Eastern Airways' Embraer 170 G-CMLI will position in from HUY tomorrow to pick up Leeds United FC and transport them down to SOU, ahead of what hopefully will be a victorious trip to Fratton Park, Portsmouth on Sunday lunchtime. No doubt the same, or a similar aircraft will bring them home late Sunday afternoon.

Bradford Bulls are in Toulouse tomorrow as well so surprised they didn’t hop onboard too

Provided the aeroplane isn't really, REALLY needed to fly from Newquay to Gatwick!

 

[BarnsleyHolidays]

It appears that a visit from Jet2 Airbus 321 Neo G-SUND operating the training detail may be with us in the next hour due to the adverse weather at Newcastle.

Added at 0750 Now on finals for Runway 32. First visit.

To near the sea with its sea frets! Teesside, and Humberside were the same. Not wanting to be left out though, LBA now has fog. The very same sea fret has headed inland, though visibility isn't too bad.

[White Heather]

Eastern Airways will be positiong an E170 in from MAN at 1655 this afternoon, which will become the Leeds United team bus for their match at QPR tomorrow lunchtime. It will depart to LTN at 1750 or thereabouts. No doubt it will be back again tomorrow evening.

Excuse my ignorance but why don't they use LCY as its only 14 miles from the QPR ground, Luton is 35 miles away? On paper both City and UTD should win but who knows?.

LCY has weekend flight restrictions I believe.

 

[rollo]

LCY is closed for 23.5 hrs from 13.00 on Saturdays with reduced flights allowed over the rest of weekends.

It's a bit perverse in a way as the airport is designed to directly serve the City of London the financial capital of Europe which is pretty much the ultimate 24/7 business on a global scale.

 

[White Heather]

There's no Eastern departure to Leeds from Luton scheduled today nor any arrival on the LBA board, so it looks as though LUFC are on the bus home from QPR. In fact there's an Eastern E170 positioning flight from LTN to CWL so it looks like that's probably the aircraft used by Leeds yesterday.

Most offices within the City do not operate on weekends and the London Stock Exchange is not open for business on a Saturday or Sunday so that fits with LCY’s operating pattern.

Im actually staying in the hilton hotel which is located right next to the LCY runway during a wkend in June as my folks and i are attending an event at the excel, so will definitely be able to check out the activity at LCY fri and upto sat lunchtime then from sunday afternoon once lcy reopens. With a 1500m long runway and 5 degree descent approach its certainly an interesting airport!
We looked at flying to LCY by using FR from lba to DUB then BA from DUB to LCY but sadly there is no late evening FR back to LBA in June so the connection time between BA and FR in DUB was too tight.
