Rumours that T3 have filed for administration this morning, no official announcement yet but Aircraft Movements per FR24 and lack of scheduled operations would suggest something is indeed up. Puts paid to any LBA return or expansion by them if true.

It would be nice to see CPH back after that rather meagre effort by SAS a few years back! How many times did that actually operate? Can’t have been many. Personally I’m surprised LS haven’t jumped on CPH as a city route given how successful U2 are on it from MAN… or perhaps with their...

I thought this was a rather cool little one, this evening we had MAX arrivals from all 3 flavours of the Ryanair group one after the other!

Another interesting one, G-DRTU operating LS444 from HER appears to be diverting to NCL. There’s been a lot of arrivals and strange approaches in the last 20 mins too.

Something going on again? 3 currently in the hold, LS from REU, U2 from BFS and T3 from AMS. The LS just starting its 3rd circuit. EDIT: Looks like whatever it was has been resolved, all 3 holding aircraft now making their approach.

According to FR24, G-GDFK has diverted to Dubrovnik on the way back from Zakynthos. FK throwing another hissy fit? The 733s do seem to be getting a bit temperamental if so

According to FR24, ZT are initially deploying said E190 on behalf of GR, so yesterday’s visit may have been in anticipation of it making an appearance on the GCI run at some point, perhaps.

They may have done, as NO is operating to REU from LTN, oddly though, it’s not a LTN based frame, and has just positioned down from MAN, where it’s returning after operating in to LBA, all seems needlessly complex to me, not just a simple W pattern Maybe a LTN frame has gone tech?

I just find the whole thing a little bizarre, granted T3 could use all the help they can get, if that’s what this E190 is for. The strange thing for me is that ZT have just streamlined their fleet going all Airbus… and then randomly acquired a single E Jet🤔 Erm, a seemingly left field move...

Danish Air Transport (DAT) ATR 72-600 OY-RUN now on approach operating for Emerald with the rather late EI3392 rotation. According to FR24 this aircraft is booked to make another visit this evening and tomorrow afternoon on the DUB runs.

Here’s an interesting one I’ve just come across this Malaysia airlines route map from 1997: https://www.departedflights.com/MH033097.html You’ll notice that Leeds Bradford (and Teeside!) are listed. Now I’m sure these will have been connecting flights via a codeshare partner airline, most...

FR24 Showing a Pegasus 738 due from SAW this afternoon as PC34 at 1500? Charter? Or Glitch as I don’t recall hearing anything about PC doing anything in regards to LBA EDIT: Never mind, just seen on the LS thread it’s due for delivery to them, whoops 😬

Couldn’t agree more with the second point, however (While admittedly I would seem to be in the minority) I dislike the station since the renovations, the station lost its charm for me, plus that modern artsy southern entrance thing is hideous. It’s a railway station, not an art gallery, it just...

Perhaps if LBA-NQY is successful with T3, which it should be given that the loads were decent when BE operated the route if I remember correctly, they might also consider other routes out of LBA. LHR could be one of them, if MME-LHR works out they may also expand there, with the further E-Jet...

G-DRTB on final for 32 now as EXS053B positioning in from NCL. Seems to be a bit more movement with LS ferry flights around lately, a nice development.
