If they are planning these extra fire staff they must have a business plan on the table to justify them. Also a number of the current staff might have reached retirement age.

Yes - if it's an increase in numbers that's what, another £0.5m to the annual running costs?

Increase in Fire cover is for increase in amount of air traffic, increase in aircraft size and increase in businesses at the airport.

Airport looks as good as closed with no flights today.

I noted that the job advert said operational hours were roughly 0530-2330 but then further down it said expected to work 24 hours. Wonder if the plan is to open overnight, in which case there must be a plan in place for something…?

The advert says
This role is 42 hours per week contracted to 9 hours per shift on a rota covering the operational hours of 05:30 to 23:25.
it then goes on to say

Flexible attitude to working hours, work activities and an ability to work shifts as the role will involve working an operational shift pattern providing cover up to 24 hours, averaging 42 hours per week including weekends
I read that as being your shifts will be 05:30 to 23:25 but you maybe asked to work outside these hours - for example to cover for delayed flights etc. If it means regular working outside of the operational hours its poorly written IMHO

Or it means:
"Hours initially will be.....but in due course this may extend to 24 hour coverage, and that is contractually in place now in case we need it"

According to the great DTV movements site..nil schedule movements today? Covid hitting really bad?

Surely all the concessions will be closed too? At movement looks like winter is a write off!

If they think they can snare people that way, there needs to be some recruitment in the HR dept as well! The contractual bits go in yr contract, not some coded message in the job advert.

Airport looks as good as closed with no flights today.
Looking at the arrivals/departures for next week, fewer flights than under Peel?

It was only a couple of days ago that it was being commented that Covid hadn't impacted MME as badly as other places - not so far to fall, less of a rebound

I've been amazed at the weekday Aircraft Movements numbers during December and January. Even though it may show no services, there has been private aircraft flying so it is not as blank as it made out to be on movement page.

Am I currently concerned about lack of Saturday service during Winter. No I am not, this is mainly down to Covid causing a distinct lack of travel demand.

Do I see this Saturday hiatus lasting long. No. Traffic will be back on a weekend as people start moving about more freely.

Could there be some news sometime soon. If so it will be a great addition to the airport.

I doubt it’s an error. We’ve seen this cooking before up thread.

I believe Wizz are close....

Wizz Air were on the leaked list of airlines and were the only one that had some kind of advertisement attached suggesting it was over the line? But that was ages ago does it take this long to announce?

What routes would our experts suggest, surely not a logan/eastern head to head on the Alicante.

Obviously not Logan/Eastern head to head to Alicante....😋

But for a route to succeed, it would have to be full most of the year, or at least Summer. Malaga is one, Tenerife is another. Prague at a push.

We don’t want to compete with Ryanair routes.
