UPS.
 

Heard a whisper We Might be getting MD-11s:ok: within the next 12 months, Can any of the guys down at UPS confirm this.

Why was my post deleted last night??

I was informing everyone, that TOYI was in the hanger with huge Billboard style Bmibaby.com titles, I saw it through the doors

Nothing sinister bmia330. It wasn't deleted, it was moved to the spotters forum. The mods are working overtime on this thread which keeps drifting to reggies and bmibaby ... not East Midlands itself.

Ok thanks, fair enough, it's just that there was talk about TOYI on this thread, just thought it would help! As crew, can't wait to fly on it!

Emergency landing at East Midlands Airport after bird strike

03.08.08
A cargo plane was forced to land at East Midlands Airport shortly after take off yesterday because of a suspected bird strike, according to press reports. Emergency services were called to the airport after reports the Boeing 767 had been involved in an incident.
A Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman told AFP they were called to the hub just after 06:00 to reports of an ‘aircraft emergency’. He said a Boeing 767 had been involved in a possible bird strike.
The service sent six fire crews, as well as a water carrier, rescue unit and command support unit. The spokesman said: ‘The aircraft landed safely and was inspected by the airport fire service and there was no action by Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service.’
An East Midlands Airport spokesman confirmed a cargo plane had left but then landed back at the airport because of a suspected bird strike. She said emergency services were called out as standard procedure and that she believed the plane was not damaged in the incident.

EMA was planned to have had MD-11 in 2006, but UK growth has not been as predicted, It is very likely ups at STN will be first for the heavier equipment while at EMA the 763 will contine doing the work.

Ema Ups.
 

Thanks for the comments. yes the Ups Senario has been going on for years will it be 747s Etc. The Only Reason I Put it on Was That i heard this from someone who works at Ups at Ema. That we would see Md11s Within the next 12 Months at EMA. It Would be Nice if they did. As for STN I Would Hope UPS Would put the Bigger Aircraft in EMA First. :ok:

Ill find out for deffo about expansion plans for UPS at EMA when i go to the Derby match on Saturday.

Regards

MD11 will be coming to EMA instead of the usual B767 poss from Winter but i have had it confirmed.

Regards

Hope you get that exciting MD11 news at Derby on Sat as it's the only excitment you'll get, let alone 3 points....
Have to admit whilst i like the MD11 it ain't harf noisy, jumped out of my bed last night thinking the LH EMA-JFK was about to crash it made that much noise...Either that or i was having a deep dream of the mighty Crystal Palace putting one over Derby! :\

UPS MD-11s
 

UPS.

I Hope it is Confirmed By you when u go 2 the derby match saturday and make sure Derby Win Please!!:ok: Also Whats the position with the Ups Hub is the lease on the building comming to end soon have they managed to extend the lease or are they Moving?

EMA New Resident...

JCBs New G550 Was Delivered last night Direct from SAV. G-JCBB.

Confirmed - UPS to change equipment from B767 to MD11. Unsure of date, but will happen.

Also Mr Angry, a Palace fan i presume. Will you be coming to the Derby game??? if so good luck. Derby to win 2-0 on Sat :-) :D

I don't care what the score is, as long as they WIN... :ugh:

Well there were rumors that TCX are going to upgrade one of the A320s to an A321 for S09 and also TOM were considering switching from 1 B752 and 2 B738s to 2 B752s and 1 B738 for S09. But I've never heard anything since, so who knows. Anyone know anything else?

And also, I'm assuming FR will need 7 a/c by next summer what with the new routes this winter and then the seasonal routes returning next March/April. We obviously won't be having (or if we do, very few) Salzburg flights back for the Winter because Salzburg is one of the airport cuts for the 6 week period.

SAM-EMA

I hope TOM do bring back another B752, I cant see that 1x B752 and 2x B738 will be enough with the merge with FCA as they had a A321 with 220seats, and the B752 only has 235... It will also be good if TCX bring a A321 to EMA to boost passenger figures...

