Great picture. How many overnighters are there typically?

Think we currently have about 22x night stopping aircraft at LBA as follows.

1x JS41 = Eastern Airways
1x 2000 = Eastern Airways
1x E190 = KLM City Hopper
1x B738 = Thomson Airways
3x B738 = Ryanair.com
2x A320 = Monarch Airlines
2x B738 = Jet2.com
5x B733 = Jet2.com (1 is parked up spare back up aircraft)
5x B752 = Jet2.com (1 is parked up spare back up aircraft)
1x B752 = Titan Airways (On lease to Jet2)
 
Many thanks lbaspotter.
 
The back up aircraft are for the whole company but I believe they may have at least one back up aircraft at another base.
 
As well as the 1x B733 & B752 sat at LBA Jet2 also have at least another 1x B733 & 1x B752 at MAN along with a 1x B733 at ALC on stand by during the peak summer months.

this is the main reason for the leased aircraft which come into operation every summer.

With the limited amount of stands we have I would love to know how they are going to fit an extra 4th based Ryanair Boeing 737-800WL into that mix next summer?

LBA must have a trick up there sleve as it was about this time last year they were planning to add 2x Flybe, Embrear 190's into this summers parking plans without adding concrete, well that's was until they decided to go off and base them at DSA.

I remember when Capital Airlines went into receivership in 1990 (I think) and we lost most of our regional services, some international and passenger figures slumped, but things will get better.

The first time I visited LBA was in 1968 and at that time passenger figures were 250/300K. It has taken a long time to get to 4M and as I said there have been ups & downs but overall great expansion. I don't think I will be alive to see them reach 10M, but I'm sure they will.

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
