Leeds Bradford: Airport Consultative Committee Questions & Responses

[oldendays]

Loved these, the Air UK regularly did down wind left hand short final for 32 from Belfast when I was a kid, passed directly over our house when turning base. Don't get any interesting approaches nowadays!

I remember the BA Viscounts doing the same approach. I could see them from my primary school.

It's ironic that the aircraft that are 'demonised' as too noisy for night ops - 737-300 and early A320, for example - are the very ones that were lauded as the answer to H24 availability during the Dennison/Savage era, on account of their Chapter Three status. And now, because the likes of the 737 Max and A320NEO make less noise, the previous generation of aircraft isn't acceptable to the GALBA gang. If this course of events takes its logical course then I fear these GALBA ******** won't be themselves silenced until all aircraft are noise-free.

Perhaps we should all club together and lease one for a night and continuously fly it over enemy territory.

Might be cheaper to just rent a few cheap motorcycles and ride them around the area. Let’s see what they complain about on that particular night!

These freaks will be first to jump on a £19 flight to Ibiza to snort some columbian sugar.

Bloody idiots. Tell you. Lot of them are bloody idiots.

I hope you did too, the more we get our voice heard the better.

The documents issued ahead of this month's ACC on 22 December, include passenger figures for the 2025/6 fiscal year. Up to and including last week, LBA has had 3,573,164 pax. With just under 4 months until the year end, it appears LBA should comfortably exceed 4.5m pax this year.

By way of a heads up, the December ACC will not have any members of the Executive attending due to its proximity to Christmas, so there will be no Business or Aviation update. I am unsure whether or not I can make it either so if there is any update this month, please don't expect much!

Especially at the forthcoming Airport Community events at Baildon and Meanwood.

The next ACC is tomorrow afternoon. I was due to attend and report back (despite the fact none of the Executive team will be there, so 'news' might be in short supply). However, my Mum, who is 106, is in a bad way and was admitted to hospital at lunchtime.

Its quite likely therefore that I may need to be at the hospital tomorrow rather than the airport . I have informed Charles Johnson at LBA of the situation and asked that if I am not there, he records my apologies.
