although there appears to be a smaller increase planned per the ACL reports for summer. than what is needed, there are ways to make it more achievable.. Just getting some routes to have 2% or 3% more passengers where there's no frequency increase would help. Then we have those routes that had...

it would appear that in the Japanese collision, the pilot may have gone onto the runway with the misapprehension that given his taxiing instruction including "number 1" meaning number 1 to use the runway having not been on frequency when JL516 got its landing clearance. Doesn't explain why...

Following on from my previous post, I don't recollect seeing this reported last year but this breakdown of UK-India from April 2023 actually states this "When indirect and non-stop traffic is combined, Delhi was the UK’s leading market (27.1% of passengers), then Mumbai (21.0%), Kochi (8.6%)...

one of the more intriguing things to look out for in the next 12 to 18 months is what the ME3 will do for capacity should we end up with Mumbai, Delhi and Bangkok featuring as non-stop destinations with A350s/788s making them more viable and after relevant airlines have "backfilled" all...

Happy new year!

so totted up the miles walked last year. Only 2083 done. Took over 8500 photos as well.

Today I have gone past 4.5 million steps walked this year. North of 2000 miles is the distance

Man City flew to Jeddah last night on their brand Etihad 787, A6-BND Arrived as EY29 and departed as EY8004. Presumably they will use it when they are due back on 23rd December.

Slight tangent to this thread but this gives a nice overview of the airport's breakdown by region and airport https://airserviceone.com/manchester-exceeds-2019-traffic-in-october-and-is-the-uks-third-busiest-airport-ryanair-top-airline-this-year/ The standout is that North American available...

It must have been taking City as it arrived around 7am today departed to Luton just after 10am. Cutting it a bit fine given the game is a 2pm kick off

Fun and games yesterday afternoon and evening with numerous go-rounds and diversion both into and away from the airport due to high winds. No "live reporting" as it was our works do". Foul night that caused few issues on both tram and train lines with things getting trapped in overhead...

Do they have the spare aircraft to do this line of work or is it a case of as other long-haul aircraft arrive at LHR, they will displace 777s to LGW?

sorting out the photos I've taken this year. The only problem is that there's too many. Again. It was the year of minibus daytrips with 6 taken (2 from Liverpool, 2 from Manchester and 2 from Windermere)

if we want to include the list of "never ever" routes, there is finally some blurb out there that breaks down the PER-LHR route. I was surprised that near enough 43% of the passengers are connecting at LHR which is all the more surprising how much LHR-Australia outperforms the rest of the...

I have 2 lots of flight numbers resonating in my head for Stuttgart services by Lufthansa Cityline. LH5216/LH5217 and LH5560/5561 using DHC8s and FK50s in2 the 1990s2 After stopping the route, they restarted it...

Aer Lingus is a bit of a curious one in that they are like Virgin in having fleet constraints but seemingly able to conjure up routes out of their main hub at will. For them. they may have a "forced" hand to come here with the passenger cap at Dublin being close to being breached so not able to...

Further to the above "Manchester is profitable" we have this https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/aer-lingus-uk-posted-5m-profit-as-manchester-routes-took-off/a1631337068.html Roughly £4.5 million profit on £76 million revenue for the 1st full year of operation. They've also extended...
