Peel would have seen this site as loss-making in the short to medium term and profitable in the long term due its development potential. Because the losses became unsustainable, its value as an airport was very low. Its value as a development site is considerable.
Having invested a huge amount...
It looks as though this may have been caused by the Schiphol slot problem, which is particularly acute during the summer months. It seems as though the Cardiff nightstopper is bookable again when the winter timetable comes into operation.
The other problem of aircraft availability is being...
KLM Flight Status is a useful webpage for keeping up with delays and cancellations. They have a standard range of causes from which they select for each problem.
Most are rather vague, such as 'because of a technical reason'. Some offer more detail such as 'late arrival of the cabin crew from a...
It has taken a long time, but capacity at Humberside has been increasing recently with three flights daily on most weekdays. Yesterday, Saturday, there were only two arrivals but one was the first visit of an E295.
Today's capacity is remarkably high considering that business travel is said to...
It might be worth another look at the load factor calculation on the ABZ route. The seats offered figure looks as if it may be overstated by the EBJ figure above it.
On the earlier topic of equipment choice at LBA, this morning is a good example. On this busy Monday morning an E175 will shortly arrive at LBA.
An E190 is due at HUY at 10.05.
One of my earliest experiences was a Cruzeiro do Sul flight on the 125 mile route from Maceio to Recife. A sign above the entrance door of the DC-3 said 'Misto' (mixed). Inside there were only 14 seats, in doubles down the starboard side. The port side consisted of a long bench covered in...
On several occasions this week, Humberside has had an E190 at the same time of day as an E175 was employed on the LBA route. Unfortunately it will be a long wait for the January CAA traffic figures in order to surmise if the equipment choice was demand-driven!
The new service commenced yesterday using an Embraer 190. A full report and a video were published by Jydske Vestkysten on jv.dk/esbjerg, which provides a good opportunity to improve one's Danish language skills.
Another factor to consider is the exact ownership position of the land and buildings within the Peel group. The Doncaster Sheffield Airport Limited (DSAL) accounts for the year ended 31st March 2018 show a sale and leaseback agreement with Peel Investment Properties (Intermediate) Limited...
Humberside has had a few Danish routes over the years, all of which have been introduced to support energy industries.
The Esbjerg route was operated by Genair in 1983 and in 1984 until their demise. There was a single rotation on weekdays only (i.e. 5 per week) using an SD360. An annual total...
The route was flown by four airlines continuously between 1983 and 1993. The last operator was Newair, a Danish airline, using a Handley Page Jetstream which must have been close to retirement age. AirUK had operated the route for a couple of years but did not re-aquire it when Newair pulled...
A press release with full details is now available on the Humberside Airport website.
Eastern will operate Humberside-Esbjerg on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 14th December.
The seasonal Newquay route, which re-starts on 7th April 2023, has had its weekly capacity doubled with the...
Quite right. Doncaster Sheffield Airport Limited would have become insolvent several times over the past 17 years if Peel had not injected fresh equity share capital.
The March 2021 C.A.A. passenger statistics for fixed -wing industrial charters are :-
Billund 176 (nine flights operated by Sun Air of Scandinavia using a Dornier 328 Jet).
Aberdeen/Teesside still subdued at 479 (down 39% on March 2020's already depressed figure).
Again no Amsterdam (hence...
The February 2021 C.A.A. passenger statistics for fixed-wing industrial charters are as follows:-
Billund 12
Amsterdam 26
Oil Rigs recorded a 9% increase compared with February last year.
Apart from that, the numbers continued to be dire. It is worth noting that, for the first time since the...
The January 2021 C.A.A. passenger statistics for fixed-wing industrial charters are as follows:-
Billund 47 (related to personnel working on offshore wind farm development).
Ostend 93 (probably agricultural workers connecting with a St. Petersburg charter flight which was operating from there).
The October 2020 C.A.A. passenger statistic for fixed-wing industrial charters is as follows :-
St. Petersburg 98 (October 2019 - 0)
The statistic for sport-related charters is :-
Perpignan 70 (October 2019 - 0)
