Memo at work states that the cameras are operational and fines up to £1000 can/will be issued!
also heard that hand held laser will be active on the site too

OliWW 19th Aug 2009 20:39

Lodz already operated in the past, last year in fact, but no suprise they brought that back, was popular in the winter months. Good news for EMA with the other routes, is a shame we didn't see Malta, Brest or Stockholm, but maybe for S10, will we be seeing a 7th aircraft for S10??

Also does anyone know which routes the DHL B767F's will be operating?

Ryanair
 
The Belfast City extra flight is bookable 12.35/15.00 but when I checked
10 minutes ago the new routes had disappeared from the booking engine
and OLCI (FR reading pprune?) but they were there earlier.

Interesting to see two popular BHX routes included in the new batch
(BZG & RZE). Obviously confident that the Midlands can provide enough
pax on these routes but there again Krakow, Reus, Malaga, Girona,
Palma, Alicante and Murcia operate from both already plus all the new
Canaries services which are due to start.

Shannon was the most noticeable that did not work from both.

OliWW 19th Aug 2009 21:29

Ive just looked at the Belfast City flight on the 16th November

06:30 - 07:35 FR121
12:35 - 13:35 FR1418
16:20 - 17:25 FR1412

By looking in November, every day seems to have 3 flights to Belfast City

NJTCF 20th Aug 2009 00:33

Cameras EMA.
 
Most passengers using EMA will never see the cameras as they use the main entrance. They are there to try and slow people down who work or make deliveries on the airport.

There is a strong poss that STN will recieve the MD11 before EMA, but there is word on the good old grapevine that we will be seeing B747's before the MD11's too.

The EWR inbound was a divert from STN. This caused the Star Air to fly direct to STN instead of dropping into EMA from Belfast.

Star Air arent cutting back until at least January at the earliest as far as I am aware.

Hope this helps

On another note, according to theairdb.com, a cancelled route for Ryanair is Malta from EMA. Never knew it operated. Anyone got any knowledge?? i.e is it being started maybe??

OliWW 20th Aug 2009 08:54

With the Star Air having possible cut backs as well as UPS, would be good for Aerologic to start operations at EMA.

Malta has never been operated by FR either :ok:

UPS@EMA 20th Aug 2009 09:21

UPS arent cutting back at all and there is only a possability that Star air will be cutting back in January and AeroLogic will be starting at EMA in the not too distant future

757flyer 28th Aug 2009 09:26


"Today (28th August 2009) Jet2 the low fares airline, announced a substantial investment for the Midlands, with the launch of a brand new base at East Midlands Airport, creating over 130,000 seats, seven new direct seat-only destinations and 250 new jobs for the region.

The airline will offer low fare seat-only destinations from East Midlands Airport to Lanzarote, Corfu, Dalaman, Heraklion, Paphos, Tenerife and Sharm El Sheikh which are available to book today for departures from May 2010"
In addition, the new routes will bring over 250 new jobs into the area within Jet2, the airport and supporting industries, as well as bolstering the tourism industry and region as a whole.


Penny Coates, Chief Executive at East Midlands Airport said, “The news that Jet2 will open a brand new operation from East Midlands Airport next year is extremely encouraging for the airport and the region as a whole. This news is a positive indicator for the future and puts East Midlands Airport in a strong position as we continue to extend and develop our route network.”

Yes - this is good news. It looks like one or two 75's to be based there.

tickerdboo 28th Aug 2009 10:02

Dose anybody know if any of the handling agents are taking on any staff at the moment, 13 years experance in Operations,Dispatch,Load control, PSA and ramp, including pushbacks, worked at 4 different airports (STN,MAN,NAP and BHX) and just been made redundent as an Operations Supervisor at BHX. Pm me if you can help.

OliWW 28th Aug 2009 15:50

It will be 1 B752 at the start, with a possible 2nd in the Winter with possible plans for Ski routes such as Geneva, Salzburg and Chambery, will be ideal next Winter for LS at EMA, as for Winter 2009, bmibaby have reduced their flights to Geneva compared to last Winter and so have easyJet.

ATNotts 28th Aug 2009 16:28

Sorry to rain on the parade, but if these Jet2 flights aren't essentially IT's with a few seat onlys available to pick up any slack then I'll eat my hat.

Interesting thing will be to see which IT carrier loses out.

Pretty standard Charter programme. Don't worry if the Charter Dept can slip a quick IBZ on a Thursday they will. Most of the seats will go to Tour Ops for sure :\

ORK EMA
 
Looks as if Cork East Midlands route is to resume shortly. It was previously operated by WW and FR. Hopefully it'll be successful this time as there is less capacity on BHX ORK.

OliWW 28th Aug 2009 18:46

Will be good news also about Cork, EMA has lost a lot of Irish routes over the past couple of years, Cork, Londonderry and Shannon have gone and a reduction in flights to Dublin.

