Is this indicative of the general situation with Wizzair bearing in mind they have just canned the Middle East base?

And how much was the beer?

I am told it was an A330 that went tech hence the 2 rescue flights

As someone who was made redundant 3 times over my career, the idea that the people on the ground know what is happening doesn't wash with me. Big surprise on all 3 occasions which resulted in walk outs to the pub in tears

I agree fully but I did think it was worth raising a theoretical point

Unless of course they intend to centralise the engineering and maintenance in the North and stop leasing the Multiflight hangar at LBA.

Would the same not apply to TUI?

Sadly all this could make Jet2 more likely to operate into Donny when it reopens. They could operate some of the overnight arrivals into Donny instead of LBA as they currently now do to Luton. Also close enough to minibus the crews to/from LBA.

They also show on the Real Time Trains website. Quite common for bus connections to be showing at various locations across the country such as Peterborough to King's Lynn

Having seen how bad the wind has been up here over the last 48 hours, top efforts by the pilots to get everyone safely on the deck.

Here we go again!!! Videos of planes struggling to land at LBA in the storm on press websites. Have these disaster merchants nothing else better to do?

That explains why everything on approach seems to be a lot further South West of the usual path

With a base of 7 B737/300s.

I can't help but wonder if what Jet2 are doing sending our late arrivals into Luton was to test such an arrangement as a contingency for precisely this outcome?

More daytime flights + bigger aircraft = growth without breaching any quotas. One victory does not win a war.

I cannot help but note that there are only 4 arrivals between 10:00 and 13:00 tomorrow. This is where we should be looking to rack 'em and stack 'em. Loads of scope for more flights and bugger all that the antibodies can do about it

Sorry I couldn't make it up today but some family business came up at short notice

I am still going

I have noticed that we have arrivals today from no less than 15 different airlines. That must be close to being a record for a bog standard weekday

Could also affect local trains as Neville Hill depot in Leeds is one of the very few that receives it's fuel by rail from Lindsey.
