lionwing 71 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Very early in June Carlisle (EGMC) Airport will restart passenger services. A lot of building work has been going on at the airfield (terminal / taxiways) to facilitate this but wouldn't it be great to have this updated airport available in FS? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 is that one that Stobbart has been involved in? Link to post Share on other sites
lionwing 71 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) It is. First flights have now been postponed until September as they could not find suitably qualified ATC Staff. Edited May 31, 2018 by lionwing Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 how big an airport is it? will it be mostly cargo/ga? Link to post Share on other sites
lionwing 71 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 It isn't a large airport at all. http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/eadbasic/pamslight-34C920D997D82AAAF9BE49CB175D2637/7FE5QZZF3FXUS/EN/Charts/AD/AIRAC/EG_AD_2_EGNC_2-1_en_2016-06-23.pdf Currently is receives GA and military (refueling) and the odd executive jet. Passengers services will use a Saab S340 I think with flights to Belfast, Southend and I think Dublin. Small scale to start. Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 what's the expected aircraft size when it's all sorted? Link to post Share on other sites
lionwing 71 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 From memory (can't find the source) it is limited to 20T MTOW. Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 definitely good for freight and may be small charter, road links are good, are there any parcel hubs nearby? I used to franchise with DPD about 8 years ago, we used Coventry for our air freight at the time... Link to post Share on other sites
lionwing 71 Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Parcel Force have a depot in the area. I think part of the plan is to increase tourism in the Lake District. Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I remember the Royal Mail building a depot next to the runway at Filton, their hope was to have aircraft coming into the BAE facility, sadly for them they couldn't get permission and BAE closed the runway anyway....

lionwing 71 Posted June 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I think Filton is a industrial estate now! Link to post Share on other sites
