Sterling
 

All three routes were initially shown as operating during the winter, but none of them now appear on their schedule; in fact Oslo will now cease at the end of August and both Stockholm and Copenhagen on the 26th October.

Their load factors never really reached the levels required to make the routes viable and in the current climate they appear to have taken the view that any future growth is unlikely.

FR's introduction of services to Oslo and Stockholm from BHX was probably the final nail in the coffin, so I doubt that we will see the routes re-introduced next year!

I am sure that the Copenhagen and Stockholm flights were a bit busier in the winter period, im sure there pax figures were better than they have been this summer.

Ive also just noticed on the EMA arrivals board and departure board, that we seemed to have picked up the flights from Coventry, have they been diverted or is something going wrong there?

Hi

Ok thanks for that, was getting my hopes up then on a new route for EZY, so have sterling finished now at EMA as from 26th October ?
Seems a shame, was going to book an oslo trip in Jan for a weekend, shame they are going if they are !

BMI Baby Summer 2009 Flights Going On Sale Soon.
 

As Many Like me have received an email from baby to let us know the summer 2009 seats will be going on sale in the next few weeks. Think its the earliest Baby have ever put seats out for the following summer. Think they are trying to get the people who book early and who are Not Bothered who they fly with as long as the price is right. Think this will be good for baby and it will be interesting to see how long before EZY + RYR Follow behind with the bread and butter Routes Like AGP, ALC + PMI.

Also Notice they put in there email they will be flying some new routes. Hopefully some from EMA With a 6th Baby Based.

I Remember When baby used to Fly to Cork!!!!!!!!!!

Would Love to See Newquay for the Summer:ok:.

BMI Baby Early S09 Release
 

I would have thought this has more than a little to do with improving cashflow- paying for this autumns fuel with next summer's ticket sales.

That's not to suggest that WW has a cash flow problem any worse than anyone else, they will all be playing the same game this year I would have thought.

RYR Cork Flight.
 

The Above Was Pulled:( Because of a Spat between RYR And Cork Airport Over Charges. So Unless Cork Airport Relents to RYR We Will Probably Not be Seeing that service Reinstated. More Info On the Ryanair Page.

This Will be Another Loss of Pax Numbers to the airport with Sterling Pulling the Plug Also Pax Numbers Are Only Going One Way and Thats Down Sadly. Im Hoping Baby Might Operate the Cork Again But Baby Are Not Going to be Charging £1 Each Way Like RYR.

Sterling
 

Has it been confirmed that Sterling are to cease all 3 routes from EMA?

I know that flights don't appear to be bookable, but the only reason I ask, is that there is no announcement of this either on their website or the website of the airport - In fact, EMA's website has a banner advertising Sterling flights to both Stockholm & Copenhagen!!

Bizarre, to say the least!!:uhoh:

Stu

Hi Guys

Well my mate was meant to be going to Arlanda in Nov, and has not been officially told his flight has gone, it was only through me and the info i have here that i warned him, so he rang Sterling and they have confirmed to him that they have cancelled and he has had his flight transferred to London now, he is well pissed off as to this date, they have not sent emails or told anyone they have gone !
This is bad really and EMA should inform pax !

Mike

This is disgraceful but typical airline behaviour.
They intentionally do not tell you until as late as possible, that way they get to hold on to your dosh and earn interest on it.

Ryanair cancelling Cork
 

Probably not.
The EMA based aircraft will instead be used on another route...

Mike - Language please :mad:

Hi Mr Angry

I am very sorry for my little outburst there, you should here my mate then, his is terrible..... lol


Sorry if i caused any upset for anyone here

Mike :O:O:O:O

And What Route would that be? Do You Know Something We Dont.

As far as im concerned the RYR Aircraft will just sit idle for those 3 hrs during the Winter months Instead of doing the Cork Rotation. Or Any Other Flight. Wether an Existing route or New Route.With the price of oil still high Its Not Worth it.

No chance, Aer Lingus already fly from Cork to Birmingham (as do BMI Baby). A lot of passengers who travelled from Cork to East Midlands will simply travel through Birmingham so there'd be no point. As for new routes from Shannon, thats unlikely. The Shannon base is heavily loss making and Ryanair are unlikely to want to launch any new routes during the winter. Also Shannon-East Midlands has far lower passenger numbers than Cork-East Midlands (Cork-East Mids carried 73% more passengers in July than Shannon-East Mids despite identical frequency). If Cork-East Mids is only marginally profitable (according to MOL), then Shannon-East Mids must be lossmaking considering the lower passenger numbers.

RYR New Route.
 

RYR Will be Flying to Turin From the 20th of Decemeber. The Flight is once a week on a Saturday.

Turin, let me see.skiing? and you can't do that with hand luggage only £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

It looks like Ryanair are replacing Cork with Beauvais.

Beauvais
 

CR

Yes its a straight replacement, daily 09.30-12.40 FR1688/9, commences 28th October.

Madrid has been removed from the route map and stops for good at the end of the summer season. Anyone know the reason???? the flight times to be fair wernt the best.

Also Derry has also been dropped from the end of the summer season

Regards

Stu

The Derry route has been moved to BHX. Hopefully not a sign of things to come for EMA.

Baby PRG Route.
 

Looks as thou baby have pulled the route from the 24th of October. Not Bookable 25th of Oct threw to March 2009. Thou there Timetable says they are operating 4 Flights a week in the Winter. Anyone at baby Got any more Info on this please.

Bmi Baby.
 

Reports on the BHX Page Baby Have Dropped 12 Routes:( From There. Not Good if True. Im Hoping its an Internet Problem.

Baby
 

NJTCF

Most are only suspended, a bit like some of Ryanairs routes.

However one or two are a bit strange such as Aberdeen
which was only released at double daily a few weeks ago
when fuel was sky high.

Pete

Thanks Oltonpete.

Ive quite alot of friends who work for baby at EMA/BHX So Am Thinking Of them.

Thou Some Routes Are Chopped from the 1st of Oct So There is No Flying for Nearly 12 weeks. I Can Understand Baby Cutting Back. They Have been having a Sale Recently and was Quite Suprised at some of the routes theye were Offering So Not Suprised at Whats Happened. At the Mo All I Can See is That EMA Has Lost the PRG This Winter.

Sterling
 

Recent trip to Sweden with Sterling

Outbound Monday 62 pax 1 hour late cost £0.00 + tax (Excellent Air)

Inbound Friday approx 100 pax nearly 3 hours late cost £10.00 + tax own equipment 737-700

Pax numbers not totally abysmal but I guess yield was. Sad to see them dropping the route though.

My two internal flights ARL - Vilhelmina and Umea - ARL cost around 30 times the EMA-ARL leg!!

EMA Resurfacing Work In November.
 

Heard from two different people there is resurfacing work to be carried Out in November is this on the Taxiways or Runways or both, Will there be any Night closures and is work being done at the weekends when its quiet. Anyone know anything more specific. Thanks.

EMA August Stats
