Is it.....? I think the EU jet fiasco has given it the thumbs down if pax numbers were anything to go by.

Is Radar Back online?

If they are expanding the echo apron surely this means several parties are interested and Infratil are having to creat more space?

[blazing_air]

Bravo is closed for surface repairs (approx 5 weeks)
Radar should be back online within a couple of weeks
It is my understanding that they are in serious talks with more freight operators, which is why more surface area on the echo apron is needed.
Don't ask me for names, cos i can't give them.

Please don't start the EUJet debate again, weve had it to death on this thread.

[Hangar_9]

Dont talk anymore about EUJET. I watched as a guest at how bad this topic became when it was in full swing, some very mixed views, some totally pessimistic, some very optimistic.

The one thing that isnt talked about is freight movements. The one thing manstn currently has and we ignore it.

An old question but......
> how many flights a week were MK operating before calling it quits in 2004?

P.S - The BMED Deal fell through becasue the buyers have no interest in cargo flights from MSE.

blaze-

re- your comments toGW76

The mods have asked us to steer clear of postings carrying "implied ownership" of the thread.

Might be wise to edit, then I'll delete this posting.

[QUOTE=deedave;3076195]Seems a shame.

As you know, EUjet were operating F100's - capacity 108- at MSE.

Were EGSY unable to take aircraft of this capacity?

basically yes, largest aircraft type would be a ATR/F50 (50pax).
Its about 200M shorter then lydd.

I think this is one thing everybody agrees on though.
Implied ownershi doesnt play apart if everybody is sick and tired of the old EUJET debate.

[deedave]

Sure, I'm sick of EUjet, but I don't know about anybody else.

What do you think mods?

[MDIS]

EUjet

If we all agree that that part of the history should be ignored unless absolutely necessary for reference purposes only then no one can be accused of "implied ownership" or "steering" the thread in any one direction

If we can all agree to this the mods will I hope be happy.

Far too many rows have erupted over the individual topic.

Would somebody be able to list exactly what Pax Flights will be departng MSE in 2007 (date etc)
Would be very helpful?

Thie evening, we seem to be bringing our widely differing views to this forum considerately, politely, and intelligently.
We also appear to have self-moderated ourselves through a point of order.

I think the removal of certain contributors has helped.

At the risk of being creepy, do I speak for all of us when I say three cheers for the mods?

[blazing_air]

Sorry - didn't mean for anyone to take offense or take ownership of anything, just didnt the thread going back to where it was.
(humbly bowing down to the mods)

Yes, Hangar 9, but when they change identity, they also appear to change their behaviour, and I'm sure this will suffice.

I'm sure any re-offending will result in another ban.

Personally, I am always deedave (I wanted to be dave dee but I messed up the log in)

There are 140,000 members on here take your pick lol.

EGMH,
Do you know what A/C will be flying the kent escapes programme?

[MDIS]

So is it dozy, beaky mick and titch that are missing?? (Showing my age!!)

Saw a couple of BAA Gatwick vehicles leaving the airport today full of suits and Hi vis jackets.

Also some sort of filming going on at check in.

Don't know what either was about. Anyone any ideas.

MDIS

[Hangar_9]

Maybe BAA going to take over the airfield

Kent Escapes

LTE flew the route last year.

Astraus were talked about for this year which is now not happening.

I think LTE are still in the frame but no one seems to know for definite.

[EGMH]

Astraeus B-737 on the Kent Escapes program.
AEU 543/544 Thr
AEU 577/578 Fri
