That is the case with the initial slot filings, but this is the start of season report which should closely reflect the on sale schedule. Other than Ryanair to Cork, it all seems to stack up to me. The main increases are Easyjet 2 x weekly to BCN (19,000 seats Jet2, 171 more flights 37,000...

The airport coordination reports for lba, ema and lpl show the number of seats filed as LBA +227,000 more seats (summer 26 vs summer 25) EMA +219,000 more seats LPL +170,000 more seats I appreciate that in the modern age of social media where we have airports posting news (as they should) and...

I’m not sure its true that all airports other than LBA have seen sizeable expansion.

Personally I think their PR strategy is an unmitigated shambles. Their pitch to the general public is basically ‘we’re a group of middle class boomers that bought houses in wealthy parts of Leeds near the airport but we really hate the airport going about its business’ Unsurprisingly this...

Why is an AI tool (very much reads like Gemini) referring to him as the ‘mechanic’ ?

All seemed sensible, balanced articles to me. The YP has been doing a good job in terms of scrutinising the project and this seems no different; they’ve reported the opinions of the people running the show and highlighted the risks. Exactly what you’d expect from good reporting in my view.

Can you give some examples of this? I would hope that MPs ‘listen’ to all points of view - it is their job afterall.

How to go from a deal spotted in a travel agent window to a downturn in 10 posts.:)

From a quick glance on the flightradar archive, I can’t see any cancellations or diversions in December. Thats to both BHD & BFS. But maybe there are some data issues. Do you have a different source?

Press statement today confirming that this CLUED has been submitted
