When LBA were actively courting Loganair, one of the routes they mentioned was ABZ so clearly they see it as having potential. Maybe Loganair didn't, or maybe they did but saw other other airports as having greater money making potential than LBA. There is clearly more demand for domestic...

Yes but at DSA the fog doesn't result in any diversions, because first, you need to have flights. Seriously though, I am shocked that they haven't deleted all evidence of fog given their frequent claims they don't get it. Meanwhile, up at LBA, it was a bright sunny morning.

Lots of 737 200s too. I know a Constellation of the US Air Force came in too.

Even MAN had fog this morning. LBA, MAN and LTN all got a mention on Classic FM travel update around 0900. RVR runway 14 was showing 200m while the ATRs were circuit bashing.

Liverpool. East Midlands and Newcastle alao had diverts, the first two being Jet2.

Several ground vehicles appear to be working on the taxiways on F24.

No excuse then, but the ACC have been told existing airlines have expansion plans, so lets just hope 2027 brings more and excuses are not needed.

Thats fine, until your off peak flight is delayed and all its passengers are still in the airport when the rush starts again. Remember that during the current work, with the terminal restricted, its likely that there is a maximum capacity stated on the fire certificate that will be well below...

Its still the plan to build a new road from the A658, North of the Avro factory, linking to the proposed new employment hub and the parkway station. Effectively the Northern end of the canned link road. So it seems the intention is to use the parkway station for commuters coming from the...

Very true. As I said earlier, the crew only have one chance. No time to have second thoughts. No thinking time. I suppose that a failed nose wheel bearing, and how that sounds at high speed, isn't something covered by simulator training. If not, perhaps it will be now.

Perhaps close, but according to the report not the cause and within limits. Braking action was not an issue. Entirely down to the failure of the nose wheel bearing which caused vibration to such a degree that the pilot was caught out and failed to use sufficient rudder to keep the aircraft...

So, still nothing to do with the runway. Within limits, no aquaplaning or skidding ( various news outlets take note) and effectively, pilot error due to a failure to use sufficient rudder to control the yaw. That said, the juddering must have impacted decision making and in a landing situation...

Probably the same woman. Its so bad, she never bothered to leave.

The sea makes far too much noise in Scarborough, plus there's all those annoying tourists. Yes. We formed the Airport Support Group that year and participated in the public inquiry. Its was always the case until the millenium that if the airport won a planning application, the council gave...

Thank you. Getting over things thanks with the house cleared, funeral done, affairs nearly sorted. Just need to get past Sunday with Mothers Day now.

Even if she moved in between 1984 snd 1994 when night flights were banned, common sense suggests that the ban could be overturned via a planning application, as it was. Prior to 1984 LBA could fly at night but didn't as the short runway meant jets on holiday routes couldn't operate. Scheduled...

Timings all wrong. The team bus will fly South on Saturday and would head back North on Sunday evening. Unless of course there are flights down South and back that are not yet showing and these are the positioning flights. Most likely to one of the South London airports. Then it fits.

And the woman bought a house within yards of the runway approach lights. One built after the runway was there. Then complains. Idiot.

It refers to supporting the airport achieve its target of 7m pax by 2030, suggesting that the station will be open by then.

So the NIMBY woman interviewed on Look North tonight lives on the Scotland Lane estate. She complains bitterly about the constant noise. Maybe it is one of the BBC business editors neighbours! This estate was built right at the end of the runway AFTER it was operational. What the hell does she...
