With the application to the regional connectivity fund for help in establishing a double daily to Belfast from MME, it seems that this route has been served before by BMI:
Passenger figures were as follows:
2003: 6,408
2004: 32,000
2005: 6,598
On the face of it, 32,000 a year doesn't seem bad for what potentially would have been a business orientated destination. Does anyone have any info on what planes they used, the frequency and why the route was pulled?

Every time a route has had start-up funding it's been dropped once the funding has run out, what's to stop that from happening this time around assuming we're successful?

CO, which routes have received the funding in the past?
If its routes like bmibaby to Belfast then its obvious that the aircraft was too large for the route on a single rotation a day. A J32 twice a day to Belfast is a different ball game as you would hope they would time it as a morning and early evening rotations. This would then cater for the business pax as well as the leisure/squaddie element. I do have somewhere the figures for the old Gill route to Belfast may have to dig them out. Generally that was flown by an ATR 42. I will have a look for them.

Aberdeen
Looks like back to J41 on the Aberdeen route on the Eastern Airways website from Tuesday..looking at the fire categories on the NOTAM's, I am not sure a Saab was planned to come (although it was on the website) I think you need CAT5 and was always CAT 4 last week at the Aberdeen scheduled times..
On the London City thread it says about a Saab operating for British Airways to Dusseldorf, has the Saab planned for here gone there instead?

Seems the airport are unaware of any upgrade on the Eastern route, as mmeman says their website is showing a Jetstream again, so must have either been a typo or more likely tactics to warn off Flybe who's commercial director had publicly expressed interest in competing on the route.

Both I think, can't find the article now but Flybe's commercial director went on record as saying they were considering it, despite axing Leeds-Aberdeen at around the same time because they can't compete with the more expensive Eastern.

So are the MOD flights back on? Bittersweet, I was looking forward to them at NCL, but I went down to MME on Sunday to see 'NK... Bloody hell it's depressing down their. Was there an ABZ flight? Because if there was I swear it had 1 pax... And the terminal was deserted, barriers up everywhere, not nice at all...

This was in the local paper.
Have the plans for the 400 houses been submitted or left on the Peel shelf? Not taking off (From Darlington and Stockton Times)
