    Morning all, I’ve been quiet for a while generally lurking but not contributing. Exciting week ahead with the opening of the Liverpool base - great to see most of the inaugural flights sold out! From what I hear it’s not the only good news due this week, for obvious reasons I cannot divulge...

    Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

    Have anny other airports suffered today? Snow showers were expected/reported across a large area of the north down to the midlands.

    Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

    The same reason LS, TOM and FR operate from both. EMA although close to BHX actually serves a completely different catchment reaching much further north due to the M1 passing right beside. Wizz could quite easily pull just as many passengers from our area as they were from DSA by operating...

    Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

    Sense from the ex pro… We all like LBA, but it’s a dogs dinner of a facility in pretty much every aspect. The recent EMA diverts could be a potential precursor for Wizz. A flat 2900 meter into wind runway (09/27) with CATIII both ends or our 2200 meter ski slope with displaced thresholds...

    737-800’s then eventually A320neo’s. The running costs aren’t much more - mainly the +1 cabin crew to factor in although that can be offset with the extra revenue on the routes requiring the upgraded capacity.

    KLM

    KLM don’t have a choice at BRS, NWI, HUY, MME, ABZ, SOU, LCY & INV.

    KLM’s current op’s or should I say lack of don’t make for good viewing… I’m booked on a late outbound in the new year and I’m beginning to think I should’ve chosen easy from MAN. As for the Chevin, it would be nice to know just how much would need to be flattened/removed to enable a 3 degree...

    Route Development

    It’s already been pointed out but they operate from different airports 40 miles apart. A similar comparison could be made with our link to the Netherlands, how long would it last if KLM changed LBA to operate on Transavia via RTM which is 28 miles apart. I’ll reiterate TK to IST or don’t bother…

    Ryanair

    It’s an attack on Wizz and that’s about it. They see the route is strong for them so are using their muscles to hurt the Wizz bottom line while they are struggling with the PW engine issues. Shame FR are not as proactive at seeing the large gaps at LBA: LIS, MAD, BER, MXP/BGY, OSL, HAM, CRL...

    Route Development

    It really has to be TK for it to work. No half arsed stuff just a daily 737/320/321 to IST please.

    Future Infrastructure Developments

    We’ve used click rent the last 5-6 times. A minibus collects you from the ground level coach parking area and takes you just past the old terminal and control tower to their large car compound. New cars, clean, full to full, no pressure of added extra’s insurance etc. 5 mins and you’re on your...

    Airport seeks legal clarification on night flying

    Perhaps LBA are being cooperative with the council so as to not hinder any future proposals. You could very much imagine the council black listing any future developments based upon LBA forcing their hand this time all while openly embarrassing LCC’s sheer incompetence! I just hope these...

    There should be 9 737NG deliveries before next summer along with a further 3 Neo’s from Hamburg. As discussed 757’s AA and AB will shortly leave the fleet with the rest of the 75’s gone within the next 14 months. 733’s are also on borrowed time however they should outstay their big sisters...

    Monarch when retiring it’s 757 did a great tour. Departed LGW and MAN with arranged tour flights then upon arrival ended with a walk around the hangars. Plenty of merch too. Definitely think LS should do it especially as they’ll be not only retiring from jet2 but from the UK as a pax aircraft!!

    MAN already has one. It’s situated with the reasonably new Amazon, DHL and THG buildings.
