As far as I understand the airport won't normally post an ETA until the said flight is airborne or they have been given an update from ATC. So expect an update around 23:20 if the BE756 gets away on its new rescheduled time.

The main point of this, is that an evening 2nd daily flight is actually operating today. Yeah

Not tonight they don't!
As per my last post there's been a mix up somewhere with the flight numbers. Either way, whether it's the 755/756 that's operating or the 757/758 there's a hefty delay, but yes, a flight is operating.

Seems that LHR is confused by the fact the 2nd flight is not operating. LBA said it was the BE757 Southbound which seems logical.
I dont know where flight radar 24 takes its feed from (I assumed from data transmitted from the aircraft) but the flight number tag on flight radar showed 755 for the southbound and presumably 756 for northbound - which agrees with the data on the LHR arrivals/departure board.

My assumption was if both LHR and flight radar show BE755/756 its logical the LBA board is wrong.

Where does FR get its flight numbers from?

Well my assumption is that FR24 is wrong. It is far from reliable when it comes to flight numbers or operating at all, regularly showing arrivals and departures that dont exist. Perhaps your dislike f the LBA arrivals and departures board colours your judgement? Why would Flybe operate a much earlier flight with an even greater delay with the later BE757/8 just vanishing completely? Surely the earlier flight was the one axed and the late evening flight operated. That's the one that normally operates during this period of two flights per day isn't it? I thought it was the additional (middle) rotation that isn't operating at present?
 
Yes, it should have been the 757/8 so in this case it looks like the LBA board was correct and both FR24 and LHR were wrong.

I thought the flight number would be generated from the aircrafts equipment but maybe I am being simplistic.
 
It's bizarre that the arrivals board at LBA is now a touch stone of whether you dislike the airport or not.

FR24 takes data from ADS-B.

BE755/756 was supposed to depart at 1600 and 1805, but was delayed. The later 757/758 rotation was cancelled.

Certainly not a touchstone and it's not really worth pursuing this. I just like things to be right. A lifetime working in Customs compliance made me that way!
 
DH8D (G-ECOR) has been in LBA since arriving from LHR on the morning of Friday 10th June.

Someone on the Dried Plum forum has posted that a replacement aircraft (a Marathon Airlines E170) has been bought into the fleet to cover a Flybe DH8D that suffered damage due to a hard landing.

This may be a case of 2+2=5, but currently all the other Flybe aircraft are flying, so I’m guessing that the aircraft which suffered damage is the one sat in LBA?

Yeap Dash 8-Q400, G-ECOR is still tech at LBA, posted about the leased in aircraft late last night.

One to look out for. Flybe are leasing Embraer 175, SX-ASK from "Marathon Airlines" to cover the Tech Dash 8-Q400, G-ECOR.
It's due to position into Belfast city at 08:30 this morning as "BEE120P" from Athens.
 
Well Flybe website is showing the LBA-LHR route going back to 3x daily Mon-Fri & 1x Sat-Sun from tomorrow. LBA-BHD is also increased back to 2x daily Mon-Fri 1x Sat & 2 Sun

Whatever happens next is anyone's guess seeing as Flybe MK2 flights operations are up & down like yo-yo's!
Let us hope that returning to a 3 per day stops the tit for tat comments about the Flybe LBA-LHR service. Assuming it runs to schedule that is!
 
Flight prices on LHR are starting to harden with one hitting a seat only price of £71.99 - interestingly the demand is around the one thats been knocked off recently early evening! This has to be good news if they can make it work operationally!

Lets hope its not just the threat of a rail strike.

It's a forum. It's here for people to discuss issues that they may not always agree on.

Heads Up!

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
Heatwave Mk2 next week?
Some explosive weather build-ups currently in the North of England. What is it like where you are?
LBA: B737-300 G-GDFK empty down to Paris at 16:15 to operate the return LS268 back to Leeds 20:00 ETA where it will then operate the delayed LS265 to Malaga 20:40ETD
LBA: Albastar B737-800 EC-MUB positioning in tommorow afternoon from Gatwick 15:45 to operate a charter to Lourdes/Tarbes on Friday afternoon 14:00 AP7721 STC
I don't believe I am quite covering enough roles at work. Its now 4 on a bad day, 5 on a good day and there is scope for a 6th and 7th role. Still on minimum pay but had the biggest payrise in the company,
