The TCX - DLM flight didn't depart until 8am this morning, and the PMI flight was Canx... so when will this operate now? What was the cause for the big delay?

Can't be sure as I haven't been in today but it looks like the TCX 118 EMA-PMI operated on the TCX YYZ a/c that arrived at BHX this morning, as the A320 for the PMI was operating the DLM as it was tech last night?

How are the new Jet2 routes doing? Are Menzies coping alright handling them? as the flights don't seem to run on time :ugh:

From what i've seen Jet 2 doing well with on time perf. Yes with only 1 aircraft your vulnerable but TC had the delay as previous and Thom had a big delay last week, Baby fairly regular delays.
You also have to appreciate that low co's including cov man's beloved Ryanair cancel at the drop of the hat, i.e. who cancelled when the puddle jumper got stuck on the runway last week?. Makes their OTP stats look fantastic...

Good pax numbers as well from what I've seen :ok:

From the pax I've spoken to all seemed very happy with service, scheduled flight times, baggage allowence etc. Not an advert I promise! :oh:

Jet2 managemnt are very happy with the performance and passenger figures at EMA. They are also looking infor at least another 3 potential routes for Summer 2011.

Also another positive is AeroLogic From 02 Aug will operae more flights from EMA.

3S550 02AUG25OCT 1000000 BOX 777 FRA1715 EMA1910
3S550 03AUG28OCT 0234000 BOX 777 LEJ2000 EMA2200
3S550 03AUG29OCT 0234500 BOX 777 EMA0030 BAH0700
I believe these are in addition to the current BOX110 flight

On the negative side. looks like FR will be down to poss 4 based units this winter.

FR will be 7 based a/c for the winter, but only 4/5 actually flying. the others will be for base trainning and the others just parked up.

Heard that Jet2 will be opening more routes next summer. Will they base another 757 or a 737, anyone knows?

It should be another B752, but the B733 does look likely, especially with the amount of ALC and PMI flights, I wouldn't have thought they would be able to totally fill a B752

Yeah, exactly what I thought..757 makes sence on the routes they are operating now, but not on FAO/ALC/PMI with lots of competition, not for a start at least.. Plus they don't have that many 757's to base two alone at EMA, I guess they'll want to keep most at their main bases.

I'm not sure of its actual schedule, but couldn't Jet2 make use of the 733QC I have regularly seen based/parked up at EMA operating on night time freight/mail flights and have it ready to be able to operate the new routes to Spain etc through the day?

Didn't thought about that, but yes, makes perfect sence. They do it from Edinburgh.

No QC machines at EMA, they operate to and from EMA.

Can you find out what crew rest facilities are on the brand new 767's that UPS rotate through EMA occasionally. i.e. do they have anything apart from what you have on the older 76's as previously advised
Cheers Mr A :\

Mr Angry,

They only have 2 crew seats in, similar to the older one.

Hope this helps.

Kindest Regards

Is there any truth to the Wikipedia article suggesting that African Safari Airways will operate a number of charter flights this summer from EMA to summer sun destinations?

Not heard anything about it myself, but sounds like a more interesting way to reach Spain than a 738.

Thanks,


Dan :)

No - these are the flights being operated by TravelService Airlines this summer. They are often listed as being operated by African Safari Airways on various websites though! :ok:

Yes i seen this aswell african safari airways flying to may routes this summer :suspect:

Thank you. A travel service 738 probably isn't worth it, unless I can get a really good fare.
