I guess it depends on their definition of resealable. |

East Midlands Airport
I see or don't that Ema has gone off the Rumors/News again, is nothing happening there?
|
Well a shed load of freight comes in and out most nights.
|
On the freight news
FedEx has a daily flight using a 757 EMA-Liege-EMA DHL has upgraded the daily Cincinnati fight to a Aerologic 777 |
Fedex
Now FDX are starting to use their own equipment through EMA, I wonder what their plans might be going forward? Would they possibly consider a mini hub there, expanding upon what TNT had?
For instance the FDX 5203/4 MAN-BHX-CDG could be moved to operate just through, and day stopping at EMA, trucking the freight to BHX and MAN, which is what DHL and UPS do presumably? |
I see or don't that Ema has gone off the Rumors/News again, is nothing happening there? |
Any news on further additional Winter/summer 2018 destinations considering the situation with Monarch/BHX.
It appears that NCE will no longer be served by any Midlands Airport. I recall up until a few years back there it was a popular route from EMA for bother Winter and Summer however, MON had an A321 based out of BHX operating it which of course wont be happening next season. |
It's the sort of route that Jet2 might pick up from either Birmingham or East Midlands. The airline has operated it from the beginning from Leeds Bradford and it has been three times a week this summer. One to watch out for.
|
Nice was served before Monarch by BMI Baby from BHX.
|
I believe BMI Baby served Nice from EMA too. I also recall flying from Nice to Coventry with ThomsonFly also.
|
UPS
It seems that the long awaited new facility for UPS at East Midlands is a step closer. They have submitted a planning application for a sizeable new hub, to be located at the Eastern end of the airport. The plans can be viewed on the planning section of North West Leicestershire District Council, Application No. 17/01515/FULM.

West Atlantic move from CVT to EMA
I see that West Atlantic have announced moving their UK base to EMA and have taken hangar space here.
|
Yes it was announced on the 23 November.

UK's Atlantic Airlines switches main hub to East Midlands
23NOV2017 West Atlantic UK Ltd, the UK division of European cargo operator West Atlantic Group, has relocated its main operational hub from Coventry Airport to East Midlands Airport. The freight specialist said in a statement the move was driven by a need to find increased space to accommodate its Atlantic Airlines (UK) (NPT, Coventry) unit's growing fleet of B737 freighters (six B737-300(F)s and ten B737-400(F)s) and the fact that many of West Atlantic’s customers are based at East Midlands ... |
Does EMA have any issues with East Midlands Helicopters operating from a site located on their extended centreline? It may well be far enough away but why I'm asking is the Great North Air Ambulance have applied for planning permission for a new base at the end of Durham Tees Valley Airports runway (literally right at the end), and the airport have naturally objected to it and it's causing a fuss, so I wanted to see how a similar operation works
|
Costock is over 4 miles east, though still within the CTR, and by and large no issues, but obviously not the potential priority circumstances. we also have a Medevac base on the airfield and that seems to work well, both Pilots and ATCOs know what the other needs and we get the job done.
|
R-R.
I would suggest that the thing that should be considered re-Teesside would be that Air Ambulance operations will often be at a high flight priority. This would/could mean that aircraft have to be held or broken off approaches due to an Air Ambulance launch. Of course, this would depend on the exact location of the proposed Air Ambulance site which I’m not familiar with. Costock is used by ‘normal’ helicopter ops which would have minimal effect, even if the site there were on a short final/very close to the upwind of the departing runway. Oops! I see AP has covered this. I really must type quicker! |
Passenger Figures - November 2017
November EMA reported 221,850 pax. An increase of 19.8% compared to NOV16
The rolling year to date passenger total is 4,855,711. This is a 4.4% increase on the year to NOV16 A 4.4% increase again in the next 12 months would see annual pax figures return to above five million. |
EMA was closed at weekend in November 2016 - so 20% up is very misleading.
If you take the November 2015 figure which was 220,694 then compare this to November 2017, then the gain was under 1,200 pax ! |
Extra Services from Jet2, over the summer holidays (27th July to 3rd Sep)
Extra IBZ/HER/DLM/AYT and a new BJV flight. Nice to see some growth here compared to BHX/STN, albeit very small and brief |

UPS
Planning permission has been granted for the new UPS logistics hub, which is to be built to the East of the Eastern apron.
The airport have previously spoken about demolishing the existing UPS hub to free up space for additional stands on the central apron, but considering the current and projected growth of freight at EMA, is it likely that it will now be retained for the medium term and offered to FDX or even Amazon? There have been rumours circulating to that effect. |
and DHL are rumoured to be looking at extending again further to the west even though they've only just finished the existing expansion

New for S19 are Santorini & Faro with TUI.

I don know that the ramp is being extended they are taking some of jet parks 2 over

I recently used EMA for the first time in about 20 years. I'm afraid I wasn't impressed. The owners seem to be trying to extend the aviation offering without themselves investing, and the end result is, from a passenger point of view, poor. The airport is obviously operating at above its comfortable capacity (in mid-April), so in summer it will be a place to avoid.
My main gripes are: - UK Border area far too small - essentially outdoor covered walkways airside not fit for purpose - extremely limited and uncompetitive retail offering in both departures and arrivals - poor signposting around the airport estate - shabby and visually unappealing buildings In comparison, I was very impressed by Liverpool Airport, which is a similar size in terms of passenger throughput. Time for a bit of serious investment. In the meantime Mrs LGS won't be booking EMA flights. |
Whilst the Airport Building isn't that appealing and agree it needs some investment it does what is required, as long as you arrive check in and board your flight what more do you want, if Liverpool appeals more then by all means use Liverpool but I for one wouldn't think of using anywhere but EMA as it suits my requirements
I suppose when MAG feel the time is right they will invest in the terminal facilities In the meantime it serves it's purpose |
The time will be right when they can make enough out of retail to cover their investment I would say.
There are those who like me like to buy their daughter Joe Malone perfume etc. when going though an airport I suppose- and those who aren't bothered. |

Speaking of cargo - Etihad cargo have added a Saturday morning rotation to the existing Tuesday evening, using the 777f Columbus-EMA-Frankfurt upping to 2 weekly

Thankyou, but still a very quiet thread for a reasonably vibrant airport. |

Having grown weary of BHX and its business model of treating its customers as badly as possible, for 2019 i have replaced my LS1229/30 flights with EMA flights LS613/4. The pricing is slightly dearer but, deep joy, the dep dep time is mid morning and not late afternoon. Also the car oarking cost is very reasonable and access, certainly via the A42 looks a doddle. Whats not to like? |
Future Ramp Space With the continued rapid expansion of freight volumes through EMA, it seems strange that the new UPS hub is being sited so as to prevent any future Easterly extension of the Eastern cargo ramp (apart from a small addition for which planning permission has been granted). I would have thought that a N-S alignment of the facility closer to the A453 would have been possible, which would then have offered greater flexibility for additional ramp provision in the future? I know there are many considerations which have obviously influenced the final decision, such as UPS seeing their short term freight volume increases being carried by larger equipment rather than additional flights, and the proposed alignment of the new facility allowing easy linear expansion in the future, but there must surely come a time in the not too distant future when addition cargo ramp space will be required? There is obviously scope for further expansion of the DHL facility and the Western ramp, but is anyone aware of how the airport are looking to accommodate future expansion by the other/new carriers?
