Thanks for pointing out the spelling mistake, was typing that last message quite fast on me mobile. Was meant to say Lourdes

Oh by way a Trident or any trijet would do for me. Something different for a change!

British Airways are again sending in an old BMI British Midland regular A319, G-DBCB on this evenings shuttle SHT20C/21X LHR-LBA-LHR rotation.

[lbaspotter]

Corendon Boeing 737-800, PH-CDG is currently positioning into Leeds from Amsterdam as EXS44A on lease by Jet2. Should be here within the hour.

According to flightradar http://www.flightradar24.com/LAV8710/6c0d8c8 it looks as though Albastar using Boeing 737-400, EC-MFS. His just airborne out of Lourdes operating as LAV8710.

 

[twevsmiff]

PH-CDG was only registered two weeks ago and is operating the Jet2 Palma flight.
EC-MFS is also a very recent reg, but the aircraft has visited before when operated by Air Explore as OM-AEX.
