Heard about FedEx a little while ago that they'd be moving into Royal Mail's old shed, or ServisAir Cargo were moving there and FedEx would move into their place next to TNT. Not sure where the capacity on the Eastern Ramp would be for two MD-11s though...perhaps someone with more knowledge can enlighten me on the capacity there. As far as I'm aware it can take one MD-11 type a/c across three stands - 76A is it?

I don't ever remember the EMAIBZ flights being hugely popular with passengers when baby used to do it, although for a quick weekend break or to go out & enjoy the nightlife, the flights in the late evening after flying had been done on the main routes were really well timed (I think for one season they actually left at about 2200 & returned about 0400.) There are bound to be a couple of people doing the DIY thing, but with only one flight a week, the whole flexible-stay thing that the bmibaby service had goes completely out of the window. Time will tell, and I suppose at least easy are launching a new city ... 
Wednesday is going to be a really exciting day for the airport with the first 738 of FR being based here, and no doubt there will be some pomp & fanfair to launch the new services, even if it is at some ungodly hour! As I continue to predict, this summer will be one of interest to see how easyJet & bmibaby react to the new Ryanair base, whether they maintain their ground, expand or fold. Whilst bmibaby will stay, their position over expanding (the airline has vowed not to re-transfer any French sun routes to EMA, operating them at a safe distance from BHX!) is still not known.

It's truly a shame to lose good information due to embedding an advert link in an otherwise excellent post.
PPRuNe has advertisers whose support enables the site to continue. They prefer not to have their competitors get free advertising.
A specific and ongoing example: discussing new routes is borderline advertising but PPRuNe currently allows it. Posting links that sell tickets on those routes WILL lead to editing at best or outright deletion. In extreme cases the entire thread will be deleted.
It's not that hard folks, if it sells anything don't post a link to it. Name it all you want and rely on our fellow PPRuNers' capabilities to use their favorite search engine if they want to buy a ticket etc..
Game on.

bmibaby - they never were scheduled to leave as late as that, they went that late due to the delays in the afternoon, think the crew would do a ams-ibz or edi-ibz etc..... but the scheduled time of dept was always 1955 or thereabouts!
yes it was a very long night and early morning when i had to wait for the ibz-ema to arrive home if we had any delays!! they were the days for some good overtime!!! ha!
am surprised that they are only doing it once a week, that surely cannot get a good customer base, and warrant the marketing costs (if any)
i remember we used to have alot of djs travel with us with their records that used to weigh alot - and alot of arguements about them too might i add - but U2 will be loving the xb they will get....
my personal opinion is that unless they increase the route to say 3 or 4 times a week then it will not work! i would love to have seen baby do it thurs,fri,sat,sun and mon..... when we did the loads were nearly all full on these select days and pax would leave after work on the fri and say return on the sun or even mon! mix this in with the holidaymakers and clubbers and you would get that a/c full on nearly every thurs,fri,sat,sun and mon!!
just my thoughts.......

EasyJet has wrapped up CGN, Ryanair are beginning SXF in March, and I'm simply not sure there is market for two airlines on these routes as well as services to HAM & STR - their other bases. It would be nice to see Lufthansa take over the old regional route to FRA, but again, it's pie in the sky!

Re FedEx.
No sign of this rumour down here in Essex.
The only flights that will be affected by the restrictions IMO are Flt 2/1 Mem - Stn - Mem, arr around 17.30 dep 20.55 Tues, Wed, Thu, Fri. (Also arr Sat dep Mon). Flt 5 Stn-Ewr arr 21.00 dep 22.00 Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat.
If the Stn runway shuts completlely then some Airbus & ATR Air Contractors flights might also be affected.
Interesting thought though.
