It's not looking like we have anything new, it's a bit late now to announce anything new for spring/summer. I thought that 2014 was the year of consolidation, which it was, and 2015 was going to be the year of growth...according to past airport statements

Well there's two spare B757s at MAN, so they will just close the reservations off at 235 pax as I wouldn't think at this stage they have in excess of 300 pax booked on any of their flights.

Aircraft was Boeing 707 carrying a false registration of 9Q-CRY Interesting story here. http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/ ... 03937.html

Re: Aer Lingus (Stobart Air) The full schedule is not loaded yet and is the same for other airports. The basic morning rotation is in place so passengers can book Trans Atlantic flights recognising that long haul trips need to be booked a lot further in advance than point to point trips.

In a nutshell Schedule = The airline organises the flight and covers all the cost and fixes the fares. Charter/IT = A Tour Operator or Travel broker buys a series of flights using the whole plane, and they fix the fares and yield. This way, the airline that is used gets the agreed rate for use...

Just booked 3 of us BA1341 7 SEP LBA-LHR and BA1344 LHR-LBA 9 SEP.

The f-28 s operated Edinburgh leeds Paris and return. The one we have forgotten is the Air UK BAC 1-11/400 that operated Glasgow Leeds Amsterdam.

The 850k passengers is annually and not just the winter. Obviously no startling expansion plans yet.

It will be a loss of approx 30,000 pax per year. Not a good number to lose at the moment when we start to see the pax numbers flat lining this year.

Last flight 14th May. No more flights bookable or showing after this date. Looks like the end.

They appear to have resolved it. Showing SAS now.

There were 2 direct 747s to Toronto. The first one on the day of the runway epening, the second was a diversion from Newcastle, when their runway was blocked. The DC 10 just replaced a 747 and operated via Birmingham on the very last service to Toronto. It did land on runway 14 while the 747...

. Local Yocal said Does anyone know if a Constellation ever operated into LBA? A Catair Constellation visited during the 1970 dock strike, and prior to that a USAF Constellation or EC-121 with awacs style bumps on it, visited in the 1960s. It stayed a few days and came from Torrejon in Spain...

That should be a commercial secret so I guess we will never know. If they pull the flight then we know it wasn't enough.
