Leeds Bradford: Infrastructure & Construction Updates

[Aviador]

@LBA4EVER So with all the talk of the capabilities of the LEAP engines Jet2 are purchasing, it would seem additional concrete must be back on the cards if this becomes an obstacle for the airport. As per what has been mentioned previously, this doesn't necessarily have to mean a runway extension as such, but a starter extension on the Horsforth end would benefit departing traffic on 32 and landing traffic on runway 14. I'm going scarper now.....

Either that or @Bigman s idea which is a stick of dynamite for the top of the Chevin.

 

[Finger66]

Or move the whole airport to DSA! What was that you were saying about scarpering @Aviador

Boom Boom.

But then you have a whole different bunch of things to complain about such as the lack of catchment area, the fight against neighbouring Manchester and East Midlands taking all the business and cargo. The rejection of BA, Qantas and Virgin etc etc

Best bet then, stop the investment and make everyone happy by moving to DSA. Last one out don’t forget to lock the gate.

Ps: I’m sure you’ll be all happy with a new housing estate?

Hey presto. Job done!

 

[Finger66]

Trust me, and I am sure I am not alone, but I would be in DSA with a rope doing all I could to drag our beloved LBA back to it's spiritual home. Anyway that won't be necessary as LBA is staying and any comments I have made are very tongue in cheek (just in case anyone hadn't worked that out) and aimed at a couple of separate groups on here who are very anti LBA

Yes a few sticks of dynamite at the top of the chevin, a 600metre runway extension then towards the chevin and a 2nd tunnel for cemetery rd so there is a big enough gap between the runway and those RIP, sorted haha

I had better buy a holiday cottage near Doncaster New Airport then !

 

[ls27]

Be careful if you do that A300boy. Most of the area surrounding Donny is below sea level. The highest point being the hospital!!

One would imagine that would come with mass infrastructure improvements?

Of course the only way to get them is to turn LBA into a housing estate. 🤣 🤣 🤣
