goodbye to,well they will pop there heads up on a sat nite,as of the 2 flights that operate that
operate that day.
So i wonder when the new routes will be announced ? Come on Sexylady what is the latest today ?
Would be great to have a 2xdaily to Amsterdam,so you can have day trips there or even Berlin.
Lets keep our fingers crossed....

Where are these spare slots?
If you look at some months, the routes seem to be randomly missing some days but in other months a full daily service is back. As far as I can see March is a normal month, with all routes operating daily.
I hope we get some new routes but on this timetable I don't think it necessarily indicates any on the way.

BRS and NCL (and possibly others, I haven't checked) also have days missing on some routes that in previous winters ran daily. Some of these days seem to be missing from December to early February, then restored as with EMA.
It maybe that this is a cost-cutting exercise by easyJet, preferring to keep the a/c on the ground in the traditionally poor time of the year for loads in the UK aviation industry, rather than send them out lightly loaded on the days of the week that experience has presumably told them are the worst days for business on a particular route.

Does anyone know if easyJet are playing around with the current EMA schedules again (as well as cancelling some EDI services)? I've been looking at going to Cologne in July but there doesn't seem to be any flights on Tuesdays

I see Air Scandic are using a variety of different aircraft on their flights out of East Mids! I thought originally, a Finnair MD83 was to be based to operate these?
We've had Viking MD83s, Blue Line MD83, Aero Flight A320, Blue Wings A320 & Air Slovakia B757 recently on the Scandic flights

Hi Guys
I know EZY are cancelling a lot of flights in there winter schedule, well not all the flights are running daily, and we all know the EDI is going soon, but today on EMA website, it is now saying the Cologne is cancelled ? Anyone know why ?
Today there is no EDI, not this morning or this evening.
On another note, Thomas cook at EMA is crewed at the moment by BHX crew, like it has done for the last few years, but now they are recruiting for there own EMA based crew from 2006, will this mean they mayu have a base here over the winter of 2006/ 07 ? Does anyone know ?

Plus...there is no flight to Rome today with EZY!
Anyone at easy prepared to let us know what is happening?
Almost Prof: Are easy aircraft parking up all day or do they pop off somewhere empty instead of operating the EDI CGN and CIA?

Checking the easyJet website July looks like this:-
ALC - Normal
CGN - No flights on TUES
EDI - No flights on TUES & WEDS
all other destinations - Normal
Come on easy guys & girls - we are all smelling something fishy - what do you know??
ALMOST PROF: I agree it does look strange, but I can't figure why a carrier would run a base down rather than just pulling the plug??
ANOTHER THING
Is it just me, or this summer does NEMA as a company seem to have developed a certain inertia (sp?), there seems to be a general acceptance of monotony and dullness. Take a look at nottinghamema.com news section and the company seem to be more interested in nature and nurturing local residents than it does in operating a vibrant passenger air terminal.
Is the a connection between the general mood and the long time change over of MD?
If there is a obvious agenda for the managment to be working on it should be:-
1. Court Ryanair
2. Court easyJet
3. Flirt, Court, Sell yourself unashamedly to a hub-major. (I'd head straigh to Schipol and plead with KLM to restart their AMS service)
4. Shout from the roof tops about the new terminal building
5. Take bmi/regional/baby out for dinner and lay your cards on the table. "Look sweatheart, this isn't working anymore is it?! I have given you my undivided attention for so many years and just do not feel you are committed to this relationship anymore. I hate to sound unloving, but either I need to see you putting as much into this as I am, or it is all off, we go our separate ways - your choice - I don't care that Daddy's big house is in the next village, either you show me that I am important to you, or be honest and just move in with your "lover" down at BHX!"
