I noticed yesterday there were 2 jet2 flights, one dep MAN and the other EMA, they both flew directly over LBA then back to their bases. Im guessing they will be full of crew and a number of pilots training etc?

Wouldn't it be nice if they were discussing subsidising routes to Scotland!

According to the LBA arrivals and departures, we have flight due in from HUY at 1230 tomorrow with an EZE flight code, suggesting Eastern. The return flight to HUY is at 1620. Both flights have a P suffix to the flight number suggesting positioning flights, which makes little sense as the aircraft is going back to HUY.

Just to confuse me even more the airport arrivals says the flight is Sun Air of Scandinavia! Last time I saw them at LBA was Euro 96 with several BAe146 charters.

Anyone solve this mystery??

Flight code "EZE" is Eastern Airways. Its most likely listing the positioning empty legs as we have non of there aircraft here at LBA at this moment in time.

Guess it will be either, Saab 2000, ATR72, Embraer 145 or maybe the Embraer 175 to take Leeds Utd out to Wales for there game against Cardiff?

EZE973P = Arrives Saturday, June 20th from Humberside
Outbound should be EZE9731

Inbound should be EZE9732
EZE732P =Departs Sunday, June 21st to Humberside

I don't think Sun Air have operated 146's just ATP and J41. The 146's I saw at Euro 96 were Air Jet of France.

The flights shown on the LBA Dep/Arr board as Sun-Air are the correct timings, but the incorrect airline info (this is a system error).
The flight is in fact an Eastern E170 (G-CIXW) which will be positioning in from HUY, as EZE973 at around 12:15 and then out to CWL as EZE9731 at 14:00.
This is to take Leeds United down to CWL for their game against Cardiff City on Sunday.
The aircraft will then return Sunday and is planned to arrive at 16:20 as per the LBA Dep/Arr board as WH has pointed out.
