EAST MIDLANDS - 6

[BombardierCR7]

TravelMole reporting Bmibaby will add EMA-MAH this forthcoming summer

I've heard a rumour of three new routes from EMA with Baby. Mahon looks like one, I've also heard Naples, the third could be Almeria, or is there another??

[aidoair]

Almeria has already been anounced with the last batch of next summers flights. Hopefully they will start these new routes be great for the airline and airport.

wow EMA NCE not even announced on company website!! Well staff always are the last to find out. I wouldn't get too excited it will either mean another base is operating it or we will lose a route, what they give with one hand we lose with the other.

I have already posted on the easyjet thread it appears Prague
has gone from daily to four a week to accommodate the Nice.

So it would appear no extra aircraft and not even a new route
for the airport as Baby are still (at the moment) offering Nice.

Baby must feel that they are being targeted in the Midlands!

Easyjet

Appears to be a good tactical move by Easy, they are maintaining the competition with FR on Prague's busier days and by adding NCE they are increasing their offering from EMA.
It is good to see some positive action from two of the airport's resident airlines; I wonder what FR have in prospect?

Just been on the bmi website, and seen Oslo and Stockholm in the drop down list from EMA... are these new routes, or just there for the sake of it?

[SAM-EMA]

The BD Oslo and Stockholm flights operate via Brussels. They are codeshares with SAS from Brussels to Oslo and Stockholm.

A miracle has happened today, the UKIA B767 has been moved to BMI's hangar at 13.20 today !!!!! After nearly 12 months being a gate guard to the maintenance area it looks like we are finally getting rid of this heap.

[HeliCraig]

To save me trawelling through the posts.... do we know what the future holds for the beast?

Presume BMI are making it airworthy for it go on somewhere and be moved to a different register?

[NJTCF]

Hopefully If BMI And Who Ever Else Is Looking at it in the BMI hangar Give It The Ok 2 Fly Should be on its way To Filton Might Even Go With its Wheels Down All the way That Should be Interesting. Thou Would Need A Day Like today to do that Sort of Flight. Fingers Crossed its Given the Clearance to fly and its Finally Out of EMA Way.

[HeliCraig]

Anyone know what the plan is at Filton? Will it be returned to service on the G Register? Or is it bound elsewhere?

(Incidentally, this months AAIB bulletin contains a bulletin about an A320 which was ferried from Kos to Toulouse with carriage down following a hard landing!).

[Budfrey27]

...wasn't that a Mytravel A320 G-DHJZ..if i remember rightly...LGW-KGS last year sometime!

cheers

Bud

[HeliCraig]

Thats the one!

[Mr Angry from Purley]

UKIA is back "home" but looks like the titles have gone, certainly the UK at the back looks as though it's had a spash of paint to cover it

[Mr Airtours]

Monarch EMA Summer 2009 ???

Just saw on "Monarch 2" that there is a rumour that Monarch might possibly place an aircraft at EMA for S09 !

Don't think it likely but you never know.

[bmibaby.com]

Though it would make sense to soak up some of the capacity the airport has lost from XL, LTE and Futura, plus an apparent drop in the number of flights done next year by bmi charter, apparently Monarch are already operating a smaller flying programme than last year with the departure of some of their 757s which aren't being replaced. Would be useful though.

[OliWW]

Is there any more news about Ryanair releasing some more routes from EMA. I looked at their timetable again, see if it had differ from the last few months, and there are still 8 departures on a Sunday morning but only 5 departures on a Saturday morning
