Speaking of Aer Lingus ATR diversion rate, this mornings DUB diverted to LPL.
Sadly, exactly the reason I won’t transit via DUB out of LBA until the route is serviced by Cat3 capable machines. Too much risk of missing your connection

 

[Finger66]

Problem is on DUB we need that interline/connection all on EI so definitely needs an equipment upgrade. That said they must be happy with performance/load/yields as must the travellers themselves because if it wasn't performing well overall we wouldn't have the service. Totally agree re easyJet for BFS/BHD though as that's all P2P

 

[Snackbar]

Firmly on the downside though is the diversion record of the ATR's at Leeds. Really need something more cross-wind and low vis capable.

Yes - I can still remember Aer Lingus BAC 1-11 on that route - that said I will still be using it for my trips to BNA….

And their 737 200 QC. In fact the first ever Aer Lingus jet flight to Dublin was a 737,.registration EI-ASC.

It seems that EI ATR Ops. are cancelled ( or at least suspended) from Dublin and Belfast City No doubt a consequence of the high winds.

An example of why until they improve their reliability at LBA I cannot use them to transit to long haul. It’s sad really as they’re one of only 2 options to transit to long haul from LBA

I agree, you need certainty when you are making connections.

Must have been bad at Dublin today as several Dublin flights diverted to MAN including two Aer Lingus A321s, a Ryanair and a Luxair 737 700. The ATRs would have had no chance.

Looks like the 4th daily BHD TUE has been removed for summer

 

[SierraHotel]

If it potentially benefits EZYs BFS ops, then I feel the positives outweigh the negatives.

I don't see it as a big negative, maybe just adapting their program. It was amazes me that BHX has x6 daily BHD flights, hopefully LBA can gain more but x4 daily on some days is still really good.

easyJet still looking strong on BFS also.

 

[Finger66]

It will be to create space in the schedule to operate a weekly flight to DSA from BHD because remember its LBA alone that killed DSA!

Except its at least a year early!

AM BHD rotation not due to operate for the next couple of days of FR24, is this a temp thing?

 

[Finger66]

Looks to be op again from Tue 11Feb so suggest this is only temporary. Not sure of the reasons though - could be fleet or crew issues?

Aer Lingus Regional is celebrating over 500,000 passengers flying at Leeds Bradford Airport

To mark the milestone, one lucky passenger received two complimentary round-trip tickets to use across our entire network!

We are delighted to offer convenient and reliable connections between Leeds-Dublin and Leeds-Belfast.

Passengers flying from Leeds to Dublin can connect to Aer Lingus’ extensive North American network, with direct flights to cities such as New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington DC, and Toronto.

Thank you to all our customers. Here’s to more journeys ahead!

Good old Aer Lingus, in their various frames, forms and franchises have never been far away from Leeds Bradford Airport over the decades. Much the same story at Bristol. Even with their frequent operational difficulties with the ATR72, Aer Lingus have stuck with us. Perhaps they can do the Heathrow flights for us.

 

[leedslad]

It's a superb option for getting to the US and they should try make the most of it. Clearing US immigration whilst changing planes at Dublin makes the door to door journey time comparable with a direct flight.

Maybe this might be an incentive to upgrade to main fleet A319's
