Not quite as bad as first thought...
 

See separate UKIA thread on this one.

IOM
 

Not sure if this is old news but the Leicester Mercury have a piece about a new IOM route by Manx2

Ema-ork
 

Could anyone tell me how the new East Midlands-Cork route is doing? What have loads been like? I was just wondering what the demand has been like for the new service given that BMI Baby and Aer Lingus both already operate daily services from Birmingham to Cork.

The EMA-ORK flight has been full every time i have looked on the pax numbers page but this may be due to xmas holiday travellers so it will be easier to judge how well used this route is in two or three weeks time.

Is this to be operated by a Let410, Metro or the recently introduced D228?

Manx
 

Fried Chicken - the article said a 19 seater but didn't specify type

From the Manx2 press release (from their website):

The flights will be operated by a fast, pressurised 19 seat Metroliner aircraft.

Thats great, thanks for the info

ryanair
 

hey all i have noticed that from 14/2 the dublin route is to operate 4 daily rotations(afternoon dublin based) at they have also bought foward the 2nd flight to belfast city to the 14/2

Glad to see an XL a/c is going to be based at EMA, and also glad to see the increase in the DUB, making my trips across even more flexible. Other new routes or increased frequenices also expected soon from FR, I think the 6th a/c is due sometime in the spring.

But, what I was wondering was when TCX reverts to basing A320s at EMA, what will happen to the winter Gambia-Banjul flights, because the A320s wouldn't make it there would they, and I wouldn't think they would bring a larger a/c just for the one flight a week, so maybe the flights will be discontinued next winter. Any view and comments on this appreciated.

Thanks

Ithink you will find that the E.M.A-Gambia flights have always been operated by Astraeus Airlines using 737-700s.they ferry down from MAN and then operate E.M.A -BRS-BJL.

thomas cook also operate a flight to gambia on tuesdays

Must be some rescheduling to do.
At the moment FR539 is due to dep EMA at 1525, arr DUB 1625, and FR127 is scheduled to depart 1545, arrive DUB 1645.

:confused:

Are there new routes coming too?

What do you know dumdumbrain - we can normally rely on your snippets. :ok:

For summer 08 what airlines are with which handeling agents?

Are Thomas cook staying with Menzies with mytravel being brought, or moving to servisair?

yes thomas cook are staying with menzies they will be doing mytravel aswell

Re: summer 2008, Menzies have retained the TCX contract for the 2x A320. They have also won the manx2 IOM contract. TOM and FCA will stay the same this year, and for next summer there will be a TUI contract up for grabs for the combined TOM/FCA contract. If Menzies gain that, could be interesting times for Servisair :}

That means that Menzies have Thomas Cook, bmibaby, bmi, eastern, easyjet and manx2, and servisair have thomsonfly, first choice, xl, ryanair, sterling and ukia if they are back...


any news on kang parcific starting?
