I think the LBA-LHR was half an hour late departing so they must have made up time.This evenings northbound LHR-LBA "BER758" has actually landed 4 mins early, operated by G-JECY

Around 90 minutes late today, along with virtually everything else. All flights seem to be between 45 and 90 minutes late departing.amidst claims on line of chaos at security. They are probably exaggerating but undoubtedly very long queues given the number of scheduled early departures today.I think the LBA-LHR was half an hour late departing so they must have made up time.
To use a different analogy, the trouble is the Leeds to Heathrow route is like the pub down the road which has changed hands so many times and been closed for so long in-between. It's lost the regulars it once had and It's difficult to see how it can become the success it once was. The one thing in Flybe's favour though is the size of the aircraft should be more economical to run both with fuel and fewer passengers. Fingers crossed they can make it a success.Loganair has just announced its axing it's Teesside to London Heathrow & Southampton.
It might help Flybe with the Leeds/Bradford - London Heathrow route.
Well spotted!
Its a big 'if' though.So if BE become happy with both BHD and LHR could we see them also reappear on SOU, NQY, ABZ and DUS? Potentially enough for at least a 2 unit base and all routes except BHD would have no competition. T3 taking their old and decrepit bat (J41) home to HUY May end up working very much in our favour
Im afraid to say the presenter is very much correct, regarding terminal expansion, whats that saying "you cant polish a t***"
The extension planned will make no difference whatsoever esp with the big increase of pax planned. The terminal will always look the same with its very gloomy, grey, miss match, low ceiling and out of date look. I hate the small passage way feel, much prefer the open plan high ceiling feel which sadly can never be achieved in our 1960s terminal. Ok going to hide now hahaThe video report is a little unfair given that he used LBA at one of the most challenging times for all airports in the U.K. That said his general comments about the terminal are spot on and unlike the current short term staffing issues, that problem is not going to go away until the new extension is built and even then there are doubts as to how big a difference that will make particularly if passenger numbers significantly increase.
