Route Development & Rumours

[whoshotjimmi]

Let us hope it is something as wonderfully shocking as SAS at Humberside....

 

[752]

lets keep our fingers crossed! I was just wondering, how do you find out information about expected announcements? I know people say rumours, but who starts them / makes them?

Inside Knowledge

I seriously doubt it. Bridgepoint and the LBA management are extremely good at keeping secrets these days. I'd say you're more likely to hear leaks from Mi5 or the KGB.

 

[airforced]

Seeing as it is leaks we are talking about here how about Yorkshire Water as a source?

 

[whoshotjimmi]

Magnificent satire.

 

[Moo2009]

New routes will be by Yorkshire Airlines which will have 2 A380 flying daily to Cardiff, Norwich, Humberside and Prestwick with free Fish Chips and Mushy Peas

 

[ridgeback]

Wrong

BA can't agree things with ARN in time so are going to do their 787 pilot training on the LBA route. They are particularly keen to explore the crosswind and low viz capability of their new machines.

All pax expected to sit in Club World.

First sector date to be announced in due course.

But woebetide if one gets canx......

I would believe that rumour more than the one about PIA bringing a B777 to Lbia.

 

[EX9]

I would suspect easyjet considering the airline luggage guages that has been arriving. Either that or they are keen to set up for next winter.

 

[lbaspotter]

All i can add is that its to do with an exsisting serving airline. So you can rule out easyjet or any other airline that dose not a operate into LBA....

I'll give you another hint, its a Boeing operator!

 

[lbia]

Perhaps we will not have the Canadian 737 next summer...

 

[Moo2009]

Ryanair to base 5 aircraft next summer is a rumour I heard at LBA

Qantas to Sydney via Singapore?

 

[SNOWMAN]

Qantas to Sydney via Singapore?

whatever you are smoking I love to try it.

 

[jason1-11]

My money is on Belfast International - Leeds once daily on Eayjet.

 

[adam]

i thought we was making unusual suggestions until we're put out of our misery with the proper announcement :s_tongue

 

[rmac]

Well I thought perhaps EasyJet might announce some new routes out of LBA for next April, especially as Geneva appears to have been successful, maybe Madrid and Copenhagen for starters, but then lbaspotter mentioned a Boeing operator! I do think that at some stage EasyJet will increase their presence at Leeds, the potential for growth seems to be there (19.5% inc last month) and other airlines such as Monarch making noises that they want to increase at LBA.

 

[cmj]

I was hoping it would be a Star Alliance airline, given we don't have one any more. Would be nice to have someone restore the Brussels link, tho I'm not sure who.

Probably be another Ryanair or something tho.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

The ryanair rumour could be true, however from 3 to 5 is a bit steep. Maybe fourth yes.

Boeing operator Something to do with Jet2 perhaps. Or better still thomson to base a THOMSON registered aircraft based year round.
