Lucky to have that. The number of passengers at DSA would never justify a rail station. Even at MAN only a small proportion of passengers use the train. Up the road at LBA, which is heading towards 5m passengers , with 7m the target by 2030, a rail link isn't viable. Instead they will have to...

Frankly, knowing what it was like here in Cookridge, hats off to any pilot that got in last night.

Not directly LBA related yet, but will certainly impact LBA in future to some degree. It seems the wheels may be wobbling and about to fall off the DSA2 project. The controlling Reform Councillors have finally cottoned on to what has been said on the DSA forum for many months, and are wanting to...

What amazes me is that its taken until now for them to realise what a bum deal this is and that the likely failure of DSA2 doesn't justify the risk or expenditure. Perhaps if they read this forum, the penny might have dropped months ago! How can we, on here, see what's happening and the...

And everywhere North of us.

Funny though that the 'best' airports are the two that are being bailed out by respective Governments, one to keep it open and the other to reopen it 5 years after it closed. That tells you all you need to know. The best airports are often the least attractive to airlines, therefore the quietest...

Well we all know that the Regurge lot are, just like the YP, in the pocket of LBA. 🤣

The Sun Express landed after a long hold.

Today was the latest ACC meeting, so here is a summary of the key points discussed, which in the absence of Vince Hodder, perhaps were not quite as revealing in certain areas as is usual. Nevertheless, hopefully you will find something of interest. * CLEUDs The latest CLEUD application is...

Yes, but only 3 flights were showing the GMT departure time on FR24. All the others were showing the BST departure time.

Seems to be the MO of they who are pushing this. Unacceptable. Should be illegal if it isnt already.

Probably a glitch caused by the switch to BST. If you look further, you will find the Ryanair UK and a Jet2 are also showing estimated departure times exactly 1 hour early. The LBA departures is showing the normal departure times.

Not much change. Slight reduction in mean wind speed but according to the weather radar, maximum gusts up to 48 knots for the next 24 hours. Pretty widespread wind but its a maximum speed. Doesn't give any indication of frequency.

IF there ever is a renegotiated lease, chances are that CDC will end up paying Peel compensation for agreeing to it. After all, there's absolutely no legal reason for Peel to agree to revised terms that make life easier for CDC.

Did I read that right? Did The Mechanic state there's room in Yorkshire for two good airports? Given his frequent put downs of Yorkshire's ONLY passenger airport (LBA) it's hard to imagine the 2nd 'good airport' he refers to is LBA! If it is, that represents a real climb down off his high horse...

Lets hope some poor soul isn't on a day trip to Leeds from NI and booked on both the morning and evening flights on this aircraft. .

Well no. The actual extension where passengers wait needs windows. Passengers expect light and a view. It's a necessity. There wasn't enough natural light previously and it attracted loads of complaints. But the security zone isn't the place for people staring out of windows and as I said, the...

Can't be a weather issue here. The wind is 290 @ 9 knots. Visibility really good. So aa you say, its going to be a tech issue or passenger related.

Natural light is good, but not the inevitable solar gain that comes with a row of south west facing windows. No doubt all the equipment in there will also generate heat. Combined, it will make a hot, oppressive atmosphere, cooled purely by air con which will have to work harder to cool heat that...

Steve Heapy has issued a statement saying that due to the orange man's illegal war, bookings to both Cyprus and Turkey this summer, are drying up. Existing bookings are being cancelled too. Aircraft are 'emptying'. Not good. Six routes, and if its hsppening to Jet2, you can bet its happening to...
