New weekly cargo route beginning next week 26/10 Qatar cargo 777F routing Doha - EMA - Oslo arrives 15:15 departs 17:05, also Cargojet begin their Hamilton route this evening using a 767F

TUI to use 2x 787 for DHL work EMA-JFK/MIA for 7 weeks
|
TUI were operating 2 x 787 3 or 4 nights per week EMA / MIA during the summer, before the travel rules were relaxed presumably allowing TUI to resume PAX operations with them. Is this new operation 1 x MIA and 1 x JFK or both aircraft routing EMA-JFK/MIA? I assume the former.
|
I believe its the former, 1 to JFK and 1 to MIA.
|
Clearly the cargo work that TUI UK undertook through the pandemic has opened their eyes to the revenue that can be earned when times are lean in the IT market.

Some other DHL schedule changes
Southern Air 777F CVG-EMA-LEJ (mon) Cargologic Air 744F EMA-LEJ (Tues) LAX-EMA-LEJ ( Wed & Sat) LEJ-EMA-LAX (Fri) LEJ-EMA (Sun) Kalitta 744 LEJ-EMA-LAX (Wed & Thurs) Polar Air 767F EMA-CVG-EMA (daily) |
Here's a question for the data enthusiasts : Is EMA now the UK airport with the highest number of weekly 747 ops?
With so many airlines retiring the type from pax ops at LHR, LGW and MAN, and the recent arrival of new 747 cargo flights in the schedules at EMA, the numbers must be heading in that direction, if they have not already got there. |
All those movements by proper aircraft - almost makes me wish I was back doing nights……almost!

Ryanair have confirmed their programme for Summer 22 from East Midlands.
|
|
Dont you love the press spin !
Less routes than last year ! Just that they have negotiated a new deal so they are selling them as 'massive growth' but in reality little has changed |
Warsaw/WMI and Lodz will be cut for s22
|
I understand that “commercially sensitive” discussions were taking place during the Summer with a company (or companies) regarding the former UPS facility.
There are a couple of obvious candidates that I can think of that may be interested, however it could be a new one for EMA, although I doubt this due to the size of the facility. Does anyone know if anything has been finalised yet? |
a little cryptic. What have you heard and I may be able to help
|
The “commercially sensitive” comment is from the last published minutes of the ICC meeting.
FedEx is the name that is mentioned most often on the rumour network as the most likely to be moving in, closely followed by Amazon, but I have heard a few other unlikely ones. I would have imagined that the airport has been in talks for some time to attract a new tenant for the facility, so I wondered if the outcome had been made public yet. |
So, I’ve heard it won’t be FedEx as per your above statement. Possibly the smiley planes may have a base
|
Interesting. Thanks for the feedback.

Saturday 18th Dec a QR 747 (flight QR8856) was scheduled on FR24 to fly AUH - EMA arr at approx 1640. En route it diverted to MXP
I assumed it might have been connected to the AUH Grand Prix maybe, bringing team kit back to the UK. But interested in the MXP divert / re-route. does anyone know if the flight did arrive in to EMA overnight Sat, or any time today? |

I’m unsure about the ATG service there doesn’t seem to be any slots in for it this week but they did tend to file late anyway, there should also be some extra Airbridge cargo 747’s from HKG over the coming weeks first slot Thursday 6th

I noticed that (according to FR34) AeroLogic operated the BOX340 routing LEJ/EMA/LAX yesterday. I understood that post Brexit EU carriers couldn't operate revenue services between UK and USA, hence why Cargo Logic and Kalitta have been operating the Leipzig/EMA-Los Angeles route for DHL and can't recall seeing them operating EMA/LAX over the last few months - though I have to say I don't go looking for it.
Has anything changed legally, or was this a one off licence to operate the route? |
FedEx new route on the 777F - begins 31st Jan CDG-EMA-IND Mon-Thurs 23:20 arrival 01:00 departure
DHL Air UK’s first 777F should be delivered Feb and second March with 2 other’s coming from China Cargo on lease. Regarding the Aerologic 777 EMA - LAX route operates wed/thurs with Cargologic operating 5 weekly along side. Unsure what has changed to allow this route but know they used to operate the route when it first started. |

Seems the Aerologic LAX flight was only a temporary replacement, Kalitta Air 744F’s back in replacement of the Aerologic Wed’s & Thurs starting next Wednesday 2nd Feb. Still running alongside the 5 weekly LAX Cargologic 744 which now also has a Monday rotation EMA-LEJ-BAH and a Thursday CVG-EMA.

