Route Development & Rumours

[Aviador]

He is good at sourcing information that is generally already publicly available To be honest I wish people would stop posting his Twitter posts without also adding substantially to the debate otherwise we will just look like an extension to Twitter.

Don't worry I like putting on my Size 12's and ensuring members are provoked

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

I doubt he would say anything until allowed to.

 

[lbaspotter]

To be honest I for one can vouch for SeanM.
He is quite knowledgeable, hence I know he has the airlines flight schedule timings & route commencement dates tweets ready to go even before his allowed to post them publicly on his Twitter feed.
He also has lot of followers whom like his posts so they share them on the respective threads and yes I do it to..

Personally I find Sean a very good source of info when it comes to route news etc. He has built up quite a following and I believe has been quoted by Simon Calder in some of his articles. As for twitter links I guess that's just down to ease of use. Just copy and paste and all the info is there.

I am confused (easy done). Does SeanM not know about any new airline or does know but cannot say? Presumably the first option.
It always intrigues me how people find out about unannounced new routes when both the airline and airport treat it as commercially confidential.

On most of the info he posts, He actually knows before his allowed to post publicly.

Regards the new airline announcement for LBA he knows who it is, but cant either confirm or deny. It's the same with everything in aviation its not 100% until it's confirmed and the tires hit the tarmac, well in LBA's case the concrete...

Thanks lbaspotter..That's three of us then who know who it is but cannot say.

I'm not knocking SeanM, just when people copy his Tweet and just post SeanM says... "

Anyway I'm digressing too much from the thread at hand. Slap my wrist

So as for any further announcements, I'm guessing they'll want it announced before Christmas for a decent lead in time?

Fingers crossed for something new that isn't ex Doncaster!

If it comes to pass, it's not anything they had at Donny.

 

[YorkshireLad]

We’ve already taken all their airlines

 

[Len Fish]

I’d much prefer a bus to Wakefield

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

Must just be another airline flying to ACE then.

Ok so making it a bit of fun/interesting - my 3 unrealistic/realistic predictions which I'm wishing for: (based on the info they don't operate from DSA or MAN.)

Unrealistic 3:
JetBlue - JKF
Fly Dubai - DXB
AirBlue - ISB (Not that unrealistic, jus think PIA are the right airline for the job)

Realistic 3:
PLAY - KEF
Air Europa - MAD
Anadolu Jet - IST

 

[Finger66]

KEF, MAD and IST is an anagram of Faked Mist - highly appropriate for LBA! I actually think PLAY is the best shout of the lot tbh

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

I’d like to see Play. Especially offering the USA bank of connections.

I just hesitate around then due history of WOW and them been a carbon copy of WOW.

 

[752]

I did and still do feel like that with Flybe..! think its a sensible shout, hope it works well from LPL for them also.

Have a couple of glasses too many of wine tonight WH. Loosen the lips (or typing fingers in this case)…..

A couple of glasses and I wouldn't even be able to turn my phone on! My typing fingers are sealed. I know nothing.......

 

[LBA4EVER]

I think we should have a game, each member who regularly posts on here should each guess 3 potential airlines, the one who gets it right with their 1st choice is the winner haha
My guesses are..
1 PLAY to KEF
2. Wideroe into bergen and scandanavia
3 serena air to ISB using A330.

One outsider would be blue air (although the airline has troubles atm)

 

[752]

Think all Pakistan airlines have issues at the moment! Wonder if peel will be selling and wideboys equipment cheap for LBA to pick up (just a thought) hopefully one day we will need it!
