East Midlands: Ryanair Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[Ray Finkle]

To go with the new route to Malta Ryanair have now announced extra capacity for 2015 on the following routes:

Alicante
Faro
Lanzarote
Malaga
Palma de Mallorca
Tenerife

In the interview the Ryanair spokesperson said there will be 36 routes out of EMA for summer 2015. There have been 38 routes this summer so taking into account the new route to Malta are we expecting three destinations to be dropped to make way for these extra flights?

BUDGET Irish carrier Ryanair will tomorrow announce plans to return to Belfast with several new domestic and European routes in the pipeline - including a much coveted link with German capital Berlin.

Initially launching with flights to London Gatwick from Belfast International Airport, it is understood the airline will add other European routes to Barcelona and Brussels as well as domestic links to Leeds/Bradford, East Midlands and Newcastle.

Looks like Ryanair are to start operating between East Midlands and Belfast International. This is excellent news for EMA as new services have been few and far between of late.

Flights from January 2021 onwards are now being loaded, although not all destinations are showing yet.

No routes bookable on app still not check www

I can't understand the assumption that Ryanair are leaving EMA (and going to BHX) just because flights are not on sale yet. Maybe they are trying for a better deal from the MAG.

 

[Brum X]

Yeah some people "cough cough" are obsessed with the MAG 😒

 

[CM.]

Or maybe they haven’t sorted out flights they are doing and when Ect..

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 ?

 

[juliet-fox-9]

They were briefly showing but have now disappeared again. even if they are closing the base, i find it very odd that they haven’t put on sale routes like Dublin, which operates with away based aircraft.
