Leeds Bradford: Aircraft Movements, Flight Logs & Daily Heads Up

[SierraHotel]

Are we due an A321 in then?

 

[LBA4EVER]

Anyone know what's actually wrong with her right now?

Was thinking the same, what problems do seem to keep occuring with these 300s? Minor issues or more serious?

Believe a B738, think JZBX positioned in from MAN earlier so that could be today's cover

A good few nice movements due into LBA Tuesday.

13:05 - AXY493Y from SKG = CRJ2, 9H-CWM
14:00 - VJH767 from HER = E35L, D-AFBS
14:04 - VJH763 from HER = E35L, D-AAHD
14:35 - AXE8164 from SZG = B733, LY-BGS

They are some good movements. If only they were the airliner equivalents operating regular services - now that would start to provide some nice variety.
That all said, happy to take the list above today.

I agree with your expression of concern Finger. I feel exactly the same and mentioned it in a post some time ago, specifically about the 733's being unreliable and forever going tech.

Jet2 have a good reputation but good reputations can be ruined very quickly by people telling their friends (or anyone who will listen) that they were delayed by x or y hours when their Jet2 flight was disrupted by a broken down aircraft. The fact that Jet2 probably worked their socks off to rectify the problem by mending the aircraft minimizing the delay, utilizing a spare they had sitting around not earning its keep or even flying in a replacement, at great expense, will do nothing to prevent anger and disillusionment about the Company.

They need to be very careful with their use of older airframes particularly those that they know from bitter experience have caused them problems in the past.

I have seen several posts on LinkedIn recently complaining about Jet2, didn't read them word for word, one was a up with the accommodation and cant recall the other!

Previously poorly 733 G-GDFM which hasn’t flown in service since 3 August is according to FR down to do LS 247 to Faro this afternoon and then a return flight from PMI (LS238) departing at 22.30. There is nothing shown for a flight from FAO to PMI. An error perhaps?

Must have been a glitch, as it is now

GDFO to Faro & return
GDFK To and from PMI LS496

Looks like she’s still poorly then.

 

[Finger66]

Failed Medicine then!

The 733 LY-BGS appears to be the Leeds United team bus to Dublin. Due out tomorrow morning at 1030.

I believe she’s on antiflyotics.

I believe she’s on antiflyotics.

Love it - that's one of the best I have heard

 

[Len Fish]

Thanks, I try my best although probably not to everyone’s taste! I’m no Jason Manford, which is probably a good thing on here.

They appear to have worked. Back in the air today.

Seems we had a visit from a Boeing C17 Globemaster earlier too.

You did indeed ZZ178 for the spotters from Edinburgh to RAF Waddington info from the LBAblogspot. Looks like a touch and go or something as arrival and departure both shown at 17:17.

Can't sleep in this sticky weather 🙃

 

[BCFC]

And isn't another common factor that both had recently been in for major C checks prior to the season starting?

I remember FO having a C check in Dublin I think and she was nothing but trouble when she came back.

It was a low approach and go around.
