Almost fully booked too! Only 9 seats remaining on it!

Haven’t seen the BA booked under 100 pax this week at all, so loads have been very impressive especially on the morning rotations! The 10am Departure is only 30-45mins later than what is used to be a few years ago when we had x3 daily 6/week, so is a massive improvement! A lot better for pax...

Spoke to members of the TUI LBA based crew back end of last month and they all confirmed they had been given contracts to operate and base from LBA for next summer (2019). Looks like they may of screwed their own staff over too...

Well interestingly, I’m not sure if anyone was aware, but the Airport Agencies representative who works at the airport (underneath the Swissport brand) has been made redundant last month. Her team were directly reaponsible for handing out the TUI/Marella Cruises labels, questionnaires and health...

A320 G-EUUY from the Terminal.

The above post was meant for yesterday (Friday) apologies. :unsure::unsure:o_O The NQY was booked at 88 yesterday as was the DUS, which was booked at 69. - "Tomorrow's" figures still refer to Sunday.

Since the SOU went x2 daily it is regularly 30pax on average both ways. Peak days such as Monday and Friday I’ve seen it full or at least over 40! You’d be surprised how many cruise pax use this route too you know! I see 3-4 couples every week using it to catch a cruise in Southampton, which is...

I’m pretty sure the airport have always said that if the demand is there they will construct some more stands..?

Also to point out if it hasn’t been mentioned already, plans are in the initial stage for the Fire Station to move over toward Multiflight side of the airfield, freeing up space on this side of the Ramp.

I know this is slightly off topic to what is being discussed above but last week I noticed their were construction and surveyance workers in the field closest to the roundabout next door to the new Airport Viking Car Park. I know there were initial plans for a petrol station posted last year or...

Expect an announcement very soon regarding an increase in ‘based’ seats from Leeds for next Summer or sooner... From Embraer to Boeing if you can catch on... :sneaky::sneaky:

A lot of people use the BA/EI codeshare already but I can only see it being used more and more now. The added benefit of the earlier departure plus clearing the first part of US immigration in Dublin is a massive plus for passengers! Am I right I’m thinking that KLM had all the paperwork and...

Think it’s to make up for the lack of early departure and x2 late departures today (Saturday). Loads were around 60/70 on both! FlyEarly is a big thing at the minute! If you buy a semi flexible ticket you can pay the difference to fly on the earlier flight, sometimes it’s only £10-£15 for most...

Thanks to all. I knew about the performance restrictions of the A321 at LBA from previous posts especially braking. Thanks Lbaspotter! Suppose it will be a TCX aircraft just an A320 for now!

I laughed when I heard this from one spotter but actually don’t know how plausible it is. Apparently TUI wanted to bring a 757 for the summer but the airport said no, as there aren’t enough 757 capable stands alongside Jet2. I know you can’t park a 757 on 9 & 10 simultaneously but are there...
