I see from the inSAEN protesters website their legal eagles are considering the merits of taking thier objections to the European courts. As the new road is all but finished does anyone know if the work to extend the runway has actually stated yet?

extension enabling works have started, diggers in the vicinity of the extension area.
They still have to do some prep work before they can actually start the extension itself I believe.

The company will link Münster-Osnabrück with Zürich and Poznan from 27 March 2011 with a 48-seat ATR42. The company originally planned to launch scheduled services between Bremen City Airport, Berlin Tegel and Cologne last summer, using a single Beech 1900D turboprop. In December 2010, the company also announced the intended acquisition of a 50-seat Fokker 50

This airport extension is bitter-sweet for me, my Grandfather was a Director of Channel Airways and they fought during the '60s/early '70s to extend the runway so they could operate the Tridents & Comets from Southend, but failed so had to open a costly new base at Stansted, which meant they were over-stretched when the oil Crisis hit in '73 and contributed their downfall.
I will have to fly-in there when it is all finished to see what remains of the old Channel Hangars

Jetisfaction started scheduled services from Munster/Osnabruck to Zurich and Poznan last year with B1900s leased on an ACMI basis, but these were suspended after a short time. Both these routes are due to recommence on 5 September 2011 using Saab 340's supplied by Skytaxi of Poland on an ACMI basis, with the FMO-SEN route being added from 31 October.
The FMO-SEN-FMO route is bookable as a once-daily service, although departure times vary somewhat, departing 10:15 FMO on M W F, 06:25 Tu Sa and 18:45 Th Su. Presumably this is to fit in with the other route commitments. There's a 30 minute turnround scheduled at SEN each day and return fares start at 97.98 Euros inclusive. I assume the 31 October start date is to coincide with the closure of the Air Berlin FMO-STN service.
It's rather strange that although seats are bookable on Jetisfaction's website, there is no announcement there of this new route.

There is now, it seems, on their news page. They just haven't got round to updating their home page, route map, etc. (but they apparently fly to Wroclaw as well as Poznan, and don't have that on the route map either).
It was probably just a matter of Jetisfaction being a bit keen to get the route on sale and perhaps there are a few details to be finalised still with SEN.
The 97.98 Euros inclusive return fares on offer also include 25 kg hold baggage - very good value I'd say.

If I am not mistaken, Jetisfaction are no airline, they are just a ticket seller contracting other airlines to operate their flights (Manx2.com style).
They are (or at least were) part of this "JOIN Regional Airlines" concept which pretty much focuses on SEN.

Seems To be Jetisfaction.com branded in for maintenance on August 18th of this year. 1900-D as previously mentioned by someone.
