You are correct. They have literally just had confirmation that their flight departs 7.45pm tomorrow.

We have friends in Skopelos where they have been stranded for 2 days. Been taken off the island tomorrow at 7am and to Skiathos but there’ll be no flights from there until the 12th September so might have to go to the mainland and flown home from another airport. This is all been organised by...

Catalan Dragons flew in to Leeds on a scheduled Jet 2 service on Friday for the Saturday game against the rhinos. They even ordered taxis from the airport to the hotel. There was no chartered aircraft for them on this occassion. Last year when Leeds played Catalan in the play off fixture they...

Yes you’re right Jason. I loved #Gatwick it had airlines that only served the uk from there. CP Air, Northwest, Air Zimbabwe, Meridiana to name but a few. I was at a family gathering recently with Trevor Paget who I believe worked in dispatch for many years. His wife Jean was an air traffic...

I was a member in circa 1985-88 ish maybe longer. I used to be get Rotate but I think I collected it from Air Supply on the high street. I used to do the trips. Heathrow was my first with plenty of 727’s, 707’s etc. There was also a Luton visit on the way home. I seem to recall a visit to...

Always a good read WH and keeps us informed on developments. I thought when you were commenting on security for the Romanian flights it was going to touch on the travellers rather than departures. I have it on good authority that this group of passengers cause issues in eateries and duty free...

Could this be connected with the rugby league World Cup? Looking at the jet photos this plane doesn’t seem to venture further afield but others might correct me there. Just my limited review of the aircraft. If it is a rare beast what other biz jets have graced LBA that have rarely been seen...

It was cringe TV White Heather. DSA has had more air time than the queens funeral. So many factually inaccurate comments with deluded MP’s and councillors. The comment re it been a a strategic airport is simply ridiculous. Yes in the original Cold War period when an RAF air base. Perhaps those...

Also an Alba Star to Lourdes tomorrow. At least a few different liveries

The weather looks to have changed for us today. No very high winds compared to what they were predicting. Obviously the cancellations are done ahead and also includes the return airports conditions which might be different to ours. Same old BBC spouting nonsense.

Sorry Local Yokel, I appreciate the south west gets a raw deal too. I should have been more specific in London centric and Home Counties as my reference

Money never seems a problem for our southern friends does it. Cross rail will cost £20bn+ if the figures are to be believed but benefits something like less than 10% of the population. Pound for pound HS2 deliveries maximum benefit to millions of people not just the select few. Always the poor...

I take the point and understand what your saying. The original post regarded people visiting LBIA to protest tomorrow. I was merely commenting that if they were to focus it wouldn’t be these people they should be taking there point to. Forums are opinions at the end of the day and whilst some...

It does but the it doesn’t rise the more times you travel. Sustainability is still important and we have to ween some people taking unnecessary flights. Different scenario. In Switzerland the more speeding fines you get the higher the fine. 100 euros for 1 1,000 euros for 3, you quickly learn...

They just target the wrong people. I think the figures are something like 15% of the population make up 90%+ of airline travel. These people rightfully should pay their way or find different ways to conduct business but to penalise the average person in the street is just ridiculous. I take one...
