Well i for one feel sorry for Easyjet @ East midlands now

CHARLIE ROY
Many moons ago an airline i worked for at ema was taken over by one based in LTN and i got redundancy as LTN was deemed to be too far away, or legal words to that effect. Don't worry until it happens! :\

EMA New Carpark
 

I see they are getting on really well with the new carpark, i dont know if its me but the spaces look mighty small. I wont be parking my 4x4 in there. Theres going 2 be lots of doors being banged and marked:(.

On Another Point if it is true. I will be really sad to see EZY leaving EMA if it does happen as it was EZY who made BMI wake up and form Baby.

RYR I See they will be operating 4 flights a week to AGP from the 26th of October. Su, Mo, We, Fr.

Wasn't it Go which prompted the start-up of Baby?

My friend has had it confirmed that Easyjet will not be pulling out of EMA at all in the near or distant future. They are here to stay and that is from EMA Management. Rumour quashed:).

Oli, where did u hear this about a new airline???? unless its long haul, there will be no financially viable way that it could operate from EMA to the European sunshine routes. And in the current climate, i cant see L/H operators making enough money from EMA to survive

Regards

UPS@EMA,

Hope you are right about EZY.

I have just tried to 'book' flights from MAN, LTN, LGW and EMA for 05/11/08 to some year-round type of destinations (Prague, Paphos, Tenerife etc.) All attempts failed, with a diologue box telling me that basically nothing can be booked after that date.

I think it is just EZY formulating a strategy for the winter, with fuel prices, the credit crunch and living costs being taken into account before releasing their schedules.

Also, I note that MOL has been slagged off in the Times for not hedging!

Code 100, Easyjets winter timetable doesnt come out for another 3 weeks or so so obv nothing is going to be bookable before then for after the 2nd Nov.
Did you think they were going to close Luton and Gatwick also????

UPS@EMA

If you read my post correctly you will realise what I am saying!

It is not just EMA that cannot be booked.

A lot of the speculation has focused on that point. I was only stating that bookings couldn't be made from other stations.

I am sure everyone else realised what I was illustrating.

EZY Winter Flights.
 

Adding to the above post you cannot book BMI Baby flights after the 25th of October. Always the last sunday of October When the winter Timetable Comes into affect. and WW are Not Pulling Out.:ok: WW just leave it as late as possible to put on line to see what everyone else is doing and with the price of Oil who can blame them.

:ugh:Sorry, Must be totally dumb then.

UPS@EMA

No, you are not dumb!

Not an attack on you, just the speculators who seized on the booking engine not accepting post 02/11/08.

I sincerely hope your friend is correct, as I hope they can grow further at EMA when conditions are right.

trust me, he is correct

UPS@EMA

I think you are very wrong indeed, as myself and 2 fellow colleagues have been in a little meeting with management at East midlands and they are trying very hard to keep us, and NO official annoucment has been made as the easyjet meetings are still on today, this is the 3rd day now, so no actual decision has been made, so you are wrong at this moment to confirm this.
I came on here as i have been a member of here for a couple of years now and though we have had rumours before with easyjet, this is the strongest one to date.
As soon as i hear anything i will let you know as soon as

bmibaby expansion
 

hey all just read in a local newspaper about bmibaby, quoting that they are going to add five more routes from ema which they will announce towards the end of the year aswell as expanding from there other bases

BmiBaby
 

It looks like it is make or break month for BmiBaby....

http://www.compare-airport-parking.c...-Cutbacks.html

Lets hope they continue to operate and expand from all of there hubs. :ok:

EMA Drama?
 

Guys (EGNX, UPS@EMA, Towerman etc)

Sorry to change the subject but rumours are the UKIA 76' G-CECU was visited by the law recently...

Anyone got any further info please?

Will this sorry excuse for an airline ever go away? Although I understand the owner is officially bankrupt and some ex-employees have been paid a proportion of what they are owed.

?????
Phish

Ukia 767.
 

Yes Police were around the 767 at EMA the other day and went into there office next to donnair. Dont think they found anything!!!!

The UKIA 767 has been parked down by the staff car park for a looooong time now.

I was told the lessors were trying to sell it but obviously no joy.


Any info on the progress?

Ryanair are again expanding from BHX with
Alicante
Londonderry
Fuerterventura
Katowice
Kaunas
Malaga
Palma
Murica
Krakow...

Some of these are operated by EMA, but, has EMA been forgotten and they are moving on now, or will there be any more expansion soon... its over due some... If easyjet do leave, there could be Palma up for grabs, I would have thought Fuerterventura, Katowice would be popular from EMA as well...