Ryanair have also lost Budapest from EMA as I recall, they are closing this base in the winter because of fuel costs, so I hear... so maybe Prague being replaced by this, Faro replacing Salzburg and then Fuerterventura as a new destination slotted in somewhere, so I know FR wont be putting a 7th Aircraft here this winter atall.

I'm not aware they are being replaced as you say because the cut is only for 6 weeks from 4th Nov to 19th Dec. The new routes to Prague, Faro and Fuerteventura will I'm sure fill in the gaps left by the seasonal route stoppages. And it won't be just Budapest and Salzburg that are affected. EMA will also loose Krakow and Valencia between the said dates, but will return after, they are not being suspended full stop. But as all routes, including the seaonal ones will be back operating fully by next March, I would think that the 7th a/c would be needed then. So, the routes arn't lost, they are just temporarily not operating.

SAM-EMA

Ahh well .... good news about the MD11 eh? :}:}:}:}:}:}:}:oh:

Must have been so annoying to go to Derby to see Crystal Palace - then Doncaster Rovers turn up instead!

good old donny

Ema Ryr.
 

I Understand there 7th Based Aircraft Shud be In Operation by the 30th of March. RYR Will Definatly Go Daily on the AGP + ALC For next Summer. And I Would not be Suprised to See PMI Added.:ok:

Ukia 767.
 

Seen today were a few people getting on board the above. Anyone Know anymore? Could someone be buying it?:ok: Lets Hope so.

Saw a set of DHL steps there and a silver transit minibus parked up next to it, didn't recognise the logo on the side though. Have not seen the BCT engineers around for a while so I wonder who accompanied them on the 'visit'. Must say tho I would not go up there for a while after being sealed for 7 months or so!!

code
not sure i said that i'd being going to see Derby v Palace, maybe just dreaming when the mighty Palace visit. I'd settle for a 1-0 though when it happens... (or Leicester in the cup away will do):\

My mate from Sheffield, of Pakistani descent, on the phone last night,asked about the 767 and what was happening to it.

He was in contact with MK fairly regularly until the demise of UKIA but hasn't seen or heard from him since. Seems to have vanished, unlike the jet!

Was rumours last week it was departing, Silver transit will be the Airport Handlers...... but it never did, instead JCB's old Gulfstream joined it.

Make 700 redundant? and buy a new Jet....

Ukia 767.
 

Have Heard We Are Finally Going to Get rid of the above. I gather it will be going into the BMI Hanger for some work to be carried out. Wether fully into the hanger we will have to see because of the height of the 767. They are hoping to have it ready for flight within 6-8 weeks and then it will depart to anotha uk airport in the south west.Have also heard RYR Are Looking at Ibiza for Next Summer.

July Provisional Pax
 

EMA is still managing to produce increases in monthly passenger figures - for how much longer though remains to be seen; the CAA provisional figures show 605,712 for July, an increase of 5.6% bringing the 12 month total to 5,705,756 up 10.4%

Balair.
 

Any chance of the figures for the IOM Flight would love to know how this flight is doing if they are Published. Thanks if Possible.

First Choice 767 Was Sort of inside the BMI Hanger today Well the back was sticking out. Was it Tech?.

NJTCF

The provisional total for July is 682 pax, an average of 11 per flight or 58% load factor; May and June's totals were very similar, so not brilliant but could be worse!

First Choice 767 In The BMI Hanger.
 

Have Just Been Told it was having a New Windscreen Fitted.

Fly Excellent are operating the I/B PMI and then the O/B PMI. G-TCAC is currently tech, some sort of oil leak I heard.

The pax were boarding the original TCX a/c when I left this evening about 10. Not sure what else is happenning but looks like she has been fixed and back in service, albeit with quite a big delay!

Hi

I do hope everyone is well, I just wondered if there is a new EZY route, I was looking at EMA arrivals and Departures and there is a EZY flight 6584/ 5 from Gothenburg / EZY6584 14:35 Gothenburg (Landvetter )
And this takes of at 15.05 hrs ?
A one off or a new route ?

Take care guys
Mike
