Leeds Bradford - General Thread

[Finger66]

The timing of Easter Holidays will help kickstart spring/summer as well. And boy are we (the industry) in need of positivity right now so will take it.

Didn't they want one lounge to be free of children initially?

The fact is its not a business airport it’s a bucket and spade airport at the moment full of a lot of rowdy drunken parties which a lot of airports are…

Not directly LBA related yet, but will certainly impact LBA in future to some degree. It seems the wheels may be wobbling and about to fall off the DSA2 project. The controlling Reform Councillors have finally cottoned on to what has been said on the DSA forum for many months, and are wanting to revoke the agreement to borrow funding, without which, the project is in doubt. A special meeting is to be called.

For more detail, see the DSA forum including an article by the YP, who according to the pro DSA lot are in bed with LBA so should be disregarded.

Its an interesting turn of events, but it staggers me that its taken them so long to see through the smoke and mirrors.

Has stand 12 been connected to a walkable gate? It’s been used a lot more recently, even in quieter times

Yes

Not sure where to put this, please move if I’m wrong thread.
Just drove through Scotland Lane from Horsforth to Otley and the amount of properties up for sale is incredible. Must be 20-25 signs at a guess. This includes some of the larger farms on the right hand side.
Either they are all spooked by the night flying application or the Parkway Station has been given the nod.
Either way, it seems someone knows something.
What have I missed?

Probably fed up with all the early morning 14 departures this last few months!

The Airport has been there for a long time. I don't think they have suddenly become aware of the airport.

It wont be connected to the parkway station if they are for sale. The affected properties are subject to compulsory purchase by the WYCA. They will also be further on, beyond the short hill and adjacent to the airport itself rather than in the vicinity of the built up area. .

Thanks WH. A clear and concise answer. Much appreciated.

A large group of us are planning to go to Morocco over New Year. Jet2 dont have any flights between Christmas and New Year and Ryanair dont have flights bookable after October.

Does anyone know if Ryanair flights stop in November or is is just that they havent been released yet?

Thanks

Not yet released I believe. Agadir is surely a year round route if there ever was one