Hey EGNXROB. Don’t forget the extra 767s coming to DHK!

So now the 1st DHL UK 777F has been delivered, has any routes been confirmed for the initial plane?

I am sure someone will come up with a rather more sensible reply!! |
FedEx
Following the introduction of the EMA-IND route, has there been any further indication from FedEx that they are still looking to operate Eastbound into EMA from the States, either from IND or, as was suggested last September, from MEM? |
Also interested in Balair’s question. This eve on FR24 I watched the FedEx 757 depart EMA for Leige, as the 777 pulled on stand from CDG. And then noticed a 757 leaving BHX for CDG. I think there is also a MAN-CDG FedEx route too. Anyone know why the rotes are not consolidated to a larger type flying from the US to CDG via EMA on the other leg?

With regards to the variety of points of origin for flights to CDG remember FedEx is a parcels service and its all about the box, the aircraft will go wherever the box’s originate or terminate. A prime example of this is with DHL at Luton, they cannot get LHR slots for the London inbound sort so the flights operate to LTN, in the evening the flights position empty to LHR to collect the outbound London sort because LHR is closer to the sort location than LTN. |
Looks as though, unsurprisingly, the Air Bridge Sunday operation HKG/KJA-EMA is a victim of the current political situation.
Is there a 'plan B' in place with a different carrier and routing? |
[QUOTE=STN Ramp Rat;11190371]The EMA-IND route is only at EMA due to a shortage of night slots at STN. FedEx have had night slot issues at STN for some time and previously operated a EWR-STN-CDG-EWR service that should have operated vis STN on the return to the US but due to a lack of night slots had to operate directly to the US on the return. eventually when it became aparent that the issue would not be resolved the service became a EWR-CDG-EWR route
Slot availability at STN may have been a factor, but I think it’s a little too simplistic to say that this is the only reason for the introduction of the FedEx IND route from EMA. With DHL and UPS having multiple daily direct flights to/from North America from their hubs at EMA, FedEx probably felt they needed to improve their offering from the UK’s logistics “golden triangle”. Edward Clarke, Vice President of FedEx operations UK said as much, stating they had selected EMA for the new service because of its strategic location and to give a boost to their operations in the Midlands. That being the case I would imagine an Eastbound service would be under consideration for the future. |
I have noticed that particularly at the weekend BA cargo flights show on FR24 from Frankfurt and on occasions from other European points. Clearly they aren't operating, but what is the history of those operations or slots and which carriers would be operating them on BA's behalf were they not "phantom" entries on FR24?

Freeport
A map showing the location of the Freeport tax sites which will be centred on and around the airport can now be viewed on the GOV.UK website. The main site is a huge area to the South of the airport stretching between Diseworth and Donington Services. The area is roughly that of the Segro EM Gateway which also now includes three new tax sites. There are are two sites shown on the airport itself. One covers the majority of the central maintenance area, including long stay car park one. The other is the area at the extreme Western end of the airport which is currently used for car parking. Indications show that provision has been made here for a sizeable extension to the Western ramp. I would imagine therefore, that this location will probably be used for additional freight facilities. One area that has not been included in the Freeport planning is that to the East of the new UPS hub, so it could be that this is already earmarked for a new ramp to cater for UPS’s future expansion. It remains to be seen what transpires, but with the continued growth in airfreight at EMA I can imagine more ramp space will be required sooner rather than later. |
