Schedules for MAN indicate 13 based which is +1 from S19 and W19.
What is it compared to S18?

Well at this rate they will be no need for a new terminal!
1) Its absolutely nothing to do with max issues , its simply down to the very poor infrastructure with a terminal that's just not fit for purpose, and 2) yes other factors do include runway and weather issues and 3) MAN. Just get the bloody terminal built and decent infrastructure put in as I fear it may be too late!!
I've been told they are expecting 2x based aircraft at LBA next summer 2020 consisting of 1x Boeing 737-800NG & 1x Boeing 737-MAX.
At the last Ryanair AGM we were told that no issues with the late delivery of MAX aircraft, as already they had agreed adjusted leasing dates for aircraft that should have left the company and the arrangements were flexible as no one knew when the MAX would fly again.Since posting the revised summer schedule 24 hours ago I've been talking to 2x LBA based Ryanair employees, they haven't being informed of any of the cuts that are currently showing on the Ryanair website.

It's surprising also to be told that 20+ new cabin crew have just been recruited for the LBA base.
It looks like these latest cuts might be connected to the delayed deliveries of the Boeing 737-MAX aircraft and not the fault of the airport.
Hopefully once the deliveries restart LBA will get its based aircraft and lost routes back.
I really do hope somebody at Ryanair HQ in Dublin imform the Leeds based staff what the hell is happening, as they are in complete shock at my posting yesterday.
exactly! and why is that, its so bloody obviously, the terminal,apron,runway and overall infrastructure at LBA. we can chat about it all day but many just cant face the truth! Look at it this way,in an industry like most where cost against profit is tight which airport would you base at... airport 1 - large passenger base, cramped terminal with 2250m long runway subjected to adverse weather with higher chance or divert or put in hold using up more fuel or airport 2- large passenger base again, ever expanding terminal to cope with passenger numbers with 2 3048m long runways subjected to less adverse weather resulting in less cost. I know where I would base an airline at or lets say the biggest majority of it at and a smaller part of the airline would be at LBA due to the chances of extra costs thru divert and of course due to the current restraints the LBA terminal has.Ryanair aren't bothered about this place, they are only bothered about Manchester...end of!!

Whats that film with the famous line "you cant handle the truth" ! until this new terminal is built and better infrastructure is put in place LBA is a dead duck! like others on here have said January has to be the turning point!With all due respect to you, this is your opinion (which your entitled to) but it doesn’t make it true.
The part I find disappointing is the deafening silence from the Airports PR machine !
We all have our own theories as to what has driven this decision but if lbaspotters information is correct we will have lost an awful lot more seats than Doncasters Flybe operation earlier this year.
We knew within 24 hours about the link road plans being canceled via the press and not even a comment on the matter by them so far.
I can only imagine how disappointed they must be to be let down by the local government who now seem to have a new agenda to limit growth when most of us thought they at last had come on board to be a partner for the future.
With the present stance any runway or other than agreed planning applications, would probably not be approved so how do you push forward with any development plans with no support.
The only news we get is bad news so fingers 66 crossed for the meeting in January to put a smile back on all our faces.
Does that include the extras like checked baggage though?FAO route I was picking flights up for £25-£30 each way.
Always used to fly MON to Alicante from LBA for around £70-£100 rtn . excellent service from an airline that suited the type of passengers that are based in north leeds and the magic triangle as its called.It would be nice......when LS, MON and FR were all doing the FAO route I was picking flights up for £25-£30 each way.
