More fab news for Donny today! that's a definite no no to wizz operating out of LBA.

 

[LBA4EVER]

The most likely candidates are, yet again, Manchester or Birmingham. Edinburgh has been mentioned but surely a central location within the UK is most likely.

On the subject of runway length Edinburgh airports runway is only 250metre longer than LBAs and look at what they get, 14.7million passengers last year and some daily widebodies!

 

[Wardair166]

Runway length is pretty academic in respect of pax numbers handled by a specific airport. There are far more significant factors at play.

Was this similar to the FlyBe weekly flights?

Good to see Belfast City & Aer Lingus back on the LBA live Arrivals boards once again! what with the new route launch tomorrow morning.

The first Belfast City flight has arrived. EI-FAW I believe. I can't help wondering why, as usual, the LBA route was one of the last to be introduced, particularly given the 150k per year passenger numbers on this route prior to the demise of Flybe.

 

[jason1-11]

The 2019 pax figures for LBA to BHD was 150K and 165K in 2018.

anybody know the pax number?

If this continues will they be any airlines left! How long can airlines last with literally all their planes grounded or limited services? Also its incredible to see even at MAN during some periods of the day only 2 or 3 arrivals per hr, and thats now, imagine it in winter! As for LBA sometimes hrs between arrivals!

With the continued refusal of governments to learn to live with this unfortunately this will continue. Thankfully backbenchers are starting now to get restless in UK, with the repeated bull sh*t coming from cabinet about suppression been the only “successful strategy” (clearly doesn’t work) and the refusal to have an adult discussion about different strategies. 6,000 scientists also declared that lockdown clearly doesn’t work. Doctors and nurses admitting it’s too much.

The tests that are being taken are not fit for purpose. They cannot detect covid 19 from any other virus or infections we have in our mouths or throats, and this includes the common cold. I have had this virus some moths ago and the dead debris will still be in my body, so I will test 'positive'.

lockdowns, restrictions and even social distancing does not work, end of! its a virus and it will go where it wants, in a very populated country it does not work.

That's quite right. The government are taking advice from the experts who have the backing of the Gates Foundation and the big Pharma companies. The object is control of the population for their benefit.
