Leeds Bradford: Aircraft Movements, Flight Logs & Daily Heads Up

[LBA4EVER]

Can’t find anything as yet but they’re at a training camp near Salzburg until tomorrow (Friday) and then leaving from there for Elland Road. Perhaps they’re arriving by dinghy!

Plenty of others are arriving by dinghy, V.Concerning!

I heard it was an A320 of LEAV.

Just seen from FR that Jet2 B733 G-GDFM has completed 3 test flights over the North Sea for three consecutive days, 4/5/6 August.

A321Neo G-SUND due in this evening operating the LS268 CDG-LBA after B733 G-GDFK has gone tech in Paris due 22:50

Just seen from FR that Jet2 B733 G-GDFM has completed 3 test flights over the North Sea for three consecutive days, 4/5/6 August.

It keeps failing its test flights so keeps doing them until it passes and can go back into service

Wow, a Jet2 A21N at LBA!! Sorry couldn't resist!

Empty going out probably so able to depart happily despite it's tuned down engines. Nice to see. Shame we won't!

Yes D-ANDI tomorrow, doesn't n/s as D-ADDY due Saturday for the trip home

And for once in my life there is absolutely no pun/joke contained there - genuine aircraft registrations

 

[Len Fish]

Their other aircraft is D-ANNE!

It’s down to do LBA-MAH tomorrow so might have to stretch its legs a bit, unless they get the passengers to pedal assist on take off!

Is that the one that suffered hard landing damage during a storm at Belfast City?

 

[BarnsleyHolidays]

easyJet Europe Airbus 320 OE-IZQ enroute from Palma de Mallorca will make her first LBA visit in around an hour.

It would indeed be that one

They’ll get a free hotel then

G-GDFM has just taken off (16.52) as EXS050B on what looks like its fourth test flight. Looks like it could be heading out over the North Sea. Hopefully it’s sorted now.

 

[Finger66]

FO seemed to be the troublesome one last year but perhaps FM this year. The relevance of that comment is aren't FK and FL the ones due to be retired this year? If so that doesn't bode well for 2027!

 

[SierraHotel]

We should see regular A321 ops next year! (Every cloud......)

And isn't another common factor that both had recently been in for major C checks prior to the season starting?

 

[Finger66]

It's time all 7 went for their "S" check 😜

And today it looks like jet2 B733, G-GDFM remains unserviceable.

 

[YorkshireLad]

Anyone know what's actually wrong with her right now?
