jetmagic - new Cork carrier
Heard that a new carrier is to be announced tomorrow - jetmagic - with ERJ145 operations out of Cork to Belfast, Paris, Brussels, Edinburgh and possible others this Spring....... Also heard that they are interested in LCY but not sure if the aircraft could land without a parachute on the back........
They seem to be an off-spring of Ricky Lake of Eastern Airways.... son't know if the 2 airlines will be involbed with each other though. Mr Foley, previously of EI is also rumoured to be involved.
A new operation with Embraers (which arent' cheap to operate or maintain) seems a bit of a strange one though and don't know how long they will be in existance.....
www.jetmagic.com (nothing on yet though - just a promo about how they will redefine the term air-travel (haven't I heard that before.......)

Sorry to possibly disappoint you, but they seem to be focussing on business oriented markets and ideally on that basis they'd want to go to London City. So the big question is when will the ERJ135 be cleared for LCY?

Excuse my stupidity, but since when is the ERJ135 certified for London City.... To the best of my knowledge, the only jets certified are the BAe 146s/RJs and the Fokker 70 - and I have serious doubts that in the case of the ERJ135 it is only a question of paperwork.....

Three cheers to Jet Magic in announcing their new routes. Should do really well with nearly all of those new routes. Barcelona and Nice are sure winners! They are brave indeed in trying out Belfast again but you never know. BA use EMB-145s from Manchester to Nice and to Warsaw so no problem there.
The Legacy is not actually shown on the LCY website list of approved aircraft, which is here:

Errr. the performance data for the ERJ135 is:
Performance
Maximum cruise speed 833km/h
Service ceiling 11,275m
Service ceiling, one engine inoperable 6,100m
Take-off run 1,700m
Landing run 1,360m
(LCY also requires a 5.5° descent angle insted of 3°)
If the take-off run is 1,700m and the runway length at the moment is approx 1.300m incl. starter strips, I see a problem even taking minimum fuel load etc. into account

LCY
Looks like the ERJ135 will need floats for LCY then !
Not suprised that they were expecting the aircraft to operate to LCY as adding up was never Patrick Raftery's strong point.
But he could sell coconuts to the Africans, so the aircraft will be full as it goes off the end.
Good luck Pat

Are you sure about the Embraer Legacy/135 being cleared for LCY, I can't see either on this list:

if its anything to do with eastern then surely their belfast airport would be intl,as eastern already fly into there.....but after all when bacx pull out of co down airport lock stock and barrell and flybe cut even more services and then eventually pull out of northern ireland there will be lots of room on the ramp for any stupid outfit who think they can take on the big boys up at international, then roll on the day when co down airport is turned into a b and q warehouse <after all its about all its f@@@ing fit for>mines the jaguar on the right
