Just a typical Politician economical with the truth and spin. There’s no way on Gods earth that Ryanair are coming in without subsidy in some form or other. That’s a given.

And the pantomime continues! There’s no way the Mayor is going to support Eastern to fly routes whilst getting another airline in. There has undoubtedly IMO been some financial incentives given to...

Really? This is getting towards fantasy land now! 2 departures, 2 hours apart in the afternoon/evening? This must involve a second aircraft and second set of crew which put the costs up massively....

In normal times I would agree, however, I don’t think this factor is particularly important to the few travellers around these days. I think it’s more a case of just getting there however possible at...

Indeed. It all smacks of some grand showboating by the Mayor undoubtedly in a bid to win support, but at great financial cost to the taxpayer. Perhaps this would have been easier to overlook during...

Doubtful. They’re struggling to get anywhere near reasonable numbers on the existing services without adding even more. Mind you, this is Eastern we’re talking about, so nothing would surprise me.

Blimey, that’s pretty sobering figures! Obviously not a specific issue to MME, but still very poor. Can’t see any of those flights making money.

And, let’s face it, operating the route on a E170 is not exactly helping the financial economics of the situation. There’s going to have to be a lot of money pumped into this route if the pax numbers...

Ive seen some social media posts suggesting that these flights will be operated on E170. Is this actually the case?

That’s some serious losses on those routes there! Remember that the advertised prices were very cheap so it’s not like Eastern of old whereby pax were paying £200 a trip. I just can’t see this...

Far better using a Saab 2000 on these routes than a jet. How they expect to meaningfully fill a jet 3 x a day is beyond me. Another bottomless money pit.

I’m really struggling to see where the demand to London (LHR and LCY) from the MME area is all of a sudden, especially during the current climate.

Yes, but none of the crews are trained.

Apparently quite a few MPs on the flight today, sounded like a prearranged PR exercise on launch day. Be interesting to see the numbers in a couple of weeks...

Well that’s exactly my point, is there enough demand for all these flights to SOU? LBA certainly seems a stable market, and obviously NCL as it’s been done for years, but how will MME fair will be...

So is there really a market for 2 SOU flights so close to each other now that LM will be operating from NCL to SOU and also to EXT?

Knowing how Eastern work, I expect they will be paying very little to the airport for operating out of there. I will be certain a very large sweetener has been offered by TIA for them to come in and...
