They are operating into Teesside during daylight hours so not a problem
A slot request would likely be refused by LBA as its unlikely be able to handle an Airbus A340-600.
If I remember correctly an A340 operator had a charter flight request refused not so long ago.
BIG POST THIS - Ryanair's updated Summer 2026 Leeds/Bradford Schedule which is on sale as of February 28th 2026

Yeah the Salzburg ski season seems to be a lot shorter with Jet2 ops. Finishing today were Leeds, Edinburgh, London Stansted whilst Belfast, Birmingham & Bristol have an extra 3 weeks operating up until March 21st and Manchester continues until April 11th.
Better new Jet2 increase Leeds - Palma...
That’s recently just changed then, as you say it looks like Jet2’s Leeds - Marrakesh route has reduced to 1x weekly Fridays next winter 2026/27 starting October 30 until February 27th. It then increases back to 2x weekly Tue & Fri from March 3rd until April 28th
Jet2 Airbus A321, G-HLYB positioned in from Manchester at 10:00 as EXS049A to operate today’s delayed Malta rotation and will position back to Manchester at 20:00 as EXS048A.
We now also have Airbus A321Neo, G-HLYI Due to position in at 12:35 from Manchester as EXS042A.
Wizz Air Airbus A321, HA-LTA is night stopping LBA after the WZZ3015 service arrived nearly 4+ hours this evening at 22:00 from Bucharest. The outbound WZZ3016 is now showing ETD 11:00 tomorrow morning.
Looks like Wizz Air's Leeds - Bucharest service drops from 3x to 2x weekly from June 3rd until October 27th with the Wednesday service axed. I guess the competition from Ryanair whom will also be operating the route 3x weekly this summer wont be helping the passenger loadings.
This will mean...
Aer Lingus Regional (operated by Emerald Airlines) have announced from March 6th 2026 its passengers will be able to take an increased up to 10kg carry-on-baggage on all UK, Ireland & European flights

Ryanair must still be making changes to the summer schedule.
I have just received email to say my pre-booked seats have to be changed for the inbound Alicante to Leeds flight FR2660 on April 7th,
Had a look and it’s its changed from Boeing 737-800 to a Boeing 737-MAX8
Jet2 have added a few extra flights for next few weeks during the Half term school holidays,
Tenerife = Increases from 11x to 12x weekly (Additional 3rd daily Sunday departure)
Las Palmas = Increases from 4x to 5x weekly (Additional 2nd daily Saturday departure)
Well I think we can forget Skybus coming onto the Newquay - Leeds route.
As it was announced yesterday they are axing the Newquay - Gatwick route on May 31st after Cornwall council confirmed its pulling the PSO funding.
The chop & change nature of Wizz Air schedule is hard to keep up with.
Yeap the Wednesday Cluj flight in April-May & September-October has been dropped. Days of operation on next winter 2026/27 have changed from Thu & Sun to Mon & Fri.
Bucharest is down to 2x weekly at the moment but increases...
