Well Ryan Air are having this long overdue meeting, delayed from December in Leeds on May 10th. Something might come out of this hopefully.

I wonder why Ryan Air did'nt just make air bridge use an "add on" to the fare. Everything else seems to be paid for and added on that way :)

I would imagine they will either cancel one and try and fill up the other. I suppose it is a long way off. and should bookings take a rise then they will keep it on. If it gets chopped, then I suppose a Tenerife is always a winter favourite to add.

They have also dropped one of the two weekly Doncaster flights in the winter, along with LBA, Teesside, Norwich and Bournemouth, all for the same reason. A lack of forward bookings.

World_Rep is correct in that Easy are not expanding this year, other than their "big" bases. They are even contracting at others such as Newcastle. The best we can hope for is what we are getting, a GVA, and maybe a few extra flights to there. A GNB would be the next step if there is a next...

Very much so. It ends at the finish of the school half term holidays. I though it would have run until Easter.

Those are excellent timings for next year. The problem this year was the late arrival, making everyone miss the ski coach connections to the resorts.

Yes the subsidy was originally to underwrite any losses incurred from start up. They have ended now for both airlines, as they are expected to stand on their own two feet. As Pug said, when the dropping of double Belfast to a single Belfast happened this signified the end, as passenger figures...

An intermdeiate stop is the biggest off put for any passenger, unless it's on a long haul flight. If BMI did GLA-LBA-LHR it would be the best thing that ever happened to BA as everone would give BMI a wide berth and use the direct BA GLA-LHR service. Multi sector flights play havoc with crew...

Re: Potential Routes London city flights are a non starter. An early flight down may carry a decent load, but the first flight northbound carries nothing. Simply, no one lives in the vicinity of London city, or what I should say, not enough people who could sustain a service to Leeds live...

We have all seen the disastrous passenger figures on the BMI EDI/GLA over the last 2 years fall from 4000 each a month to around 1000 per month. Has anyone notices how the last 2 months the GLA has shown an increase on the same period last year? Have we turned a corner or is it just a...

I feel the worst is yet to come from Egypt and possible Tunisia, when their elections get underway. They have never had elections in recent history and once the extremist parties start to show their hand i.e intimidating those voters who may not share the same islamo-religious and political...

I believe the subsidy was for 5 years, the same for Thomson/TUI.

LBAYORKIE absolutely right, and as you say, very slim indeed.

I would'nt hold your breath regarding a replacement for Gatwick. As of April 1st, all aircraft landing at Gatwick will be charged one landing fee only. That of a Boeing 747-400. This has happened at Heathrow for years now in the peak times. It is now uneconomical for any airline with a small...

I have now spoken to FlyBe and can confirm the flights end on 31st March.

Has anyone else noticed you can't book a flight from LBA to Gatwick after 31st Mar? Just tried to book a flight in May return in June, and no flights showing. Is this the end?

Re: Consultative Committee Questions [LBASG] I could'nt agree more with you WAWKRK. It's nothing less than a scandal what the council have done in stitching Bridgepoint up to do their dirty work (at Bridgepoints cost). Work that should have been carried out while in council ownership. As was...

Thanks Wilbur2012 !

Re: Infrastructure Developments I often wonder if the building of all these car parks, though probably needed, is just a way of acquiring the land and putting it to airport use, so it can be used for other schemes in the future. It would be difficult if the farm land was put to other uses or...
