I stand to be corrected but didn't the application go in some years back, but has been stalled ever since?
not much new to be seen on the building site-just the foundations and first level of brickwork, will leave it a few days and post some more photos

Things progressing at a steady pace for the new boarding pier, though this is only one part of a lot of work going on around the airport. There are to be massive works going on in arrivals, extra baggage belt being put in alongside - I've heard - baggage offices for the handling agents. Then there is the planned shopping mall being moved out to where the National Express car park used to be. I've seen it all cordoned off, but no plans for it, ie what it will look like, what will definitely be in there.

I have seen an artists image of the new developments. It is stuck on a wall inside the landside part of the terminal. I don't know if it is still there though. All I know really is that the departure door is coming to the new aviation hobby shop, it will house the queing area and an extended central search, with part of a new shopping area along with arrivals being extended outwards into the old coach park. Could someone correct me if I am wrong please? Thanks

Pretty much. My understanding, and the airport's plans seem to change on a weekly basis, is basically that the entrance where people see off their loved ones before they pass into departures will be next to where the temporary location of the aviation hobby shop is (formerly Ilkeston Co-Op Travel.) This unit will eventually be used as a Securicor office I've been told. After people have passed through this entrance, they will join a queue to have their boarding pass and passport scanned then a further queue for central search. After that, it will be more airside shops and seating. Arrivals will be extended with an additional baggage belt being put where the current Servisair stand and carpark payment machines are, though I haven't heard anything about offices for the handling agents, though I know bmibaby wants a similar facility to the one they used to have, so this might be factored in as part of the extension. The new shopping area is going to be built into the old coach park, which passengers and their meeters-and-greeters will have to walk through before leaving the terminal. They're currently finalising what is going into this shopping mall, though I'd heard it was the information desk, Costa Coffee, Spar, Boots and maybe one or two more.

Re the new arrivals baggage belt, It'll be interesting to see where the 'airside' part of the belt will be, ie where the bags will get loaded onto the belt. Currently the ROI, Channel Islands entrance is there and the 'airside' part of belt 3 (behind the Servisair Desk), and there wouldn't be room for another belt there even if they took out that entrance anyway. At least not enough room so the belt could be used independently, the problem the other belts have at the moment. If one flight is being loaded onto belt 2 say, you need to wait for that flight to finish until they can access belt 1. Same with 3 and 4. They could do with re designing the whole arrivals area from scratch, this would save time people spent in the hall, and therefore reduce the queues!!

All sounds very good-thanks for posting. Has anyone got any up to date pictures of the pier please.
PLUS: I have read on the Bournemouth thread that the FR route to Madrid is doing really well and they are planning to increase to daily. Does anyone know the loads on the EMA flights ? and maybe a possible increase from here too.

The November CAA stats are now out (provisional) and they show 818
for the month!
I trust it started late in November but if you know the number of rotations
you should get a good idea of load factor - I think you can almost certainly write yield off for the first month.
I only checked to compare to the BHX's BA flight (it was down a bit), as FR's French routes last summer really hit flybe's French routes - it was no co-incidence.

Nothing on the DHL front, if anything flights have dropped for DHL although there are a a few extra flights thru EMA for the BA World Charter flights whilst LTN is being worked on I believe.
Heard UPS were moving to DSA?, where are you now??
