Room/flat near EMA
 

Hello, probably a bit off the thread but couldn't find anything on here...

Looking for a suitable place for crew either a house share or flat with like minded folk/peeps that like an occasional beer/wine after taking to the skies!

Any help would be appreciated ideally looking for a place from next month, feel free to PM any suggestions.

Thanks

Only temporary for a couple of weeks. Back to DH4 for rest of the season.

October Pax Numbers
 

October 14

451,251 - 5% inc on Oct 13

rolling YTD

4,488,804 - 4.1% inc on same period last year

average inc for all UK airports is 4%, so EMA a tiny bit ahead of the market avg.

This makes EMA currently the 11th busiest UK airport by pax volume. 10th spot is held by NCL on 4,501,516, just 12,712 pax ahead of EMA for the year. If both airports continue to grow at their current rate EMA will move in to the Top 10 during 2015.

New Long Stay Car Park
 

The Airport Company has submitted plans for a new long stay car park to be located between the Radisson BLU hotel and the southern perimeter fence.

Plans viewable on NWLDC website.

Its the old aeropark site in order to replace the ones lost in the JetParks ones by the DHL expansion.

Bernie. It's near there but further east actually. The old Aeropark building still stands and is visible on Google Maps.

Aer Lingus
 

It appears EI's commitment to its EMA-DUB route is already faltering before it has even begun!
The start date has now been put back from 05/02 to 02/04 and the frequency cut to just two daily rotations on Mon and Fri (with not particularly good timings) and a single rotation for the rest of the week.

EI-A330-300's previous comment "EIR are going nowhere" could well turn out to be correct, but I suspect not in the way he meant....!

East Midlands strenghthend its position as the UK's leading pure freight airport in 2014 by handling 308,935 tonnes of cargo.
After remaining flat over the previous 3 years, I believe the 2014 total (which equates to a 3.6% increase over 2013) is the best year on record.

767 emergency
 

Maersk 767 undercarriage fire at EMA this morning, full emergency, no details yet though, all crew ok.

January Pax Numbers
 

January had 183,624 pax through the terminal which is 13.3% more than Jan14.

The rolling year figure is 4,528,286 which is 4.5% inc YoY

The new year sees EMA move in to the #10 spot of UK airports by pax volume, as NCL reported its rolling year figure at 4,517,617 a 2% increase on the year.

January figures can be heavily influenced by weather and associated canx and divs.

Police
 

Press reports suggest that the National Police Air Service is to open a base at EMA. The North Midlands helicopter will move from Ripley (Derbyshire), but there are also plans to replace 4 of the service's helicopters with fixed wing aircraft, all of which will be based at EMA.

"The North Midlands helicopter will move from Ripley (Derbyshire), but there are also plans to replace 4 of the service's helicopters with fixed wing aircraft, all of which will be based at EMA."

What sort of fixed wing aircraft?

Police
 

P68's maybe?

Power outage at East Midlands Airport, all flights suspended
 

Ah, a technical fault that should have been foreseen.

That will be €250 for every passenger delayed more than 3 hours.

All back online before 1500 Arrivals and depts., looks like grid lost and then backup genset failed. Always best to have plan B C and D. We learn nothing from the Gatwick farce :rolleyes:
