I think Capital did SOU even earlier, around 1988 until their demise in 1990.

NQY and SOU would be ideal additions by Loganair.

Very disappointed, but not entirely surprised. The timings were never perfect and then when frequency was cut to 10 flights per week it never really stood a chance. I did manage to use it to connect to long haul for leisure purposes, but I needed to to be quite flexible and sometimes have long...

Got the email too. This a great move, contacting people who are on their email marketing list, so targeting people who are clearly already interested in using the airport (and hopefully willing to see improvements).

It looks like SAS still fly MAN-Bergen non-stop twice weekly, so you might have a back up if needed. I've seen on another site that the big BA European cut backs later this month will also affect domestics. It suggested LBA would reduce from 10 to 9 weekly, but on checking the BA website it...

Looking from the alternative perspective, if they feel they need to cut frequencies in badly hit parts of Europe, but need to maintain slot usage at LHR, then a temporary increase in frequency on a short LBA hop might be a possibility?

If this was the terminology used by AMP (and if they truly believe it themselves), then common sense would suggest they should get on with it and undertake a significant terminal expansion/improvements, so that those airlines can be welcomed through the door and not have to be banging on it...

The 1-11s were always one of my favourites to see, the Dan-Air ones particularly on the Jersey summer weekend runs in the 1980s stick in my mind from childhood. As has been mentioned in the past, Intasun also used Dan-Air 1-11s on some of their LBA IT charters, Palma, Ibiza and Girona I think...

Yes, remember seeing the leased ATA 727-100 in 1987 whilst waiting for my flight on a brand new Air Europa 737-300 in June 1987 to Palma. Think it used to come in on Wednesday mornings.

August stats showing 503,380 which is down -3.2% on same month last year.

February CAA stats show LBA at 196,953 for the month, a small drop of -0.5%.

White Heather, do you know, or are allowed to say, which airline was looking at operating the service to Madrid? Think this is a route which will come in time.

A320 G-EUYU currently scheduled for tomorrow's BA1346/1347.

I think we can all work out the 'gesture' TUi are giving its LBA customers, and it's not something which involves much goodwill! Trying to blame someone else is something I'd expect from Michael O'Leary, are TUi so bereft of ideas these days that they couldn't have spun some kind of neutral...

The runway limitations don't seem to stop Jet2 from safely operating many times more flights from LBA than TUI struggle to do, both airlines operating 737-800s and 757s and both with UK registered aircraft. I'm not suggesting it's not without challenges, but feel the real reason is they prefer...

Where have those scarce Heathrow slots come from to add a 4 x daily service to Newquay from scratch, with perfect departure times throughout the day? In the meantime, we see our BA service suffering a slow death by successive frequency cuts.

The scale of the number of routes seemingly dropped is very diappointing news. If they're so sure they can make more money from DSA then good luck to them. Time will tell if they are correct. Probably too late for summer 2019, but perhaps Thomas Cook might be tempted to consider increasing their...

Flightradar24 currently showing tomorrow morning's BA1346/47 as being on A320 G-EUUY.

For anyone who might be interested, I've attached a few timetable schedules from Spring 1990 for Capital, Air UK and British Midland from LBA (just prior to Capital ceasing ops). A glimpse of our domestic routes in years gone by.

November stats route details out from the CAA. Mixed bag, but mostly positive: DOMESTIC Heathrow - 14673 +5% Belfast City - 14673 (identical to LHR - bizarre!) +11% Aberdeen - 535 +53% Newquay - 1422 -7% Southampton - 2989 -15% Glasgow -100% (1165 in 2016) Guernsey -100% (384 in 2016) INTL...
