And these 300’s are not leaving the fleet until 2027?
The A321’s are not suited to LBA’s runway so we will get the old 800’s no doubt.
I know it's a long way off but what happens when all the 800’s are phased out, what then?

The A321NEO is more then capable of operating out of here with a full load to all med destinations.

What about Turkey and Canary Islands?

You can gauranntee the air Blue A321 will be full of luggage so a heavy pay load to IST. I’m sure it will be fine. Hopefully the flights get put on sale soon.

What about Turkey and Canary Islands?

Not a problem either. Monarch, Thomas Cook Airtours/My Travel have all operated A321 to the Canary Islands and Turkey from LBA in the past and we currently have Wizz Air using A321Neo’s to Eastern Europe

As I understand it’s Jet2 choice at the minute to keep there A321Neo engines de-rated.
I think when Jet2 base them at LBA they will be using them on a mix of short Med and longer runs to Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Canary Islands and other routes .

Given that Airblue are supposedly intending to operate from Leeds to Islamabad via Istanbul on an A321NEO you would have to assume that Turkey, and the Canaries are not an problem for the aircraft type but maybe for Jet2 as long as they operate with their Leap engines at reduced power.

What about Turkey and Canary Islands?

The airport authority actually quote the A321NEO/XLR as being the aircraft best suited to LBA with the least operational limitations.

As you are most familiar with Cardiff, like Cardiff, Leeds has seen just about all the wide bodied types over the years but with some limitations depending on the destinations served.

I think the most recent wide bodied aircraft I can recall were Onur Air A300 operating with full payloads to Turkey; PIA A310 operating with full payloads to Islamabad; Shaheen Air International operating A310 with full payloads to Islamabad and TUI under the guise of Thomson Boeing 767-200 operating flights with full payloads to the Mediterranean and Canaries.

Thomson also infrequently operated the 767-200 to Bridgetown and the with the 767-300 but generally via another airport for a fuel stop.

We have also had a Wardair DC10-30 non stop to Toronto in lieu of the usual 747 via BHX outbound and Business Air 767 300 to one of the Arab airports, operating a Haj pilgrim flight.

All includes those. Including Egypt and one imagines Cape Verde. If the 800 didn’t struggle in winter to sharm with TUI a much more powerful NEO won’t struggle.

What about IPS…what aircraft did they use

 

[Len Fish]

They used the A330 NEO (Never Ever Operates).

 

[gulftraveller]

The A300 and A310 shared very high lift wings, so much so, some airlines regulated a slats only take off on the A310. The A321 does not have this advantage. Regulations for many aircraft are more cautious these days than 29/30 years ago. This is where the debate about the A321 comes from, I believe.

 

[Len Fish]

The 321 ceo/neo can and do operate out of LBA as we see on a regular basis so there is no real debate.

Flew back into LBA in the early hours of Saturday morning during storm Amy. Noticed that jet2 aircraft were parked backwards on the apron (tail facing the terminal) whilst other airlines were parked the conventional way. Is this normal procedure? Never noticed this at any other airport.

It’s a procedure for Jet2 usually if the winds are above 30knts or higher that they’ll ’turn them into the wind’

Yes they often turn aircraft into wind when the wind speed is significant and have done for years.
