It is a little difficult to warrant a 140 mile round trip - 2hrs each way - just to be there. I support the airport by using it, 3 times already this year and another booked for September.

I have read post 29 on 3 occasions now and I can see how people are reading it in a negative way. I can't understand why these 3 councillors have "published" what the planning inspector has decided. It begs the question 1. How do they know the planning inspector's decision? 2. Are all...

I don't appear to have a problem.

Have I missed something here? I haven't seen anything that says the inspector has come down on the side of the council in its interpretation of the CLEUDS.

I'm glad I don't have any friends that would expect me to pay the drop off fee as well as taking them there for nothing.

It always amazes me that people will willingly pay thousands of pounds on a holiday and then complain about £7 to drop off at the terminal front when there is a free drop off not much further away.

May pax figures are out on CAA website - 452908 +9%. It is looking good.

We are only just beginning the peak summer period, plenty of time for a winter announcement.

2040? that's a long way off.

We like to think we are a friendly bunch, welcome.

It's not while September, I will report back then.

I have just booked a short trip to Riga with Ryanair. Whilst there flying to Vilnius with Air Baltic - new airline, new aircraft.

I wouldn't be surprised.

@Finger66 have you not considered Porto? I went there earlier this year and thought it was beautiful. You can fly there from LBA.

It has all gone quiet on this subject, the last report I read was July (no exact date). No doubt when it is released, it will be a "fudge" ie no clear decision. There has been enough time to examine the evidence but who knows what happens in the minds of LCC.

Maybe they are frightened that CWL will take back the passengers that BRS "pinched" from them?

I don't know why BRS get getting "excited" about the subsidy to CWL by the Welsh government, Doncaster Borough council want to subsidise DSA by over £100 million.

Taking BRS as an example (restricted to 12 million) they could operate flights from BHX or SOU where they already operate from rather than set up a new operation at an airport. That is by far the cheapest option, which seems to be the rule at the moment.

I first visited LBA in 1968 and I don't recollect it.
