I noted the visibility at one point this morning was as low as 50m with a reported RVR of 150m3. That really is extreme and outside of CAT IIIA limits.

When I did a search for the article, the numbers / people stated withn, the following result came back " This strongly suggests the text you provided is synthetic, unpublished, or from an internal / draft / AI‑generated source " Based on that, I'd take it with a very large pinch of salt.

I see Chris Woodroofe (Manchester Airport MD) was at Leeds Station this morning, discussing Northern Powerhouse Rail. He touched on MAG's £1.3B investment and how they are looking to grow their catchment area, attract new long-haul routes with the hope of benefiting the whole of the North.

Is FR24 purely teasing us, by showing a KLM 737 operating into LBA tomorrow 🤔

Probably isn't, but every now and then we do get some very poor days with EI. Yesterday for example, Emerald managed to fly absolutely zero passengers from LBA- BHD.

Not sure if there are any photos of the new stands, but managed to snip the enclosed from a YouTube video. Courtesy of Skiathos Paul.

Or Blue Islands, perhaps 🤔

The wind during the period was 280° at 19-20 knots, but with gusts registered between 30-35 knots.

Ground staff strikes in AMS.

Just to confuse us even more, it appears to be also operating a LBA-JER service. The flight number suggests it's to cover this mornings HUY-JER flight. Tech ATR 72 perhaps???

My sister who lives ~ 5 miles from LBA, is flying to PMI on Saturday for a Med cruise, but from MME. When booking, they were told that LBA wasn't available. I wonder if TUI are trying to fill a poor selling MME flight, or the LBA flight was completely full at the time of booking.

Missed or Pissed :-). Anyway, LUFC return charter.

14 for departures and 32 for arrivals, due to fog. That will have kept ATC busy, this morning.

Hard to say, as I don't work with LBA. They could potentially have a tank(s) out of service due to routine inspection, a technical issue or product quality concerns meaning fuel is quarantined.

In a nutshell, yes, but each airport is slightly different The tank farms are either run by the airport, by specialist 3rd companies like Swissport or by the the fuel companies themselves i.e MASHCo, GASHCo, HHOpCo as JV's. After that it is the role of the various "into plane" companies to get...

For info, DSA sits very close to one of the major Jet A1 pipelines and has a loading depot in the vicinity. So theoretically it is better placed for Jet A1 deliveries than LBA, but of course is immaterial if non-operational.

Yes it does supply LHR, but it's a small % and there are many players and multiply supply routes into the airport.

The airlines will contract directly with their chosen fuel supplier i.e Air BP, Essar, Harvest Energy etc. It is the fuel suppliers responsibility to then trunk fuel into the airport to meet the required uplifts whilst taking into consideration forecasts, tank ullages etc. As has been stated...

Unfortunately, the service had to route back to BFS due to the BHD curfew. A double whammy of delay and diversion for the passengers. This mornings service is also delay as a consequence of the re-positioning.

Doesn't bode well for future Jet2 A321 ops. Surely, there must be more to this than meets the eye.