I think the possibility of FR expanding further at EMA, certainly in the short to medium term, is very remote indeed.
Now it is the dominant airline at the airport it looks as if its full attention in the Midlands is now being focussed on BHX in an attempt to achieve the same outcome there.
With the continued rumours regarding EZY and the uncertainty of what may result from any future sale of bmi, EMA's management could soon be faced with the unenviable situation of having to offer even better terms to FR to retain even its current level of operations at the airport, and the situation is likely to get even worse for them once FR has increased its presence at BHX, as the airline will be in an even stonger position to play one airport off against the other.

ukia 767
 

Shady,

Nil further. It's all a bit quiet. Some interested parties have expressed a desire to take the a/c on, but it is old, and would need a lot of work now. No maint done since Christmas, so it will be in a state. Definitely no cleaning been done onboard either - I dread to think!

I would imagine EMA are waiting for money to be paid first to let it go anywhere.....

Phish :ok:

I thought FR were Putting a 7th Aircraft In towards the end of October at EMA. So we just might get some new routes or an increase on some routes anounced soon. Presumbe With BHX being a new base for FR there anouncement will become before us .

FR Derry Flights.
 

Ive noticed that EMA-DERRY Cannot be booked after the 26th of October, Think we might have lost this 2 BHX. As Cork Knock BHD Can be booked after the 26th of October. I heard loads were not brilliant so not suprised thou sad if it is correct that we have lost a flight 2 BHX.

FR @ BHX and EMA
 

I think in the short term there will be some re-jigging of routes at EMA to accomodate the new base at BHX and to avoid overlapping of routes where I there just isn't demand from both. LDY is one of those, on paper you have 'lost' a route but the current commercial and operating environment just doesn't allow for airlines to fly routes to 'join all the dots' on a route map, as it were.

I have no doubts in the long term that some FR destinations will be operated from both airports successfully and that some will only be from either EMA or BHX according to where demand is strongest. I have always said there is demand in the Midlands for two major airports and FR have seen an opportunity to exploit this both airports to gain a major foothold in the Midlands market.

As for expansion at EMA, well I suppose its all BHX focused at the mo because its a new base but am sure EMA will see new flights from FR too this year, the long term problem for EMA is that BHX will be the major base of the two by far and I think will see faster expansion in terms of based a/c and destinations

Personally I am not sure that a daily Derry from BHX will work, time will tell

THOMSONfly /FCA SUMMER 2009
 

Anyone out there got any idea of the combined flying programme for Thomsonfly and First Choice out of EMA for the Summer 2009?

Message from MODS

with only one LoCo airline now flying the MOD have agreed to lift the limit on the number of ryanair threads from 50 to 100

Thomson Airways Sum 09
 

I think It goes like this for Summer 2009... as you can tell which used to be FCA's on some days...

MON - CFU, SKG, ZTH, BJV, PMI, IBZ
TUE - ALC, PMI, REU, AYT, TFS, SFB
WED - PFO, IBZ, MAH, SSH, FUE, LPA, CUN
THU - ACE, FAO, PMI, HER, AGP, DLM
FRI - PMI, MAH, ZTH, CFU, NAP, IBZ, +(PMI (Jul - Aug))
SAT - IBZ, MAH, PMI, ALC, RHO, PFO, +(PMI (Jun - Aug))
SUN - PMI, HER, LCA, SSH, AGP, MIR


2x B738 1x B752

FR - LDY/BHX or EMA
 

Given the large Irish population in the West Midlands, I would have thought that LDY would stand a better chance of being successful from BHX than EMA.

FR new routes
 

Well apparently all confirmed and starting in October FR to Faro/Prague and Fuertaventura. :ok:


Cheers

Yes, new routes as follows

FAO from 28/10 - Tue/Thur/Sat - Late Afternoon/Evening
FUE from 28/10 - Tue/Thur/Sat - Morning
PRG from 26/10 - Sun/Tue/Thur/Sat - Morning

Owen

Shame Prague is not MWFSu which would be far better for the weekend break market

Ryanair
 

Do the additional routes require extra rotations/aircraft or do some routes give way to make room.

Centre cities

May pax
 

The good news in certain parts of the Midlands rumbles on (well at present): -


NOTTINGHAM EMA 551,403 up 14.2%

C c

There was plenty of room for these additional flights in the winter
schedule for the existing 6 based aircraft. However like BHX there
has been some changes.

The last time I looked EMA had lost FNI, AHO, LDY plus a couple of
others but this is normal for winter. It has been virtually been impossible
to check the FR schedules due to problems on their website (damn
people wanting to book flights;)).

airhumberside

at least bhx got a decent schedule on the PRG ;)

monarch
 

Monarch going to run from cov by end of 08 ??????

Monarch, CVT??
 

Monarch operating from Battery Park City eh? (Please, if we're going to use codes, let's at least get them right!!).

Seriously, is there a reputable source to this rumour - or just wishful thinking?

ryanair
