    Airport Security, Immigration & Border Control

    Not to call anyone a lier, but I flew on the FR ALC that left at the same time this morning and started my timer at the back of the queue and stopped it leaving security and got 42 minutes 39 seconds. The new screens with the wait times where fairly accurate to. I feel sometimes perceived time...

    Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

    Slots is the simple answer, quick look on the Eurocontrol NOP and it’s lit up like a Christmas tree. Quick glance and it’s due to aerodrome capacity, ATC capacity, and CB’s over Central Europe

    Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

    Had you left uk airspace? Unfortunately due to the complexity’s of immigration law, you have effectively left he UK in the eyes of border force once you have passed through security in an airport. You are in a no man’s land, this is why bars airside in airports don’t require licenses to sell...

    Leeds Bradford - General Thread

    Not LBA related directly but Wizz will close the Doncaster base from the 10th of June according to a source on Twitter. Never nice to see an airport loose services, even if they are a neighbour, but it’s only good news for LBA!

    Airport Security, Immigration & Border Control

    In response to the question regarding the scanning equipment and why Leeds does not have these yet. They cost upwards of one million pounds a machine. Larger airports can absorb this cost, and most airports overseas (not all) are state run, making it even easier for them to justify. It’s been a...

    Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

    Looks like euro control are reporting single runway ops in AMS due to construction work, must be an absolute nightmare for an airport the size of AMS!

    Future Infrastructure Developments

    The only thing that is a positive, and it is a big positive, is the fact that LBA still had the original terminal expansion in its back pocket. Yes it’s not the new terminal with the benefits that will come with it, but at least it’s something. I have a feeling that the “calling in” process will...

    Leeds Bradford - General Thread

    If the prices at MAN are cheeper that suggests over capacity, if the prices are cheeper at DSA that could suggest underperforming routes. Prices at Leeds high? High yield and over performing routes, the Goldilocks spot so to speak, suggest people are making money, which is the aim of the game….

    Leeds Bradford - General Thread

    Without taking the thread to far from the topic, would this not strengthen the case for a LHR or any London route? Certainly takes Sheffield region and anything further south out of the ring for anything beneficial in regards to an air route, as the environmentalist will scream blue murder...

    FlightRadar is about as useful as a chocolate teapot at the moment, it takes it a good few weeks for the algorithms and systems to learn the new airline call signs for the winter programs!

    Route Development

    To correct the record AP1995 that it wasn’t just one person who flew to Milan, a large number of the executive team did, from LBA. One team members choice of departure airport, for whatever personal circumstances does not carry any weight. It also wasn’t MAN.

    Ryanair

    Like I said time will tell, booking lead times at the moment industry wide are extremely short. People have, or they are planning summer 22, but the rest of this year is very much “I’m on annual leave next week, where can we go?”. You can’t read to much into anything until you see that official...

    Couple of random dates loaded for ALC at the start of November, just random flights or more to come? Time will tell…..

    A lot are chartered by holiday insurance companies also, I know the ones visiting lately might not be the type equipped to medical evac, but if it something that an airline can’t or won’t cover, and it’s not serious enough to warrant a medical bed in the aircraft, it’s the only option for some...
