Nothing of interest? So Titan Airways isn’t? We don’t get them in often.

There will be the Lauda Air A320s in summer from Zadar, and the Freebird A320s from Dalaman & Antalya.

Fantastic work, I can see a lot of effort went into it.

No not really, seen them the loads before.

Sorry but the is nothing I can do about that. I so wish I could tell the tour operators to use some exotic airlines instead of the usual Titan Airways, Enter Air & Jet2.

You should appreciate the operators we have. Airlines don’t come for spotters thrills. Summer 23 looks alright to me.

Looks like we are getting a 2nd Lourdes Pilgrimage flight on behalf of "The Diocese of Hallam". This charter has in previous years operated from Doncaster-Sheffield but looks to be moving up to Leeds/Bradford for 2023. There tour is been organised by Joe Walsh Tours whom normally use Albastar Airways Boeing 737 aircraft for its charter flights.

Departs = Friday, June 30th
Returns = Thursday, July 6th

As previously posted this years annual "Leeds Diocese" pilgrimage is been operated by Tagney Tours and the charter flights will be operated by Titan Airways, Airbus aircraft

Departs = Friday, July 7th
Returns = Thursday, July 13th

Quite mad, really. The Albastar operating for JWT arrives from LDE at LBA and presumably positions out empty on 6 July, and then the Titan aircraft positions in to LBA empty to fly from LBA to LDE on the following day. You suspect Greta would have a thing or two to say about it ....

What's it got to do with Greta?

 

[Aviador]

Isn't she locked up in Germany at the moment anyway.

Sadly, they let her go home.

Walking home ? No, thought not!

Cycling and maybe.

I’m not a fan of hers but what a strange comment!

Makes me wonder why they don't pool their resources and charter a single, larger aircraft for both groups. I'm sure it would be cheaper.

In the past we've had a Corsair 747 doing this charter, and that was just for the Leeds diocese. And a TriStar.
Does seem odd but it's probably down to hotel availability at Lourdes and the fact the bookings were made when DSA existed. Now DSA is closed, they might combine Leeds and Sheffield in future years, with a bigger terminal, on a bigger aircraft, assuming of course that LBA is equipped to handle it on the apron.

I remember the 747. Took ages to get pax on board as many were disabled. No doubt disembarking on their return was much faster as they would all have been cured!

Lourdes is a fascinating airport with multiple retired aircraft, including A380's waiting to be scrapped so worth the trip just for that.
