Any idea when we'll be receiving an announcement from Ryanair, and whether this is going to adversely affect any growth from easyJet or bmibaby?

bmibaby

The new routes appear in the booking engine, and they are also on the destination route map on the Ryanair website.

As for growth from the other two low cost airlines, I can't speak for bmibaby, but it shouldn't affect easyJet as they have no plans to expand their operations at EMA.

Apparently Ryanair are taking over the four First Choice Airways check in positions in the tent, with FCA moving back into the main building, makes sense as the First Choice ticket desk is there, plus rumours of that contract going to Menzies, though nothing has yet been confirmed!

Most Freqs on the newly announced routes seem to be 3 or 4 x weekly.

More understandable now why WW announced placing 3 new aircraft at BHX - they obviously knew or guessed what was coming from FR.

Well done FR

The Times of Malta reports "Ryanair wants more Routes" "Among the destinations being considered are: Barcelona Girona Airport, Milan Bergamo Airport, Rome Ciampino Airport, Venice Treviso Airport, Nottingham East Midlands Airport, Liverpool Airport and Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the UK, and Stockholm-Bromma Airport.

Stockholm-Bromma airport? I thought Ryanair only used Vasteras or Skavsta?

Great news from FR...

2007 is gonna be another year of 'month on month' passenger increases.

Nice to see Krakow on the list - Been two years running (EZY from LTN) for the Christmas Market and have to say it beats PRG hands down.

Now deciding where to book first - Granada or Valencia - Decisions, Decisions!!!

Apparently EMA is back on easyJet's radar and S07 may see A319 No.4. I will not hold my breath though.
Has baby announced where their 4th 'new' B733 will go yet? EMA are still in with a shot I thought.
I guess Ryanair will have to expand their check-in desks from next Feb. How long before the 2nd check-in hall becomes 'the Ryanair check-in hall'?!

I agree. I looked at 4th March 07 and you have the morning departures to EGC, CCF, GRO, CIA + SZG but 0925 departures to KRK and VLC so before the aircraft get back to EMA

I won't hold my breath either, I really doubt that EZY are planning any form of expansion from EMA, and a 4th A319 would be nice, but again I wont hold my breath.

easyboy - why do you reckon it is that EZY view EMA as a base worth keeping, but not a base worth expanding?

There are namy reasons for keeping EMA as a base, we have been assured that the base is staying, just no plans to expand. I guess it's better to stay and not expand than pull out.

easyJet have remained profitable at the EMA base without having any need to expand it. All of their routes, despite many being in competition with more than one low-cost airline, are all successful, so short of a rumoured move to DSA which has been doing the rounds since that airport opened, I see no reason for them needing to change their EMA operations. The reason I asked earlier up the page, is it has been suggested that Go's initial five year contract with the airport comes up for renewal in February, which means there might be scope for the airport negotiating more routes or whatever happens in these recontracting things.

Sixth bmibaby aircraft confirmed apparently, though no signs of new routes, perhaps we're waiting for after the BHX announcement. Existing aircraft also to be better utilised apparently, though no idea where to, or whether there's just going to be more frequencies on existing routes. Rumours abound about what's happening with baby's CSAs & dispatchers at the airport, all to be revealed next month apparently.

The airport seem to be getting their act together recently with new routes so perhaps there is more hope for a 4th EZY, esp if the contract really is being renewed. Do you think they have dropped their prices?! Would EZY tell their staff at this point if they planned/were considering expansion easyboy?
Good news about 6th baby aircraft if it is confirmed. So all the 4 additional baby aircraft for 07 are going to the midlands (3 BHX, 1 EMA) if true. Are the current aircraft not well utilised bmibaby.com?

FAO bmibaby - do you have a source for the announcement nxt month about baby csas and dispatchers ?

I know the rumours have been going around for a long time about this but i thought they had died down of recent ?

Im certainly not aware of any announcement!

regards as ever

No easyJet won't tell staff before of plans for expansion until an announcement to the stock market has been made, as any form of expansion is seen as "company sensitive information".

Would be nice to know in advance, but hey.
