Last inbound is on Friday 4th - TOM383 from Hurgada. Will position out to Manchester around midnight.

Today sees the last TUI outbound flight with pax and tomorrow sees Wizzair's last flights. The sands of time are running very low for aviation in Doncaster. Looking at it objectively from the outside without the burden of civic pride, the inevitability of it all is obvious. The Grimm Reaper is...

How is Jones able to judge whether an offer is credible? Has she seen it? What is her background in UK airport ownership and operations to make such a conclusion? I am finding her statements increasingly untrustworthy. Peel have disputed it anyway. I wonder if Jones is trying to use the...

Following from yesterdays Urgent Questions debate in the House of Commons, this afternoon the House of Lords also debated the impending closure. Parliamentary Under Secretary of State - Baroness Vere of Norbiton was answering questions for the government. She was well briefed and actually gave a...

Ros Jones has confirmed this morning she will instruct Doncaster Council to initiate legal proceedings in the courts to get an injunction to stop Peel winding down the airfield. This will be interesting to see how their legal teams will argue this as it is not their airfield or land and would...

The Parliamentary debate is just a vanity project for Nick Fletcher MP. It will not achieve anything other than generate continued news fodder and Facebook soundbites. The fact that the PM has resigned and in a couple of weeks (or whenever) there will be a new cabinet, I would expect little or...

Asking for £20m is a smart move. This is one scenario, move the goal posts so they are not achievable. There is also a scenario whereby Peel get the £20m loan they originally requested from the local authorities prior to the consultation to close, as cash to maintain operations. No longer £20m...

Indeed. Personally I don't think it will change the overall outcome, it could perhaps be argued that this move sits comfortably with Peel's agenda. I guess the old adage is true, everything is for sale at the right price, this will be an opportunity for Peel to test if any of these bidders will...

The SY Mayor Oliver Coppard wants the government to instigate powers from the Civil Contingencies Act which would be the only option open for a speedy intervention by the government. This would require the closure of DSA to be classed as a national emergency. I would suggest this would be a...

Very impressive aircraft. I flew on BA001 LHR - JFK at 1350+mph on Concorde mid 80s as free DHL Courier. However, Concorde wouldn't hold one ULD 5 container whereas the B777 holds ?????? (don't know) John

Hi, I wondered what ever happened to Servis Air Freight the Customs Bonded Building. I used to visit every night in the late 1980s and I was always pleased to see a French girl working their - anyone remember. I had an import/ export airfreight background at BHX I was the first DHL Import...

There appears to be some further fine tuning to the winter program compared to that originally put on sale. From what I can see at a quick glance CDG is reduced to 4pw from early Nov until 11 Feb when it returns to 7pw, DUB is reduced to 4pw until last week of March when it returns to 7pw, TXL...

Note the airport have at last dropped the much dated word "international" from the corporate branding.

I am able to find holidays with Thomas Cook to Majorca, Tenerife, Dalaman and Faro on selected dates throughout S15 from LBA using either Monarch or Jet2. There maybe other destinations available, I have not checked that far yet. Palma for example is bookable in May, most of June, Sept and Oct...

Gibraltar?.. seriously? ..... and no Malaga? Bizarre.

From the Business Desk INVESTMENT at Leeds Bradford Airport is expected to continue as the business eyes up new services to expand its offering. The business, backed by Bridgepoint, said despite already investing heavily in terminal development and attracting new airlines and new business...

Looks like Eastern are stepping in on LBA-SOU after the withdrawl of Flybe.

Re: SAS CR9's will operate the route.

Some positive murmurs by Monarch: http://www.thebusinessdesk.com/yorkshir ... e+for+LBA# LEEDS Bradford Airport (LBA) is setting its sights on new destinations being added to its offering, as it builds on a successful year. The airport, which is now one of the fastest growing regional...

Re: Leeds Bradford - General Thread I've only seen the Skytours second brochure but according to that the Antalya has been dropped replaced by an additional Dalaman
