EAST MIDLANDS - 2

[egnxema]

With FR's 2 Poland routes performing so well from EMA, should the rumours of 3 new based aircraft come to fruition there must be a whole host of potentially successful routes, more Spain, as suggested, Italy would have an outbound market, but inbound, with Lincs and eastern England being big emplyment areas for eastern europeans any number of current Ryanair destinations in the east of europe would be potentially strong EMA contenders. I would be surprised if PIK featured in the EMA schedule though.

[big.al]

Pure speculation but perhaps Ryanair will consider EMA-AGP. They will have to compete with Easy and Baby but with such a big year-round market to Malaga, since when has competition scared them off? They already serve Malaga from DUB so I assume that the landing fees at AGP are not prohibitive to their operating model...

Thoughts?

[phil_2405]

I don't think Ryanair will launch EMA-PIK or EMA-AGP personally. I think we will see more Spanish routes and possible EMA-KRK. I would like to see more German routes as well, SXF seems to be perfoming well.

[egnxema]

I agree with you Phil - FR don;t do AGP from any UK airport. I guess the yields on the DUB CRL and SNN departures must be suitably high enough to AGP.

EMA - MRS would be good as WW stopped NCE

Oh dear - trhis is starting to sound like a spotter's wish list - I'll stop.

This is copied from the LTN thread - but gives good reason for everyone at EMA to feel proud for the work they are doing this summer.

Wednesday again - man the weeks fly by!

The airport has announced more ground transportation in the form of a "dial-a-ride" for the Coalville area. Keeping on improving the Public Transport links is a very positive move.

Has anyone seen/heard many details of the plans for the terminal reshuffle during the coming winter season? It seems that the majority of the terminal building will be airside if the entrance to Departures is moved to the ICE-Ilkeston Coop area.

How have Security queues been during the past week?

GNB is on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Does GNB come at the expense of a reduced frequency to Berlin? How bad though

[Charlie Roy]

Limoges appears in the booking engine twice weekly in November, but increases to trice weekly from 7th December. Weird

Charlie Roy - you seem to be the man with the know-how for these schedules, are there many/any gaps for any other routes?

[egnxema]

I have justhad an amateurish go at it and....

Tuesdays

Aircraft # 1 EMA-Lodz-EMA-Limoges-EMA-Murcia-EMA
Aircraft # 2 EMA-Nimes-EMA-Nantes-EMA-Derry-EMA-Berlin-EMA

but

Mondays

Aircraft # 1 EMA-SZG-EMA-Wroclaw-EMA-Murcia-EMA
Aircraft # 2 EMA-???-EMA-???-EMA-Derry-EMA-Berlin-EMA

So maybe more to come.

I take it DUB CIA SNN GRO are all operated by respectively based aircraft.

The EMA aircraft usage for mid-December until the end of January only shows one inexplicable gap on Monday mornings with aircraft two. This is possibly a simple oversight that will be rectified soon. Or it could be a gap to operate once a week flights to Morocco or somewhere equally far flung! (Don't go holding your breath though)...

Aircraft One
1-3-5-7 Salzburg, Wroclaw, Murcia
-2-4-6- Lodz, Limoges, Murcia

Aircraft Two
1------ *Nothing all morning* Derry, Berlin
-2-4--- Nimes, Nantes, Derry, Berlin
--3---- Carcassonne, Dinard, Derry, Grenoble
----5-7 Carcassonne, Dinard, Derry, Berlin
-----6- Nimes, Nantes, Derry, Grenoble

Strange indeed that the EMA aircraft are for the most part presently unscheduled after the end of January. Maybe EMA could take delivery of the infamous 3rd FR aircraft then, and use that moment to revise all current schedules

Fingers crossed for you guys anyway

BBC East Midlands teletext is reporting that EMA now offers webtrack whereby one can track flights in and out of EMA.
However I have not been able to find out any info from the airports web site.

This may have helped the lady living close to leicester whose car was damaged by ice falling from an aircraft.

Now 8-30 thursday and webtrack is up and running, worth checking out.

p.s. Just loved the idea that someone has kept the ice in their freezer so that it can be proved where it came from. I thought that one person's c--p was just like another

BTW is this forum really moderated by EMA's publicity manager?

[Charlie Roy]

flyukia

I have seen the web site of an upstarting airline called "Fly UK International" or flyukia and they have EMA in their destinations list. What exact Asian routes are they considering from EMA?

[soups]

Charlie Roy

Amritsar will be on the list

What you all up to?

[Lite]

Still here ... just! Now been confirmed that Servisair have the BA Connect contract from the end of October, though have no idea how much competition was put up by Menzies especially as everything is pointing to the fact that they've perhaps expanded at too fast a pace with quality waining just a bit, actually making Servisair look professional! Have to wait for another month to find out about how many staff Servisair are keeping, and how big Ryanair are going to look.

[Flyboy543]

Have herd it mentioned that First Choice may be moving to Menzies from first of November, but havn't had it confirmed. Also have herd from same sources that they may change the A321 to a B757 next season?

Can anyone confirm or deny?

I saw the CUSS machines in operation the other day, but not the day after, then working again the day after! are they just testing the system or is it up and running now? Only noticed Thomsonfly on the screens and only one of their flights, not the other one which was checking in as normal. Any news?
