Understand that FatFace will close for the Winter season and may not return next year. Unsurprising with all the stock being Summer orientated.

Apparently this new area of which was advertised as “free seating” is eventually becoming the new lounge which will take up the whole “galleries” view. The old lounge will be kept with the kitchen as a family lounge and the current family lounge will become the new free seating. Don’t know if...

Given that the majority of Jet2’s expansion is over this Winter period, an extra Thomson aircraft in addition to a TCX aircraft are just replacements for the two free stands Monarch aircraft were previously utilising. The rumour round the airport is that Thomson next year will be a 75 and a...

Really can't understand the logic behind many of the T3 decisions. Heard also that whilst they are getting 2 or 3 ATR's they're going to be used on a Charter basis only.. Sums it up really!

The major issue the airport have is that in their eyes, arrivals into LBA for them make very little money. It's all about the outbound. They're very reluctant to invest in arrivals, partly because arriving passengers spend on average 20-50mins in the airport (including peak periods) whereas...

There are a couple of Jota Aviation & EasyJet charters being planned for this summer. Heard it's part of Inghams? Not sure how true this is mind

Think I may have already posted this but a BA Boss who was at LBA a month or so ago said a night stop could potentially add £500k onto the route. Considering; slots, overnight expenses for crew and a/c etc. So he doesn't think that it's going to happen anytime soon! Just look at what KLM are...

Heard today that Tony Hallwood has left LBA! (n)

Here's some pictures of the terminal! Downstairs by the Sports Bar honestly feels like a different airport! The new floor in departures where the seating is going to be is currently having its beams installed and as a result Gate 9 is currently out of use. Gate 9 and 10 are now the remote gates...

Sorry for the delay in an update on Developments up at the airport! 19024394_10155458650262174_1095441522_o by tomleeds posted Jun 8, 2017 at 7:21 AM Firstly Landside, the full demolision of the Swissport and other ticket desks has been completed swiftly and the airport are now in the process...

Having spoken to Operations not so long ago, they were explaining that it would cost nearly £1.4m per stand that the airport wanted to build and he was pessimistic on it happening anytime soon. He also said that LBA's and Jet2's agreement on them parking their aircraft on remote stands and...

Good loads yesterday! 39+2 so nearly a full flight considering its School Half-Term too!

Sports Bar is due to be completed within the next 7 days and scaffolding will begin to come down from the Downstairs Gates Area in depatures. This should also see Cargo move back to its original space with an extension behind and into the old beginning of the Arrivals steps - as no more...

If you're using flight radar as your method of STD/STA this is wrong. The actual STD for the Paphos flight today was 15:55 so actually only around a 25min delay. Recently there have been problems with the check in a system. Due to the timetable change CLC have not changed their Altea Customer...

Yes you're right! Evening smaller things were affected! As a result the catering which is ordered on a basis of pax/flight more or less automatically could not be verified and as a result over the weekend most flights in and out of LHR for BA had no catering on board! Just shows how much we do...

Monarch's engineering base is seen as a huge asset to LBA. They regualarly help out with Jet2 and KLM in the past when there have been issues. To keep on topic they do have to conduct a "walk round" of the Sunwing aircraft on arrival. However the flight deck is Sunwing flight deck and the cabin...

Eastern CEO's were outbound the other day on the ABZ. Rumour has it they are looking to replace the Jetstreams with ATR's as a longer term solution. Discussions are fairly well developed as far as we heard as well, so keep an eye out over the next 12months.

G-EUOC had an hydraulic oil leak which Monarch's engineers based here could not fix. We were told that a part was being sent up on the BA1345 but this never materialised! The outage from BA's FLY system seems to have been resolved however the system is still having issues developing loadsheets...

As I read on a post on this forum, BA figures using LHR are steadily increasing month by month! Must be doing something right! Lets hope for a night stop very shortly :sneaky::sneaky: (I can wish).

I never even knew that was the original road before the runway extension! Thanks LS27.
