A321 (G-ZBAF) operating tonight's ZB7505 flight from Tenerife South according to FR24 and will depart out on the morning's ZB7512 sector to Palma.

 

[jfy1999]

I take it Monarch A321s are something of a rarity at Leeds??

 

[stevolba]

We have G-ZAPX Titan 757 positioning in tomorrow morning from Stansted as jet2 are short of aircraft at LBA tomorrow

 

[JakeS]

It would be nice if it was on the deck at the same time as sister G-POWH and Monarch's A321 but I guess that's being a bit too greedy and will come in after the A321 has gone.

Yes is the answer. More to the point the A321 is a rarity.

 

[oldendays]

ZAPX has now gone to Palma but the Monarch A321 is still here. A Monarch A320 is currently in the Multiflight hangar.

ZAPX is doing two Palma round trips from Leeds today.

[JakeS]

Pan Europeenne Air Service look to be operating a Perpignan charter on Friday 6th May to bring the Catalans Dragons in for their Challenge Cup game with Batley.

PEA007 Arrives 10:10
Departs 23:55

Presumably either their Embraer 135 (F-GYPE) or 145 (F-HBPE).

 

[White Heather]

I think they are actually playing at Castleford as it's on TV?

 

[ls27]

Sorry White Heather, they are playing my team at Mount Pleasant, Batley. And it's on TV!

 

[jason1-11]

Looks like we may see a KLM F70 tomorrow.

 

[lbaspotter]

RAF Leeming based BAe Hawk T.1, XX265 shot the ILS along runway 14 earlier this afternoon using callsign "Pirate24"

 

[Bigman]

The latest new Stobart Air EI-FNA turned up yesterday evening.

 

[White Heather]

Sorry White Heather, they are playing my team at Mount Pleasant, Batley. And it's on TV!

Agreed. My resident RL expert here at work is obviously do distressed at the fact the Superleague table is upside down (with Leeds Rhinos manfully holding up the rest of the league), that he got his fixtures confused. Apologies.

 

[The Pole]

Shuttle 21X at at 19:35 also, loving this non standard departure routing! Come on ATC, why is BA doing it and no one else? (Do not worry not the anti aircraft brigade!)

BA Shuttle just done another early right turn off 14, saw it do it over weekend not sure if Saturday or Sunday, do we know why as yet?

 

[oldendays]

I emailed LBA ATC a few weeks ago, politely enquiring about these non-standard RW14 departures. I have yet to receive a reply.

 

[White Heather]

I suspect it is connected to the trialling of new departure procedures and that just one airline, BA, are participating. It is no secret that nationally, new departure and arrival procedures/routings are being developed and they will impact on LBA as with other airlines.

 

[lbaspotter]

RAF Tornado GR4, ZG771 did a missed approach along runway 14 about an hour ago using flight No "MRM48"
