*Infrastructure & Development Related Also* The airport have invested in another X Ray Conveyor to add another security lane. This should be open within the next few weeks and is placed at the end of the room (which has subsequently been extended). They have narrowed the corridor after security...

They must be short of a/c then cos yesterdays T34714 to ABZ operated via MME! ETA in ABZ +1hr to the STA.

As sad as it is that one airport, albeit a competitor in the region, is potentially losing not just some routes but a whole airport operating from there, I only hope they return to LBA. They could easily reinstate the SOU route and potentially even the Exeter route with based a/c from there...

I'll try get onto this, I'm back in on Monday now though. Swissport are now finalising the move over to the old OCS desk. This has been split into two so OCS still have the lower down desk next to the Information Desk in Check-In Hall A and the other quarter has been filled in so they have an...

Don't forget with the Sports Bar downstairs being closed and now not opening until late in August along with the Airport run Cargo shop downstairs, the only place to go after Duty Free is the Saltaire bar. Unfortunately with the general flow going through Duty Free not a lot of people stay in...

BA at LBA has just been awarded an accolade for exceptional customer service as one of the top two airports within its INTERNATIONAL network and I think ranked 3rd in revenue collection (at check-in for excess luggage etc), I read in an internal newsletter. Think Newcastle came first on the...

From a handler I was speaking to, apparently easyJet (especially on the last couple of services a few weeks ago) were having issues sending manifests etc through into the reservations and check-in systems. Quite a lot of the outbound departures from LBA were delayed due to every passenger having...

Well a'board Finger (sorry no pun intended)!!!! Some very good points made by yourself! Maybe we're all forgetting that whilst Vueling are having a lot of their own in house and internal difficulties they probably looked upon the actual demand and highly sustained offering from other operators...

They've lost a lot of custom over the past few years. It doesn't help when the staff are just as bad sometimes. It's been known at LBA that the captain has delayed the flight for his own personal reasons. The airline also will very happily cancel a flight whenever they feel like it, so I'm not...

I think because it was technically off-schedule it diverted. This will be the case for any delayed flights after the new curfew I've understood.

I think it was more down to the fact that from a consumers point of view; if you think of a pharmacy to go to on the high street for example, Boots would be the number 1 in the U.K. ...And probably would entice more footfall than a Superdrug store would. You'd be surprised even after walking...

What has been said is that the Boots image "Fits in" and is "More in line" with the kind of brands/shops the airport want within the airport. Saying that apparently the new floorspace above Check-In Hall A and opposite Travellex along the walkway into Departures is going to be a Subway.. A...

Here carrying the Wrestlers as they're at Leeds First Direct Arena aren't they?

All the new routes to Bratislava and Vilnius are seeing loads of around 150-170 pax inbound and outbound! Meanwhile the ALC and PMI routes are seeing 15.. shows the seasonal trend ey..

Apparently the flightdeck lit up like a Christmas Tree.. Sorry I know the info is a tad late! A/c was brought in from Dublin I believe in the end!

I wouldn't hold your breath Seasider, it's so difficult to predict the busy days at the airport at the moment. Jet2's Rhodes earlier this week went with 1 pax on the 75, and Monarch Dalaman went with 2 pax onboard!! Later that afternoon the terminal was rammed, so given it's still half term this...

The Flybe NQY route is actually fully booked on a lot of the services over the next few weeks..!

That's why Eastern were recruiting for Embraer staff :smuggrin:

One of the last few Fokker 70's was in last week in case you missed it! With it not night-stopping for obvious reasons it normally operates the afternoon services if there are delays within the network! In case you didn't know it's actually very simple to just operate the Fokker into Leeds as...

I think the particular lady I was speaking to said she'd booked with BA alongside her FF number, and that was probably the cheapest option for her and her P.A. who'd booked it on her behalf.
