Route Development & Rumours

[Sherburnflyer92]

could be iberia and its IB express at MAN doubt it be good though. IST link or somewhere further east would be great

TK! Or any other Turkish operator. Maybe TK could interline with an agreement on certain routes. Make it cheaper to operate and feed into their banks.

Could it be Veuling?

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Could it be Veuling?

Very much so. They've operated to us before on the Barcelona route when they competed with both Jet2 and Monarch. If we are lead to believe the operator doesn't go into Manchester then unfortunately it rules them out.

Olympic comeback?
No, I am not leaving cryptic clues.
All I know is what I was told and it's not for me to say anything at all. It's fun seeing all the guesses though..

To say White Heather 'All I know is what I was told and its not for me to say anything at all' to me and probably a lot of other people confirms that we are getting a new operator into LBA though I can fully understand that you are not able to disclose anything until a formal announcement is made by the airport.

That's may well be true. However, I wasn't told by the airport - they didn't even tell me about Wizz, (although when I mentioned Wizz rumours to them, there was no denial either). I knew about Wizz via other reliable sources.at least a month before it was confirmed.

I was told about this other airline by another member and have absolutely no reason to doubt him or his sources , but I would never disclose what I was told in confidence. And, as I said earlier, it might not happen. It's not as though we dont have a track record on new airlines not actually happening. We've had BMi and IPS in recent years as obvious examples.

Over the hill will be complaining again saying it's rightfully theirs, how dare we! Finger crossed

Hi All, longtime lurker but first time posting, couldn’t help but jump in on the discussion of a new operator coming in that doesn’t serve Manchester. But what would thoughts be on JetBlue potentially surprising us all to JFK? Absolutely realise it’s a far fetched one but the long haul aircraft they have would fit LBA perfectly, especially on a route that has no competition other than the pre covid Jet2 trips?

 

[Finger66]

Curve ball of the highest order there Lbabloke. Nice idea but probably no chance of reality unfortunately. Never say never though. Can see WH now sat on her sofa having a real chuckle at yet another guess

Couldn’t resist jumping in at the opportunity but agree that it’s a huge curveball and wishful thinking.

Probably a Pakistan route. Air Blue?

 

[lbaspotter]

How about WestJets? Boeing 737-MAX to Halifax/Toronto and they don't go into Manchester either.

They now even have crew whom have previous experience flying into LBA what with them taking over Sunwing.

 

[Finger66]

Would at least provide competition for First bus routes 508 and 576 to Halifax lol

 

[markietg]

I’d much prefer a bus to Wakefield myself

 

[oldendays]

I'd be happy for British Airways to reinstate the Heathrow route with a night-stopping aircraft. They might even use an airbridge on 7 or 8.

Here's hoping. Plus Lufthansa, Iberia, SAS and Air France et al.

Aegean have just announced Athens from BHX & BRS would be good. Fly Dubai ? DXB on the MAX? anyone wanting to provide a clue?

 

[LBA4EVER]

Rather than trying to guess which airline it could possibly be, perhaps WH could give us an indication of when its possibly going to be announced, the suspense gets to me haha

Perhaps WH can't, because WH doesn't have a clue! In fact WH doesn't know anything at all other than what she's been told which is the name of an airline. Not when.

I guess patience is the order of the day!

 

[Finger66]

Well if “patience” is the order or the day, something must be on the “cards” haha

 

[michael]

well just for a bit of fun if 'patience ' and 'cards' are being looked into here you'd usually use 'Tarot' cards for a bit of fortune/future telling so the nearest airline I can think of for that is Tarom from Romania............. nice bit of competition for Wizz...
Alternatively you might employ the services of a Spiritualist to tell the future...............Spirit airlines then comes to mind which currently are in the process of merging with JetBlue .............who have been mentioned a couple of posts ago by 'Lbabloke'

Hang on while I slap myself and wake up!!!!!!)))))))

Meanwhile back to the thread.......

 

[mdobuk21]

SeanM good source of route info on twitter, cant say which airline may come to Leeds