Who would be operating it?

john2408 28th Aug 2009 20:57

It says on Ceefax that Jet 2 have signed a 10 year deal with EMA.

aidoair 28th Aug 2009 22:30

Guessing it will be operated by FR? Would be good if WW but doubt they would start it knowing they will probably be pounced on straight away if they did?

barrowboyblue! 29th Aug 2009 08:19

quote ''It says on Ceefax that Jet 2 have signed a 10 year deal with EMA''

....my god - do people still use Ceefax! :O

Doubt nowadays that any company would 'lock' themselves into a 10 year deal - without many get-out clauses! -great news for the airport though!

regards bbb

OliWW 29th Aug 2009 09:55

A 10 year deal is a lot, I mean, Sterling had a 3 year contract, but only had about 18 months of it, if that, so who knows what will happen yet, 10 years suggests they want to be here and have plans to expand if they are here for this long, could get busy around here with Jet2 :ok:

ATNotts 29th Aug 2009 10:06

10 Year Contract
 
A 10 year contract sounds like Jet2 have made some sort of commitment to EMA for the period to exact a good deal from MAG - but with so many get out clauses as to make it akin to a collander.

Airports are desparate for a) new business and b) positive news stories at the moment and I think we ahve to separate spin from reality here.

john2408 29th Aug 2009 20:02

Barrowboyblue, if i had not gone on Ceefax, you would have nothing to comment on.!!!

Charlie Roy 29th Aug 2009 23:02

Ema - Ork
 

Guessing it will be operated by FR? Would be good if WW but doubt they would start it knowing they will probably be pounced on straight away if they did?
Maybe it'll be Jet2. Their EMA aircraft is as of yet unutilised Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Definitely enough time to do a quick Cork hop.
TUES: ema 2005 - ork 2105 / ork 2135 - ema 2235
THUR: ema 1920 - ork 2020 / ork 2050 - ema 2150

And then maybe they'd do a Sunday service using an NCL aircraft in a NCL - ORK - EMA - ORK - NCL W-pattern.

SUN: ema 2020 - ork 2120 / ork 1850 - ema 1950

Centre cities 29th Aug 2009 23:51

Cork
 
If it is JET2 it would be the based 757. I dont think there is a cat in hells chance of that.

As mentioned earlier with so many Irish route failures/withdrawals it dosnt bode well for cork again does it..

Any addition to the route network is however good, especially in the present climate.

Easyjet, the budget airline, is planning to cut flights by up to 20 per cent out of London's Luton airport and close its East Midlands base.
Easyjet said it would look relocate the flights from Luton to more "profitable bases" elsewhere.
The airline's base at East Midlands airport serves the area around Leicester, Derby and Nottingham. The company said that flights to and from East Midlands airport up to the end of the year are “wholly unaffected”.

Easyjet employs 120 staff and operates three aircraft at East Midlands, and carries around 700,000 passengers a year.

OliWW 4th Sep 2009 17:37

It wouldnt suprise me if bmi get rid of BRU as well, and place that onto WW as a daily flight with a B735?

jpthomas72 4th Sep 2009 17:57

Easyjet EMA still in booking engine
 
Just wondering if the others are confused about this as well:
Easyjet's flight EMA-GVA is still bookable, all the way into next year, until 27Jun10, as if nothing had changed. In our office we frequently use EMA to get to Geneva, and as BHX-GVA is winter-only, this is really a nice thing for us, ok, they put it to 7am from end-Oct, that's not nice as public transport doesn't work then. Keeping this flight in the booking engine is irresponsible of Easyjet, in the wake of their announcement which was in all the national press. Say what you want about Ryanair, but after MOL's tirades, the flights chopped were gone from the booking engine within hours (recently HHN-MAN). As this is a rumour network, my odd feeling is that they are not sure they really want to close EMA (ok, but we heard a few days back from their workers that it's serious).

retrosgone 4th Sep 2009 18:08

Could it be that this flight is going to be operated from GVA by Topswiss - Easy's Swiss affiliate. Having no aircraft based at an airport does not stop an airline from operating there after all.

jpthomas72 4th Sep 2009 18:22

Easyjet EMA still in booking engine
 
Good point, this could have been the case for the GVA flight (they do this at BHX, that is a Swiss-based EZS plane), but _all_ destinations from EMA are still bookable - PMI, BCN, FAO, AGP and even PRG, all until June 2010. Smells fishy to me. Mr Hamilton can't pull off an MOL-style blackmail, doesn't seem to be that kind of character. There must be people with kids already booking their 2010 Easter break, that would fool them badly.

BMIBABY TO INCREASE CAPACITY AT EMA WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS TO FILL GAP LEFT BY EASYJET

From bmibaby website:-

Low cost airline bmibaby, which is part of the bmi group, has this morning confirmed it remains fully committed to East Midlands Airport and the wider midlands region.
The bmi group has operated from East Midlands since the airport opened in 1965 – and the bmi group has been an embedded part of the local community for the past 44 years, operating the first scheduled services from the region.
bmibaby will add extra capacity within the next 48 hours across its network to meet the market demand that will be increased by the departure of easyJet from East Midlands Airport.
Crawford Rix, managing director, bmibaby, said:
“We want to reassure the people of the region we will remain committed to East Midlands Airport. bmibaby has gone from strength to strength at the airport and we will continue to provide low fares to a great range of European destinations.
“As a result of easyjet’s decision to leave the airport, we will be increasing capacity over our current network over the next 48 hours, so that the east midlands market continues to have the capacity it needs.
“East Midlands Airport is home to bmibaby and we are currently exploring other opportunities to fill the gap left by easyJet at the airport.
“bmibaby is real champion of the consumer and this week uniquely has no credit card or debit card fees. We will continue to offer the highest quality low fares service to the market.”

Patrick93 4th Sep 2009 21:18

Great, that's more cancelled flights and ripped off customers then.

I'd rather fly stowed away in a crate on a cargo aircraft than with bmibaby.

Shame EZY have left.
