I think they will find another route to put there, shuffle the timetable around a bit, I mean, if it was me I would have made it go to Shannon as its the same flight times roughly and then the Shannon aircraft can be used else where, Also regarding the ORK flights, I actually think that Aer Lingus will be considering it... A320, similar size to a B738, could work very well if you ask me!

No chance, Aer Lingus already fly from Cork to Birmingham (as do BMI Baby). A lot of passengers who travelled from Cork to East Midlands will simply travel through Birmingham so there'd be no point. As for new routes from Shannon, thats unlikely. The Shannon base is heavily loss making and Ryanair are unlikely to want to launch any new routes during the winter. Also Shannon-East Midlands has far lower passenger numbers than Cork-East Midlands (Cork-East Mids carried 73% more passengers in July than Shannon-East Mids despite identical frequency). If Cork-East Mids is only marginally profitable (according to MOL), then Shannon-East Mids must be lossmaking considering the lower passenger numbers.

bmibaby plan to add upto 5 brand new routes from EMA from now till xmas according to someone I know there, probably about 50% reliable. Since FR and EZY now operate Prague routes I can see bmibaby dropping this for a new route soon, though I doubt it now as they will be releasing there summer flights in about 2 weeks, I think one of there new routes will be Bilbao
From There. Not Good if True. Im Hoping its an Internet Problem.

Most are only suspended, a bit like some of Ryanairs routes.
However one or two are a bit strange such as Aberdeen
which was only released at double daily a few weeks ago
when fuel was sky high.

Thanks Oltonpete.
Ive quite alot of friends who work for baby at EMA/BHX So Am Thinking Of them.
Thou Some Routes Are Chopped from the 1st of Oct So There is No Flying for Nearly 12 weeks. I Can Understand Baby Cutting Back. They Have been having a Sale Recently and was Quite Suprised at some of the routes theye were Offering So Not Suprised at Whats Happened. At the Mo All I Can See is That EMA Has Lost the PRG This Winter.

Sterling
Recent trip to Sweden with Sterling
Outbound Monday 62 pax 1 hour late cost £0.00 + tax (Excellent Air)
Inbound Friday approx 100 pax nearly 3 hours late cost £10.00 + tax own equipment 737-700
Pax numbers not totally abysmal but I guess yield was. Sad to see them dropping the route though.
My two internal flights ARL - Vilhelmina and Umea - ARL cost around 30 times the EMA-ARL leg!!
