The delay I believe is due to severe weather in Islamabad. It is the monsoon season. An Air Blue A321 has also crashed in vicinity of ISB possibly due to the weather, according to the news.

Another reason for Carcassonne being kept on through the winter is that it is also a ski destination. Not being far from Perpignan and the Pyrenees.

Re: Passenger Figures Update I think we still had a couple of days in May that the ash cloud affected LBA and some other days when airports throughout Europe were affected. This will have adverse effects on our pax figures. Hopefully June should show a more realistic Ryan Air effect on our pax...

This year they are using 2 B737-300 (149 seats) and 1 B737-800 (189 seats). So if you multiply the extra seats on an extra 737-800, ie 40. This equates to 80 extra on one round trip per day., which in turn equates to 560 per week, then mutliply that by the 6 months (26 weeks of summer) from May...

The Shannon timings were not great. Check in at Shannon was 4am ish for a 730am arrival. Not good if you had to travel to SNN from afar.

Bydgoszcz.... what a god awful name, however, it is easy to pronounce I'm told. Phonetically it is called BID - GOSH. Easy really! :wink@

I was under the impression that the rear two wheels (in parallel) of the 6 bogey actually steered, rather like some of the long road wagons and some long European coaches. This helps by preventing scuffing of the tyres in a tight turn. On another note, with the arrival of tonights A310 in PIA's...

Re: Passenger Figures If they get off the aircraft at DSA then they are counted as their pax. If the aircraft refuels and goes on to where it was intended, then they are not. Although they may be added as transit pax only, which they can not claim any revenue from.

The Alicante flights have now finished.

Mondays have gone from start of summer timetable, end of March onwards.

I also wonder if it is combined with another UK airport. They do this in summer, and also do it with the winter ski flights too.

Balkan Ski Holidays have just put on sale a new destination from LBA to the winter ski resorts of Bulgaria. Flights will operate from Sundays 19th Dec 2010 to 9th April 2011. Flight times are from Sofia arriving 1245, departing to sofia at 1345. Flights are believed to be operated by Balkan...

The Tuesday TCX Crete Heraklion flight has been put on the Jet2 flight, creating the slot to do an Antalya flight.

Re: Passenger Figures Update Except DSA which had an increase on last year, and actually carried more than LBA!.

Could this be the way forward for Peels other airport - DSA? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8457495.stm

Very much so.

Thos Cook have just cancelled the Air Malta flight to Malta for summer 2010. I guess due to Ryan Air operating the route.

Air Malta flight to Malta has just been cancelled by Thos Cook for summer 2010.

Re: Thomson Summer 2010 767s have long gone from DSA. They were just there for the opening hype and year after. When they started selling seat onlys from DSA to Orlando for just £29 each way, they realised, NO. It's not working from here.

Re: Thomson Summer 2010 There is just one 737-800 based there all week, with a couple of others W 'ing in on Tue & Thur afternoon I think. So a pretty bleak outlook. I think they go back to 3 for the summer.
