Our wonderful actress Mayor us too busy with her bus and cycle lane obsession to worry about a train station for the region's airport. Just as a tram to a shopping centre and Bradford, both of which are already well served by trains and buses was more important than the airport and North West...

They that shall not be named wont know the difference. If it was a glider they'd complain!

Not behind a paywall for me?

The BBC are now reporting that the Reform Clowncillor who quit the party during the week to become Independent, has now rejoined Reform! You really couldn't make it up. Both Reform and CDC are a total shambles.

Yes, November and February are the usual fog months. These days, its wind that is the more frequent weather issue though wind diverts haven't been very frequent either this year. No doubt the friends of DSA will be able to tell us exactly how many diverts we have had , the aircraft, and date.

If, as you claim, nobody was told what to do (not sure how you would know that), how is it that Coppard stated that he expected the Reform Councillors who voted against to have the party whip withdrawn? If it was a free vote, they cant withdraw the whip. That applies only where they ignore party...

No. Wizz issued a statement earlier today to say all affected aircraft were dealt with overnight and flights were operating as normal. No, its the A320 family so includes the A319 and A321. But older aircraft need more work than recent builds which can be done in a couple of hours.

Not directly LBA, but if we manage to keep all our routes for 2026, we should be happy, as EMA has had Almeria and Split axed by Jet2, and the start of their Agadir route has been pushed back to winter 26/27.

Coppard has issued a statement moaning about the Tories and Reform Councillors who voted against, claiming this makes it more difficult to attract investors, and suggesting they should have their party whip withdrawn. That would suggest perhaps that Councillors were under instruction to vote in...

I never thought I would see AI saying pretty much exactly what we have been saying on here for the past 2 years. We cant all be wrong. I honestly think the entire thing is indefensible and bordering on the criminal. These people are supposed to be guardians of public funds, but instead they are...

Dont think the NEO does. The likes of Jeddah appeared to be too far when I checked, particularly taking account of diversionary fuel.

No trains to London from Guernsey. However, the catchment and demand must be tiny in comparison to that here.

Last time you said this, I checked the LBA based aircraft and found that 50% were the newer 737 800s, all around 8 years old. The age of our fleet varies all the time as it does elsewhere. And we have seen only recently that even the newer 737s have technical issues. That said, it does feel...

Thank you. Appreciated.

Does anyone know why we had 3 inbound positioning flights from MAN this morning? All 737 800s. All our flights landed yesterday so they weren't diverts coming home.

Read yesterday that Wizz are planning a base at Warsaw Modlin, so looks like eventually they and Ryanair will be exchanging Warsaw bases.

Vince Hodder himself said Ryanair would be expanding at LBA in summer 2026 although he wasn't specific as to how much by.

Why wouldnt you comment? Because G-GDFD that went tech is an 800. Its a 300 that's gone on the rescue mission.

Thank you, although I have to say it reads like a ***** charter.

I would love to know where they think the profit will come from . Are they taking into account the huge ongoing costs of maintaining airport infrastructure, updating equipment and expansion (seeing as they're going to be such a success)? LBA currently has 4.5m passengers per year, far more...
