Surely a 737 or 321 couldn't make it direct?

Presumably these will be the longest flights from Leeds. 5- 5.5 hours? These will offer great new alternatives to the Canaries, for people like me who think they are largely bland and boring.

This is relevant to A320 neo ops in low vis and cold weather. New restrictions. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/airbus-a320neo-cold-weather-pw-engine-restriction

What will replace them?

This is an excellent article.

Based on my rather poor memory I would say November is normally the worst month for diversions, especially due to fog, but this November we've hardly had any. Having said this it usually evens itself out over the year.

Its standard practice to have no movements between 06:45 and 07:00 as far as I am aware. Very unusual, maybe one of crew was taken ill.

Yet last weeks Rome 738' pax were 'rescued' by a 733, suggesting it wasnt full.

About time.

They're moving their regional base from Vienna to there. Very close together.

I agree, but its reducing the tourist potential by quite a lot.

Another barrier to tourism is the fact that they do not permit alcohol on their aircraft or anywhere in the country.

Well, I was told to 'hang on' until November to book a holiday to Split. My assumption was an announcement was coming.

As its BA most would be connecting at LHR from LBA.

I see BA have managed to find slots to service an LHR-GCI route. Shame they couldnt find slots for Leeds.

Excellent report. VH is very impressive and as you say its well worth making the effort to attend. I was abroad for this one but will be going to some future ones.

The ties are still there, but to a lesser degree. Plus theres surely a tourist demand for travel to Yorkshire.

Unlike Wales there are lots of family links with Canada in Yorkshire. These stem from multiple intermarriages during the war. Surely we could support a 737/A320 operation.

Could have NQY on a Sunday and rest of week have a mid afternoon LHR. I would say 3 a day is optimal.
