C-U in CUSS, I think stands for "common user" which means that more than one carrier can use the machines. The prominent airline who is rumoured to have pulled out from the CUSS programme is bmibaby alongside bmi regional, who had trialled the programme last year, but would rather have control over their own checkin procedure, whilst the Servisair handled charters are all up for the new machines. Apparently once they're established at the airport, the management are keen to introduce some in nearby hotels as well as some possibly in the car parks.

I can confirm bmibaby will be going on the cuss machines again. The manchester group are currently in the process of making the application for bmibaby's system. This is because cuss has been updated since they were last on it.

Quite like the new website. gives more professional feel than the old one.
Heard in the grapevine that early monday morning bring the visit of a 747-400 from people from Lebanon, same as the A310 and DC10 in last few days. Anybody know if a 744 has visited EMA before?

I think we sure could do with an August round-up of news & rumours as the thread is running the risk of drying up.
1) Has anybody heard about the new plans for terminal layout, which include closing the landside shopping mall from as early as November?
2) Any new routes or airlines in the planning? Ryanair seems an obvious choice for the winter with a lot of new arcraft coming, and rumours are abound that easyJet's 4 year contract with the airport is up in March (initially signed by Go) and that both parties are negotiating the future of EZY ops at the airport.

The next phase of our investment programme is underway with a complete revamp of the terminal during the winter period
2. Potentially interesting development from EZY. I guess MAG are negotiating with them for all airports, including rumoured new base at BOH.

The entrance to Departures will apparently now move to just after Caffè Ritazza, meaning that there will now only be the check-in desks, self-service kiosks, tour operator desks, bureau de change, Caffè Ritazza & toilets landside. Ilkeston Co-Op Travel is apparently leaving the airport altogether (great shame considering the history) and the newsagent will apparently be relocating. Boots will now move airside. Not sure what will happen to the Aviation Hobby Shop. Arrivals will remain unchanged, simply when entering the doors by arrivals you will no longer be able to turn left. Apparently no need for an information desk by check-in or any information staff airside, because majority of questions come from those arriving off of flights or people picking pax up - so info desk won't move, neither will Costa Coffee.
That's what I've heard anyway!

Change, Change, Change!
Nothing ever stays the same - which I why airports are interesting places to work.
Anyone for a photo swap session? I think back to the BMA and Orion check-in desks where Boots is now. Remember those huge weighing scales??
Aer Lingus always were tucked right into the cormer by the newsagent. Air Ecosse/Aberdeen Airways/Business Air were the first check-in after the newsagent, then Britannia Airways. All with manually changed signage and slide-in/out digits for the flight numbers.
Remember every landing was announced? Stood on the balcony upstairs, no sooner had the wheels of BMA's DC9 flight from Paris touched the runway when, Bing Bong "British Midland Airways announce the arrive of flight BD257 from Paris CHarles de Gaulle".
The whole landside terminal could hear an ATP taxiing onto stand - though nothing, but nothing is as nostalgic as the whine of the Viscounts!
Aviogenex on Sundays. Spanair DC8's.
oh boy - I'm on a roll now.......somebody stop me
That big plastic Crocadile at the croc-pot restaurant.
Anyone got any pictures of the terminal during this period?

I see from the Ryanair web-site lots of 'new' routes for other airports but nothing for EMA. I'm correct in thinking that means nothing new for the winter then?
As much as I love TAP I was rather hoping/dreaming for a Porto service to avoid that weekly slog to, and excessive car parking costs at, LHR....
(I know EMA is not cheap parking either but I'm only 15 mins away so I can get the better half to run me over! (?))
