Thanks for the info Mike16, 5 aircraft would be good although its still a way off from the likes of NCL and BRS

But there is no bmibaby and Ryanair (apart from the DUB) at BRS, so you expect more easyJet a/c there when it is the lone low cost operation (excluding the tiny Flybe schedule that uses a/c based elsewhere).

Let's hope that the story of 5 based aircraft is true.
Any ideas Mike of what new routes are favourite?
I can see NCE, BFS, AMS, CDG/ORY, SXF, KRK, BUD and VLC all doing well at NEMA.
The SXF is surely a MUST, as there is no Berlin service from anywhere in the Midlands.

I really do hope we get a EMA-SXF service, as you say nema/robin hood with no competition in the midlands at present it would be a good route to start. Berlin is a great city and I for one would use the route!
Other possibilities (in my opinion):
NCE
BUD
MAD
and the return of BCN?

I don't think regional being on a route would stop easyJet somehow, if anything it might encourage them!!
I don't think we will see any new domestic routes or high freq's Euro routes (e.g. AMS/CDG) with only 1 new aircraft this year thou.

No harm in a little "friendly" competition with WW on BFS & AMS.
These are good little earners for EZY at LTN and could be for them at NEMA.
As for CDG/NCE - as you say they are now BMI regional routes -
Emb145 service's - Need I say more!! and NCE only 4 times a week !!
EZY would turn these routes around and offer "real" choice.
At the end of the day, let's face it WW have done nothing but play around with routes/schedules since the start - and not only at NEMA either!! WW was "created" at the drop of a hat because of GO's arrival at NEMA. Nothing more, nothing less!!
It's time now for the professionals to show what can be achieved.

Easyjet....the professionals? I find your arrogance quite staggering !
Take off your "orange" tinted glasses.
Baby, bmi,bmir, British Midland.....whatever...have all been around at East Mids since the place was built, but I'd never assume that we had the right to pick and choose our routes
as the mood fits.
Easy have also "played around" with the schedules ex- EMA for the same reasons baby have..Money....if it ain't making the dosh, drop it.
Isn't that why we're all here?
Unbelievable !

I don't think you can say easyJet have played around with their schedules from NEMA to the same degree as baby. As far as I aware (and I stand to be corrected) easyJet have only dropped Glasgow/Barcelona and introduced Rome/Cologne.

Exactly Phil_2405 - GLA & BCN are the ONLY routes that have been dropped by EZY at NEMA, and THEN they were replaced with CGN & CIA. Compare this to WW and well, come to your own conclusions !!
As for me being "Arrogant" - I apologise if that's how my post reads to some people, but I am only voicing my opinion, something that I thought was ok to do !
"Orange tinted glasses" ? Maybe I have, but rest assured Little Blue, I have used the services of both WW & EZY at NEMA, both airlines offering a great in-flight service, BUT still feel that EZY has "the edge". NEMA is a great airport and I just think it is about time that we had the choice of services we deserve!

The BA cargo-ie Stansted based B747's-moving to NEMA is a rumour that surfaces on a regular basis-but can not get any of my contacts to confirm/deny, though you have to admit it would make sense in many respects, the aircraft are not infrequent visitors and there is room-just- on the western cargo to accomodate a couple more widebodys-unless the rumour of more DLH MD11's comes true!

Most airports have periods of expansion and then stand still for some time before expansion kicks in again.
This has happened at BHX lat year as an example.
If you think back before Baby and Go/Easy, only a few years, EMA was a passenger backwater with a few BD flights and a charter operation. Airlines like KLM and Lingus started and withdrew
Passenger numbers then increased greatly and so did the choice of fkights.
EMA has lots of competition around, from BHX, COV, LTN , LBA and even MAN. Add to this Doncaster and perhaps it is evident why pax numbers have not increased as some may have wished in the last couple of years.
EMA was early into the lo cost market and other airports have now caught up. It is no longer a requirement to drive from Leeds or birmingham to obtain large savings on a amily of 4 to Malaga.
In respect of business travel EMA has never faired that well and circumstances have not changed.
Freight is still boyant and passenger services will increase in time.

baby will be concentrating the majority of their flying in the Midlands over the next year at BHX. We may see some shifting of routes, but there will be no expansion of WW from EMA, if anything we will see a reduction in services as more based aircraft & routes go to BHX.
However, this is unlikely to mean that EMA will be left out in the cold, because rumours are resurfacing about more routes going back to regional over the next twelve months. bmi know you can't operate two similar products in the same market with different brands, and BRU/CDG have been doing very well under regional since the transition, and AMS & the Scottish routes could follow. It makes sense for bmi to have a presence here, as it always seems that the airport authority want to woo LH or LX to have a major hub operator here. Perhaps we might see that ...

Almost Prof.
What size operation do BA Cargo have?
All seems to have gone pretty quiet on the new terminal building. Very careful scanningo f the ICC pages on the website reveal that it is something talked about, but hardly reported on.
Any news? You're our eyes in the skies.
PS. AP - have you spied the new Tower at LHR? Do controllers ever suffer from "Tower Envy"?

not sure exactly how big-isn't it the GSS B747/400 operation-two or three aircraft I think-perhaps a freightdog could fill us in!
terminal is still in planning stages I believe-waiting for concrete evidence of growth before commiting the money, though by all accounts the IDL expansion and associated changes have gone down well-I've not managed to drag myself away from the tube long enough to see it
and no there is no envy-we at least have a proper approach unit at the base of ours!

However, there are various rumours floating around that GSS are moving to Manston, then theres the East Mids one, also, I think Bournemouth may have been mentioned.

I believe the new terminal building will be built when the airport reaches a set number of pax. They are going to try to time the opening of the new building as the existing terminal reaches capacity

Hi Folks
Looks like we at Easyjet are losing our Edinburgh, think we are having a new route, lets hope so ! this is an Email we recieved today-
You may all be aware now of the cancellation of some of these services from 7th June 05. To summarise this is what is happening;
1. Monday evening
2. Both flights on Tuesday & Wednesday
3. Friday morning
This is until 29th July. August will remain to operate to the schedule. September is under consideration and I'll update when this is confirmed via ********* The reasons for this are operational. You will see the a/c sitting here and I know that scheduling are looking to replace the route with another destination.
Edi has been under consideration for some time within the scheduling team, although the decision to make this change was very late. Their focus was really on notifying passengers. This part of it was achieved and those passengers who customer services were unable to contact travelled on BmiBaby with no recourse to easyJet.
It has been recognised in scheduling this could have been communicated much better - I don't envisage this to occur again. I'll keep you posted.
******
Well i wonder if EDI is proving to much as a base to run ? may be EDI will close now ? and jusy have 1 super base in Scotland,makes sense really.
