Archive Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

[Seasider]

It would make more sense if they used the BA service, cheaper and (for LBA) more passengers using the service.

Well, wasn't it Tottenham that recently flew from Luton to Norwich and attracted some criticism for doing so? If so I would be surprised if they don't fly to Leeds.

It was mentioned on Look North today that a Tour de France party is flying from Paris tomorrow afternoon after the official route announcment for Yorkshire in July 14 - there is apparently an event at the Leeds Town Hall and fireworks afterwards, so I wonder if that will be a charter or are they booked on Jet2? Assuming there is a Jet2 on Thursdays these days - can't remember to be honest.

there was an arrival from Lyon on the board for tommorrow earlier jet2 but doesnt seem to be there now

White Heather it was Arsenal who you were referring who flew from Luton to Norwich in a 14 minute flight. I can see Tottenham flying up seeing as both Arsenal and Chelsea flew up to Leeds back in December

Enter AIR Boeing 737 has just landed and is due to depart very soon for anyone who wants to see it. It had no sbs code so as I am not at home I cannot identify the machine in use.

SP-ENK 100% regards LUFC PETE

Thanks for that LUFC pete. There must have been a last minute frame swap by Enter Air then if that's the case. Might have been due to the weather down south this morning which is heading are way later.

 

[Tarn Spotter]

Was this flight ENT 3507 Kiruna. Was watching on the web cam, was pushed back and then headed towards runway 32, at gate 11 proceeded to turn round and head for take off on runway 14.
Is this last minute change of plan usual.

 

[LUFC Jonno]

The Monarch flight from Munich had just landed and was taxing to stand 8 which was the same stand that the Enter Air flight to Kiruna had just been pushed back from. I've seen planes on the webcam been pushed back and facing runway 32 then turn around to go to runway 14.

 

[lbaspotter]

Easyjet A320, G-EZTA has just positioned into Leeds-Bradford from Liverpool as EZY9013. Looks like the A319 may have gone tech.

 

[channex 757]

BA are using a320 G-MEDK on the BA 1346.

 

[lbaspotter]

I actually think this could be a first visit of one of the G-MED range Airbuses, As for some reason I can't remember bmi british midland using them in the past on the LBA service it use to be always the G-DBC? A319's and G-MID A320/A321's

[Moo2009]

Has a Brussels airlines just landed

 

[LUFC Jonno]

I think it is actually a Flybe in Brussels Airlines livery.

 

[lbaspotter]

Looking at the live arrivals and departure boards on the LBIA website It looks as though Cardiff City FC have chartered a Flybe aircraft to get the team up north for this weekends fixture against Huddersfield Town FC.
