A genuinely pleasant surprise that EMA is in there among the bunch of destinations for launching the MAD base. Again a deserved WELL DONE to whoever the team are at EMA who have obviously developed a good relationship with FR. 
Will the route be launched with a MAD based aircraft - or could it be launhed with the timings of the temporarily suspended FNI route?

Phil 2405 - you are obviously a very well informed guy!! You regularly come up trumps with information......tell us.......are you sleeping with a member of FR's cabin crew?

Haha....no afraid not, my partner doesn't even work in aviation...it's good to get a break sometimes!!
Great news for EMA (again) but I'm sure the route could support a daily operation. The route is operated by a MAD based airframe. I agree with you egnxema, the team at EMA seem to be on the up again and they should be congragulated for that BA to TFS starts later this month and EMA are still in the running for another based baby aircraft apparently.Let's hope the terminal can cope!

The news just gets better!!
10 new routes announced last week and now MAD - 28 Routes in total (What a difference a year - or so - makes)
This should be a good route, def worth a daily service. If I cast my mind back to when WW first started, did they not announce that they would 'soon' start services to MAD. But then again WW as well as EZY have just seemed to stagnate at EMA.

I too was thinking about whether the terminal will be able to cope - Do you think this will accelerate the building of the new terminal?

Yea I think WW did plan to operate EMA-MAD but it never materalised 
I've just noticed on the NEMA website that Sept 06 saw a 13% increase in pax figs compared to Sept 05, making 6 consecutive months of growth!

Not sure if your all aware or not but you better make that 12 new routes in a week for you lot up there, checking the First Choice website EMA-VRA (Varadero, Cuba) now available with FCA from next summer, i'm pretty sure it wasn't there before, correct me if i'm wrong, Split load with BRS, O/B direct I/B via BRS
Sorry if it has been mentioned before
