Sorry lbaspotter it was B737-800 SP-ENR that operated the flight this morning.

Are right somebody sent me some false information then, guess I'll have to have words with my source.

Showing on the LBA website live arrivals board earlier this morning but later removed was the following TUI Netherlands (Arkefly) flight due tomorrow morning.

OR7302 - ETA 0710 = from Beirut

 

[lbaspotter]

TUI Netherlands Boeing 737-800, PH-TFB Has just landed Leeds runway 32 inbound from Beirut as TFL7302 operating a Syrian refugee charter flight, He must have done a CAT3 approach as landed on first attempt and we still in LVP's.

Shows it can be done if they want to!

Jet2 Boeing 737-300F, G-CELW has just operated its last ever flight from Leeds to Kemble as EXS33E heading for the scrapman.

Yes once again a non Uk operator working within Easa regulations can use the Cat 3 Ils with the weather below Cat 1 conditions whilst the Uk registered sister company Tui Uk [ Thomsons ] either cannot or does not want to.

I know you've explained the reasons before, but what a farce. It does Leeds no favours whatsoever.

Also, did anyone catch the pictures on Twitter yesterday from the Easyjet A320 crew that flew into Leeds? It certainly put into prospective how bad the viz was yesterday.

just a thought, if Thomson are basing a Sunwings aircraft with a Canadian reg, would their limits be different to Thomson's G reg?

 

[a300boy]

I do not think Sunwings are Cat 3 so as Thomson do not normally land below Cat 1 limits at Leeds they would be the same. All guess work of course I have no inside information.

No problem ! push a few buttons in the correct sequence and sit and watch the clever machine do it all itself then taxi to the correct gate and park up which is the tricky bit.

RAF C130 Hercules ZH879 callsign "Ascot150" has just done an ILS missed approach and go-around on runway 14, Doing a bit of circuit bashing before making a full stop and landing seen as his night stopping LBA.

Enter Air are using Boeing 737-800, SP-ENP on the ENT3150 from Kiruna, she's just currently over the North Sea working her way towards Newcastle area.

Two in the hold at the moment whilst a small hole in the runway is repaired !!!

I wondered why the Ryanair and Jet2 B738's were holding.

 

[lbaspotter]

Been a disaster for Eastern Airways Saab 2000 operated Leeds/Bradford - Southampton route today. Following on from this morning this afternoons EZE4704/4705 and now the evening EZE4706/4707 rotations have also been cancelled due to the dense fog down in Southampton.

Just now (2.25pm) I swear I saw a Boeing 727 fly over LBA at about FL60. It was heading in a SSE direction. Can anyone in the know verify please ? Ta.
