Just got back yesterday from a 6 day university fieldtrip in Iceland. Flew out from MAN on an EasyJet A320 and returned with Icelandair to LHR due to it being the only evening flight from Iceland to the UK. Long queue at MAN T1 security during the morning rush at 4:30am but otherwise a decent...

Aircraft informed by London control who passed on the details to Channex ops. Pax being bussed back to LBA from NCL.

KLM still in the hold however LS274 just been given an earliest re-opening time of 23:00 local time so diverting directly to NCL.

'Terminal and tower evacuation at this time' Jet2 OPS just informed LS274

Airport reported closed and LS298 just diverted to MAN with LS448 told by Jet2 OPS to divert to EMA. Anyone know what's up?

Monarch A321 G-OZBR positioning in from LGW as MON125P

Last summer they used the 757 on the route so I assume they'll make the switch when the Jet2 schedules ramp up once again on the 24th of April.

I thought it could just be my 10+ year old, relatively cheap scanner slowly dying that was causing the deterioration in the quality of received transmissions but I'm somewhat glad to find others noticing the same. Sometimes when I'm at the airport itself the controller transmissions are...

Is Jet2 currently short of a 757 at LBA? Yesterdays ALC flight and today's PMI have been operated by 2x 737-300s.

Noticed light aircraft calling up on the usual 134. It appears it's just scheduled IFR traffic operating inside controlled airspace using the new frequency and VFR traffic which take up a lot of time on air reverting to the old frequency?

Just had a long weekend in Rome with the family flying out on Thursday's LS331 and returning on today's LS332. The 737-800 appeared to be totally full both ways unless I missed the odd empty seat. Both flights on time and great service from Jet2 as usual. At LBA the various improvement works...

Ah that explains it, thanks for the info!

According to the Ryanair website no flights are showing on the LBA-Vilnius route for July and August 2017. Not sure if this was noted elsewhere or is a temporary bug but if it is true could it be a sign that other routes are being prioritised over it during the peak summer holiday season? The...

I believe it was due to the runway re-opening late due to the resurfacing work that is taking place between 20:00 Saturdays and 20:00 Mondays at the moment.

Anyone know why the FR2333 from Krakow diverted to East Midlands today? According to FR24 it got to the Doncaster area at 20,000ft before turning south to EMA.

To be honest Flybe would probably have the best shot at offering short haul business routes such as Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Copenhagen etc. however it remains to be seen after they cancelled their LBA plans in favour of DSA. I study down in Sheffield and the advertisement campaign is in full...

Does anyone know when Iberia Express and Vueling release(d) their summer 2017 schedules? Earlier in the thread lbaspotter rumoured IAG expansion which I think with Madrid and a night stopper on Heathrow in addition to anything vueling throws in would be extremely valuable to the airport. The...

The issue is definitely complex and it'll be interesting to see what the "review" finds or recommends. However I don't think that the issue will die down anytime soon - especially with the work being done by the airlines themselves. Hopefully a suitable compromise can be found.

Finally a review on alcohol sales in airports. It's been mentioned countless times on the forum that many of the incidents involving drunk passengers could entirely be avoided if the existing laws on serving intoxicated individuals was adhered to more closely. I'm sure this will also be welcomed...
