    Ground Operations Aircraft marshalling - illuminated wand colours

    Although this is one of many ramp activities I undertook over the years, something I never learned was whether there were any rules or standards regarding the colour of illuminated wands, whether local or international. Daytime bats and wands were almost always bright orange but I've seen night...

    Airport Consultative Committee [Questions & Responses]

    I remember the BA Viscounts doing the same approach. I could see them from my primary school. It's ironic that the aircraft that are 'demonised' as too noisy for night ops - 737-300 and early A320, for example - are the very ones that were lauded as the answer to H24 availability during the...

    A new airport.... South Yorkshire Airport City?

    Peripheral aircraft and airline services such as those gaining a foothold at Teesside are exactly the sort of businesses DSA Mk2 would need to sustain them in the event of below par passenger flight performance. As hinted the market for these businesses has a ceiling and I fear Teesside has...

    Route Development & Rumours

    Not that it's relevant but I remember Cimber Air operating some of the LBA-CPH flights with the short body CRJ. This airline once flew between Humberside and Esbjerg with Nord 262s and ATR42s. In fact, I think all the SAS CPH flights were operated by Cimber. The aircraft were disguised as SAS...

    Aviation Nostalgia Thread

    Hispania. Did this airline ever bring their Caravelles to LBA? If they did I don't remember seeing them, only the Boeings.

    A new airport.... South Yorkshire Airport City?

    One constant theme throughout this saga has been along the lines of 'some freight flights first, then passenger services later'. Leaving aside the passenger aspect, where are these freight flights coming from? Are they representing newly-found business or is it displaced activity from the likes...

    Nothing to add except I don't know if this date is 26 October this year or October 2026!

    A new airport.... South Yorkshire Airport City?

    The mechanic is trying to stop interest waning so will naturally seize on anything neutral or with a hint of positivity. I'd like to know what he and other DSA supporters REALLY think of the chances of a successful reopening.

    GDFO is borrowing borrowed time! CELI was only allowed two incidents in quick succession before she was carted off.

    Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

    I'd venture the number and variety of of private passenger aeroplanes we see at Leeds Bradford is at least partly due to limited scheduled airline services to many parts of Europe and beyond.
