Multiflight

[752]

A lot of Biz Jets movements recently which is fantastic to see, as Multiflight share the apron with Jet2, would there be any scope for expanding the apron over at that side of the airport? I have seen a picture over the weekend of 9 biz jets parked up.. be great is this continues!

There were plans some years ago to expand Multiflight with additional hangar and apron space, but it never happened for some reason. Perhaps they should apply for planning consent and use up all GALBAs pot of money!!

Would be interesting to see the plans, do who owns the Jet2/Multiflight hanger? would be great to see another jet2 hanger being built to help with the ever expanding fleet.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Just out of interest due to multiflight been based at LBA does the airport handle more biz jet movements than most other airports? Anyone have any figures?

 

[752]

I think other airports have there equivalent to "Multiflight" that handle the biz jets, I would say LTN would be the busiest airport in terms of Biz jet movements for a commercial airport,

Farnborough is up there too.

Manchester have Signature which handle a lot of biz movements

As far as I know both hangars are owned by Multiflight with Jet2 leasing the space.

Yesterday marked my first visit to the cafe in around 3 years and it was great to catch up with some old(er) faces! A very interesting and amusing afternoon especially with Mr Comedian in the ranks - you know who you are! Don’t know if I am lucky to be still alive today after risking repeating those jokes at home!

Given this will be based at Multiflight in LBA, I thought this deserved to be posted here.
Centreline adds an Embraer Legacy 500 to charter fleet

 

[oldendays]

I wonder if this is replacing, or complementing, the Harpin Phenom.

 

[Ian Gratton]

The Centreline website gives the impression that it is in addition to ‘HNPN and ‘PN seems to have quite a bit of future work so hopefully it’s an additional based aircraft.
also does anybody know if TBM9 N11MA is now based as it appears to be resident in Multiflights hanger

 

[twevsmiff]

N11MA is not resident, it lives in Germany.
G-HAPA arrived from Stansted 20/6 to be based.

For the record, PC-12 G-SPEN is no longer esident, having been sold and re-registered N21WL.
PA-28 G-BZLH has also left, reregistered in Malta for a new owner in Dubai

 

[Ian Gratton]

Suspected G-SPEN was no longer resident as its been parked at Guernsey since 01 June, didn’t last long, only arrived in late January

Seems to be a lot of Biz Jets movements at the moment which is great. Would there ever be a possibility of Multiflight expanding the apron/potentially building more hangers?

Think the long term plan was to go develop more space to the East of the existing double barrel hanger.
Have heard Jet2 were interested and looking to build something big over there. That way they could hand back the existing leased space back to Multiflight.

 

[White Heather]

Good luck with both when it comes to getting planning approval from the increasingly green council .

 

[LBA787]

It’s well known within certain circles Jet2 want/need more hangar space and a purpose built facility would fulfil their need for the future fleet growth.

At LBA there appears no appetite to spend money on a needless application for a long winded no guarantee return when you can build at other airports without issues.

With the purchase of the ex Air Livery hangar, MAN will see yet more expansion from Jet2, this time on the engineering side. We are yet to see if they will simply refit the existing building or knock it down to build a new structure. Unfortunately it’s LBA’s (Leeds city regions) loss on high paying/skilled jobs for the local economy.

Never mind. As long as the selfish Nimbys are happy, what's a few jobs?

 

[lbaspotter]

Before COVID came along and scuppered alot of things I'm lead to believe plans were been drawn up with Jet2/LBA and Multiflight all joint partners.
Now I'm not sure what the situation is, but I'll ask my source.

To be honest I can't see how LCC could refuse a planning application that would wholely be within the airfield boundary. As long it's not on greenbelt land, as was the planned new terminal and keeps within the Southside current operational limits.
It would bring in more highly skill jobs too.

Now if Labour want to be seen as the party for the people and jobs, even Alex Sobel might have to agree along with his gang of well known anti LBA/Aviation friends.
