Great addition to the LBA network. It's about time we attracted a Turkish carrier. Sun Express have quite a big network out of Antalya so I wouldn't be surprised if connections will be available.

LBA have officially announced it quickly too. There marketing/press team seem to be on the ball now-a-days..

Finally what we have been waiting for, the turkish routes do extremely well so sun express should be a success , its good the airport are on the ball marketing the route as the vast majority of yorks public would not of heard of sun express. Just one neg, LBA is currently not on the drop down list on their website even though its been announced?
The icing on the cake would be turkish to istanbul

I'm reliably informed by a friend (you know who you are!) that Sun Express operate 9 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and have 32 more on order, so with LBA incentivising airlines to use them here, it could well be a MAX that we see here, at least on some flights.

The bulk of the fleet comprises the ubiquitous 737-800 and as the flight times are well away from the night time restrictions there wouldn’t be a need to incentivise the use of the Max, although as you say they could turn up at LBA in the normal course of their utilisation and their daytime use would no doubt please the local residents, well some of them! Whichever aircraft turn up, they’re highly welcome!

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
