First ever EasyJet service was Luton - Glasgow Nov 10th 1995 followed two weeks later to Edinburgh using one of two 737-200. Liverpool was their second base opened Oct 1997 with flights to Amsterdam, Geneva and Nice. They've come a long way since.

Yeah different sound from the Tyne compared to the whine of the Viscount's Darts I could hear the Viscount starting up at home and sometime flying low over our house when using 06/24 as a kid. Could walk to the airport through Elmdon park back then.

In addition to the above Silkway 744F the movementsblog shows a Silkway 77L due in at 18:30 out two hrs later t/f Baku. I think this has happened before 🤔 and would mean it's on the ground with the Maersk 767 keeping the ground crews busy.

Silkway are pretty frequent but there doesn't appear to be a set pattern that I can see so I assume it's a on demand charter of some sort. Maersk is daily except Fridays I think using a 767 t/f Billund. They also have sent a 77L in addition occasionally. The 747 from Malta is by Mesk not to...

Just a quick second hand review of sorts via my wife who has zero interest or knowledge of aviation and flew out yesterday evening around 6:00pm. with a group of friends to Palma with Lauda on a A320 Firstly they were all mightily confused as they thought they were going on a Ryanair aircraft...

That would give em the hump

I've been fortunate to visit Cadiz a few times on cruises over recent years as its an entry/exit port to the Mediterranean it is definitely worth a visit in my view its proper Spanish ie not Benidorm with great food architecture and good beaches also you can visit Seville just over an hour away...

Did BHX-LHR a couple of times with BEA in my teens in the sixties during my spotting days, once on a Viscount and once on a Vanguard which was probably the biggest aircraft operating from Birmingham back then.

Hopefully more to come as they get more aircraft back into service.

Not to mention employer national insurance tax and pension contributions say plus 20 - 25%

Yes no surprise exactly what they have done before when India and Pakistan lock horns.

The Elmdon terminal is a grade II listed building which would make demolishing it somewhat difficult. It's an historic part of the airports and City of Birminghams history if anything it should be restored to its original state open to the public including the steps(older members will know...

It's not really treading water EasyJet have just extended the booking dates of their existing network particularly the holiday division to avoid missing out on the early bookers to others. It's not airport specific, keep your fingers crossed because what they are doing at LBA is a carbon copy...

Yes copy over to June makes complete sense to attract bookings for their growing holiday arm or risk loosing early bookers to others.

Probably because Norse UK are based there. 3,724? - border force will be busy

It go Patience may be needed but It's got to come from EasyJet ( 5 based in winter?) and Ryanair they will have (hopefully)bigger winter programmes while Jet2 will add little in terms of additional volume and TUI are stagnating at best. In the end its a forecast not a certainty however the...

Yes that's got to be correct the three additional aircraft that EasyJet and Ryanair are basing will make up the bulk and any long haul would add a relatively small but welcome increase For comparison Saudi carried circa 6400 passengers in February while a single 737 operating say three rotations...

Busy on the Paris flights tonight. Enter Air 737 bought in fans this morning departing late tonight along with the team bus KlasJet 737 mentioned above. Also tonight looks like at least six business jets heading back to Paris-LBG. On the freight side two 747s today Silkway from/to Baku and...

I'm half expecting a rope ladder!

Many thanks Matt a real labour of love.
