bmibaby to NQY
Just had a look at the airport website and noticed they are showing bmibaby to Newquay with effect from 26th March.
Nothing appears on 'baby's' site, so any comments appreciated.
If this is correct then the airport claims there will be an additional 67 domestic flights per week by next summer.

Slots
Slots - ah, yes.
Anybody remind me when the infamous IATA Slot Conference is being held? Is it this coming weekend? Will we get all of the same wild rumours (what a lovely word) that we had last year?
Let's not get too csarried away this winter.

Appreciate you're posting under full 'rumour mode' but some of this is known already.
Qatar is indeed putting its 5th weekly on from Feb.
Don't know about 4th daily LH - DUS but might make sense after AB pulled off route.
Jet2 One of those new routes is Rome for sure and I think another two have been spammed to me from their autospaming machine - think from memory a couple of 'me too' Med destinations - can't remember of no interest.

I belive one of the two extra 757's will be cut up for parts. so there will be at least 4 opperational between MAN and LBA. 757's look like starting in March 2006 ish.
The rumour is also that there 737 fleat will also increase in numbers to.

Summer '06
Just been spending a few minutes looking at the slots for S06 and it appears - if they are all taken up - that we are in for a bumper season.
If you allow for the absence of BA on certain routes, then it would certainly seem that the majority of lost movements have been well and truely offset by the introduction of new routes/carrier. At the stage do not speculate as to who might be doing what - I have not seen any listings at all - but if you are aware of new routes then please post....check to see that it did not appear on the previous few pages though!!
All we need now is a ground system that can cope with all of the extra movements - hopefully the work in progress at the moment will mean no peak-time WIP as happened this year.

HLX to Hannover from Spring is another route that I've been spammed on - should save a lot of people a lot of money over the BACX alternative.
Used HLX four times already and quite impressed.
Apologies if this one's been mentioned elsewhere - hard to keep track.

Not heard any rumours about us doing RHO, HER, SSH. Wouldnt surprise me though as we do HER and SSH from LGW. There was some debate though as to how they were going to do the SSH flight. i.e whether to give crews a stopover or take an extra crew out to fly back. As it is, crews get a day off before and after. I don't know why there was a fuss as charter crews do the rotation in one day from MAN, which is further.
