Not a chance of EI mainline, if EIR do drop it then I think NOC will go to Flybe before Ryanair but FR won't keep both EMA and BHX going.

Here's hoping anyway, more of a regular London passenger myself but on the odd occasion I need to get to Birmingham the route has served me well.

Will the new chairman really make that much of a difference?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s charges (Molde) fly into Knock airport tomorrow in advance of the Rovers game on Wednesday night. Can't say I know any of the players but what are the bets a team photo will be on Knock's twitter page tomorrow!

Record flights for Knock this weekend

Obviously the London match is the reason why the airport is so busy.
Boris even sent the team a good luck tweet.

What would Knock airport give for a draw to get the boys back over next week again!

It's doing a straight turnaround to SNN on Saturdays, the other days mentioned it's not leaving BHX for SNN until after 5pm.

The BB software on which PPRuNe runs does some strange and inexplicable text subsititutions, for example changing every occurrence of the word "tweet" into "PPRuNe".

Anyone know how the routes outside of the UK ones are doing? Here's hoping Knock can hold onto them for next summer too.

NOC-PMI scrapped from Friday.

The recent good weather will have affected and IT fights and scheduled carriers who's profits will see steep falls and may lead to cuts over the next while.

Do people seriously think the Mediterranean style weather we've had is going to last? It's raining heavily in Cork on and off since 0800!

Ryan it won't last but carriers have being forced to slash prices for August, September and October. Booking have being very slow since the weather heated up. Carriers will issue profit warning very soon and EI will comment on it at their Hal yearly results next week.

last summer Fr and Ezy said their profits had being increased because of last minute booking from people trying escape the bad weather here and the uk and this hasn't happened this year.

EI have a 50% sale in the middle of summer just doesn't happen very often at most it's 20% for this travel period,

Shows the danger of becoming over dependent on bucket and spade routes. Looks as if Charters have had their day at all airports and Majorca no longer has the appeal it once had. It was the No1 Choice from the 60' through to the mid 90's but not any longer.

Friday was the last departure with passengers, once they arrive back next week, it won't operate anymore.

Typical high numbers over a bank holiday weekend.Management still hoping for the 670,000 figure by year end. 15,000 pax less than last year, still think that figure is optimistic...Ireland West Airport Knock
