The only places not on sale appear to be LBA, PIK, EXT & BOH - maybe all gone ?

Exeter isn't a base.

This is incredibly sad , if true. I've just looked for next year and you cant book for LBA but you can for, say, MAN. I just hope that it's an error. We need airline competition to keep pricing competitive at LBA.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Its Covid19 nothing to do with that

ok so if we had a 3 aircraft base like in the past would the same of happened?

I would be really surprised if it turned out we were not even receiving Ryanair flights to LBA from other bases like ALC! Really shocked about Dublin flights, a good reason for aer lingus to use an A320 into LBA?

Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, today (Fri 15th May) confirmed it has reduced its office headcount in Dublin, Stansted, Madrid and Wroclaw by over 250 through a combination of probation/fixed term contract ends, resignations and redundancies, as these people will not be required to...

Or like FR they might drop it as they know we can travel the 35 miles over the hill.

Not 35 either from Ilkley! Someone needs to get their odometer checked if it's showing 35 miles to MAN.

 

[White Heather]

Now your talking! 65 for me from Cookridge.

 

[White Heather]

One thing I can tell you is that if Ryanair have axed LBA, they don't seem to have told LBA about it!

leeds cc to Manchester cc is roughly 35-40miles but leeds cc to Manchester airport is like another 10-15miles extra

Well MAN is in Cheshire, not Manchester. Just 3 miles short of Altrincham, so best measure distance on that basis.

Maybe LBA are aware Ryanair is updating its systems and that we are due flights into leeds from other bases?

 

[White Heather]

No, LBA are not aware that the base is being pulled (if that is the case).

MAN airport terminal and a lot of the airfield is actually in Greater Manchester.

 

[White Heather]

Ok, well Greater Manchester is not Manchester itself. And part of the airport is in Cheshire and it is definitely a lot nearer to Altrincham than the City centre of Manchester.

 

[Jet3]

No, LBA are not aware that the base is being pulled (if that is the case).

They're aware, they're keeping it to themselves for the time being, what with the planning application going in. They'll then use it as an excuse to delay/cancel the terminal (should it be approved) in order to save face.

And your evidence is?

Evening all. This all needs putting into perspective. Many companies, not just in the travel sector, have taken a huge hit due to Covid 19 and need to restructure to come out of this as strong as possible. If FR are pulling the LBA base then on this occasion it will be very much for overall commercial reasons but can't believe they will give up DUB. Plenty of scope to use a DUB based unit for that. Yes it could be disappointing but Jet2 won't miss out on an opportunity. Could it also be that FR know there is Orange on the way and they may have thought commercially it makes sense to axe the LBA base. LBA is still not in a bad position at the moment to come out of this. But all airlines can't go on for ever with no flights so if this situation lasts another 3 months then expect some serious casualties. 6 months and then LBA could be in a mess..........unless they can orrange a replacement (deliberate typo). I love the passion everyone is showing for LBA, and quite rightly so, but LBA is not an exception here, it is part of the rule. Great time for a new terminal development because the old one will cope now for a while to come whilst a full recovery takes place, which it will, just over quite a long period. Then the new one is ready to take over....................
