Thanks, not sure about those early morning arrivals- weather wise.

Thanks, not sure about those early morning arrivals- weather wise.

They haven't been a problem upto now.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

They haven't been a problem upto now.

Yes they have. I remember a number of posts on the subject, although not recently I admit.

 

[White Heather]

Yes they have.

Very few have diverted due to low visibility. They have an excellent record of cat 3B landings. Most diverts have been wind related.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Just found this during a random search.

   Yes, it’s a good sign that both Wizz and LBA have shown the flexibility and speed to try and sort the problems out. Hopefully the diversions will just be a distant memory going forward.

The comment doesn't make much sense in the context of weather though. Are you sure that doesn't; refer to that brief period when there was confusion about whether some of the Qc1.0 aircraft weren't permitted to depart after 11:00 and so some late running flights had to divert to Liverpool to avoid being locked in overnight.

Pretty sure it does. Nothing to do with weather.

 

[Finger66]

Does that also suggest a positive CLEUD outcome?

No. It's from ages ago.

So only one flight extra per week?

Any increase is a step in the right direction, and they're still here. It's nearly a year away too so there's little doubt things will change from this initial schedule.

Good to see, no doubt the DOO & Times will change as they mess with the schedule. Hopefully some increased frequencies will come.

C'mon Wizz, throw us a new route.

On a side note LPL & BHX had their BUD route cut for W25. Good to see our program still remains without cuts.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Like i keep mentioning wizz are the ones to target for expansion for a whole number of reasons, LBA could certainly be their east of england base, MAN is not an issue plus LPL is their west ops, wizz cover many routes that LBA are crying out for, wizz use the perfect aircraft types and its looking less likely we will see anything big from easyjet for the next year or so now so abit more room perhaps on the apron for now.
Although only 1 extra flight so far for summer 26 its still an increase, and with all other destinations available at the same frequency with no cuts like at other uk airports id say thats a good sign, so come on wizz lets at least have a few more destinations!

Vilnius is an obvious one. A Wizz base and a proven route when Ryanair did it, with great loads. But as they do, Ryanair fell out with the national airport operators and axed it apart from one or two UK airports. But, no doubt, Wizz would need to add a based aircraft or drop another route, or at least drop some ex Vilnius rotations to add LBA to their network.

Would that be down to aircraft shortages due to engine issues? If so whats the current situation with the fleet? When will they be back to normal ops?

Wizz do announce new destinations fairly regularly so presumably they feel they can get better yields on routes other than to Leeds.

Its also interesting that Ryanair offer so many Kaunas-UK flights yet dont operate to Leeds. Maybe theres just not the demand

Ryanair used to operate to Kaunas from LBA but I seem to recall they dropped it in favour of Vilnius. Pretty sure that when the axed the Vilnius route due to raised fees, other airports had theirs axed too with just BHX and maybe STN continuing.

Not sure how they will know what yields they will achieve on a route, and to a country that they've never operated from LBA?

I suppose the same way they always estimate viability. Market research.

Market research will inform demand but how will it show the likely yield on a route? I doubt Ryanair will be making their yield data available to them . Chances are the yield will be similar to their other routes.
