Wait until their 787s are regular too. Well it's almost April 1st.......

But yes it is/they are quite regular. Does anyone know if there is an ongoing reason for this?

I knew someone was going to mention about there x3 daily 787 LBA service we can dream i guess. I do recall a qatar A320 at LBA quite few years back?

Qatar Executive is the private jet arm of Qatar Airways. They operate long-range business jets all around the world for VIPs, government, and corporate clients rather than scheduled airline routes (so have nothing to do with the airline I'm afraid).

As they keep turning up at LBA, it’s almost certainly for a regular client or business in the region that use them, just like VistaJet/Flexjet etc.

 

[BCFC]

Refuelled at Multiflight and then went onto Antigua.
The other week same thing but then went onto MCO….so all I can presume is that LBA is a refuelling stop for them.

 

[mullion]

Yes we had one the other day at MAN which went on to Florida

No, these aircraft are just highly utilised and therefore made it made a short turnaround at LBA before heading off on its next trip. These aircraft can fly over 14hrs without refuelling so very rarely ever require a fuel stop. In this occasion the flight arrived from Tulum, Mexico and departed to Antigua. Given these companies don’t operate like airlines, they regularly reposition their aircraft large distances whilst empty just to pick up the next set of clients which may have been the case in this instance.

 

[752]

Anyone know why Ryanair position EI-EVG into LBA from STN at 15:34 and has now gone straight back at 16:16?

 

[YorkshireLad]

One would presume it's something to do with tech aircraft EI-EKT. Ryanair's operations have been somewhat chaotic at LBA the past couple of days, I may do a deeper dive later on the Ryanair thread

 

[jason1-11]

Is FR24 purely teasing us, by showing a KLM 737 operating into LBA tomorrow

 

[YorkshireLad]

Checked the KLM booking engine - indeed there will be a B737-700 on the teatime KL1024 rotation! Might have to pop up to see it!
