Also note that the article states that the expansion work on the airport will start next spring. Great news that we appear to be a bit closer to getting a start date for this work but this is going to cause chaos in the summer! Good luck to all the staff!

Sounds like a good choice of destination as this is quite a popular destination with Thomas Cook and is rather underserved at present especially because people are looking at other destinations other than the likes of Spain recently. Could Banjul see an increase in tourism due to the hit the...

Easyjet I know what I am about to say goes against what I posted the other day about that I did not think Easyjet would ever operate from LBA but apparantly Easyjet have been in talks to the LBA management team with regards to basing two aircraft at the airport. Not quite sure where the...

Leeds Bradford Airport car park could be closed Would the council even consider having this car park closed if they still owned the airport given what headaches closing the car park could cause? I don't think they would! The council do know how to make life easy for themselves and difficult...

LBA has been talking of linking LBA with NYC for at least ten years. It has been on their wish list for quite some time so I would assume that talks with airlines started at least ten years ago. Maybe that means we could be looking at a NYC route in about 5 years if we go by the figures John...

Easyjet originally approached LBA before they even step foot in the door of Liverpool but the management at LBA at the time decided that they didn't want to go down the low cost route. Just think where LBA could be now if Easyjet had have set up a base. Would we be at higher passenger numbers...

Biggest problem with LBA gaining a New York link is any possible American carrier that would serve that route already serves MAN from NYC so I really cannot see us getting a link with NYC.

PIA load figures Does anyone know what the load figures have been like with PIA over the past few weeks whilst the terrible floods have affected Pakistan and also what the cargo has been like. Has any aid supplies gone out on the flights from LBA? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Re: Infrastructure Developments Bridgepoint really do know how to stretch things out! This should have been decided and released ages ago if they were considering starting the work this winter like they originaly stated.

Re: bmi I completly agree White Heather. Lufthansa do appear to only want to operate from the larger airports but they could learn a thing or two from the way how KLM operate out of the UK.

Re: getting to LBA?! The airport is signposted heading North up the M1 and then the sign posts continue once off the motorway. Even if you do get lost going through the centre of Leeds there are many sign posts and alternative routes that you can pick up to get you up to the airport such as...

Re: getting to LBA?! Parking doesn't take any longer than at any other airport in my previous experience in fact I have often found parking at LBA one of the quickest. I have never really experienced particularly long waiting times to get through security, again no more so than any other...

Re: bmi Just read on another forum that leases on most of bmi's fleet will be extended and aircraft will recieve similar seating to what is already on Lufthansa Airbus aircraft. Sounds like Lufthansa have finally turned things round at bmi and realised their full potential. Lets hope that...

Re: getting to LBA?! Welcome to Forums4Airports pinkheart. Once coming off the M1 I would take the A65 signposted towards the airport. Unfortunetly this would mean going through the city centre or alternatively you could avoid the city centre and come off the M1 at Elland Road and head...

If the price was right and it was from my regional airport then I would, yes!

Re: Infrastructure Developments I think the masterplan was put together before the Jet2 building was constructed. Surely it would be more beneficial for more apron space and to knock down the Jet2 building and have them relocated? The Jet2 building doesn't look more than a temporary...

The only long haul route on a regular basis that I can remember of late at Liverpool was the Globespan 757 service to New York that didn't last long. I think that LBA is in a better position than Liverpool to attract some more long haul destinations such as New York, Dubai and more Pakistan...

Re: Movements Log & Heads Up I know that the original plan about three years ago with Thomas Cook was to have a second A320 based at LBA along with the current unit but things have changed with the help of Jet 2 as Thomas Cook are able to sell seats on some of their flights. I think the best...

Many factors were taken into consideration by the PIA management team when they visited LBA a few months ago. A 777 would have to park on the remote stand and not utilise an airbridge due to length of the aircraft which they weren't too happy about. There are doubts over whether the runway...

Re: Movements Log & Heads Up I remember when we had a based 767-200 from Thomson at LBA for the beginning of the summer season due to demand. How times have changed and what a mistake it was of Thomson to set-up at Doncaster and not expand at LBA. Lets hope these latest rumours of Thomson...
