East Midlands: Ryanair Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[CM.]

More likely to go MAN than BHX, it all depends on why they are not selling EMA after 31.12.21.
It cant be a MAG dispute assuming any deal with RYR cover all 3 airports ?

But they’ve not said anything about pulling out of EMA currently and with them being a huge operator there then it would be a massive loss. Unless you work at Ryanair or EMA then we don’t know what’s going on. We shouldn’t speculate until the facts are in.

if there’s no flights beyond the 31st December they might be doing some messing about with the schedules. Ryanair tend to release flights a few months in advance.

This happened at LBA last year where there was no flights bookable and sparked speculation that they’d pulled out but not long after the rumours all flights were back on sale.

So just give it time and know the facts before making assumptions and speculations.

Isn't a reintroduced route? I'm sure that Fr have flown to CIA recently.

 

[CM.]

Unsure but according to the twitter user it’s a new route.

 

[Seasider]

I have just realised it is going to FCO, so probably a new route.

 

[Ray Finkle]

New route to Marseille, Mon and Fri from 2nd May.

Good for EMA of course but I’m very frustrated that BHX was unable to secure this route. connections from BHX to the south of France have been decimated of late with the loss of Avignon, Toulouse, and most glaringly, Nice remains unserved despite it being on Jet2’s network.

its been reported that Ryanair are planning to move crew and 2 aircraft from East Mildands to Birmingham so it might well happen from winter 2024?

To be fair there are some increases on Birmingham routes for winter so that’s probably possible

Currently showing 4 aircraft needed for Monday,Friday, Saturday and Sunday but with some long periods on the ground between flights. As mentioned no EMA based flights on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays.So leaves atleast 2 spare aircraft every day

I said a few months ago that within 10-12 years.EMA will become a permanent cargo airport.Theres no improvement from tui or jet2 nor Ryanair.I expect Tui to go back to Dca plus jet2 aswell.

 

[BHX492]

Personally I don’t see Ryanair operations at EMA downsizing anymore than currently rumoured because they have their pilot training centre, Which they own outright and have plans to add more flight sims But it also better for the customer that they do stay as it stop TUI and Jet2 from charging more.

For EMA to become a just cargo airport would be a little stupid because obviously at some point Birmingham will run out of stands/space which means people will need to travel up north to Manchester etc and if Doncaster does open back up I think only TUI (most of Fly4 EMA base are ex Doncaster crew which leaves Fly4 short of crew for their EMA operations) and maybe Wizzair would return but they seem to settle into LBA very nicely.

Yeah true that is mate.Hopefully those two aircraft at Ema to be soon hopefully at bhx will be a good start

That I very much doubt, TUI have 6 based aircraft up from 5 last year and 3 the year before (granted DSA pushed that) Jet2 have 8 up from 7 last year, just a shame to see Ryanair’s lack luster offerings this winter, everything on sale currently for S25 is either keeping the same frequencies or increasing, although I know can change at any time with Ryanair.

So far on offer for S25 compared to (S24)
Alicante - 15 (15)
Barcelona (BCN) - 8 (8)
Dublin - 13 (13)
Faro - 7 (7)
Fuerteventura - 1 (1)
Gran Canaria - 1 (1)
Lanzarote - 3 (3)
Malaga - 12 (11)
Palma - 13 (13)
Tenerife - 5 (5)
