Nothing has been changed but we had a server outage yesterday morning which caused a few problems. If anyone has any particular issue, please pop a comment in the relevant thread in the feedback forum so it can be looked into.

Its been like this for a few weeks, Royal Air Maroc ads seem to be most prevalent- promoting flights from Manchester.

I personally have absolutely no interest in DSA. I am bewildered at the level of fascination by several LBA members. LBA should be able to be hold it's own whether or not, potential increased competition comes from a reopened DSA.

And more to the point, in using the DSA forum on Forums4airports, you would be helping to support the forum as a whole and help it to grow.

I get it on the LBA sub forum, but what you are suggesting is patently untrue. The reason it didn’t work before was because they failed to attract business away from competitors like LBA. Be under no illusion that the new business case is built around the same principles.

Yes it may drive down costs, but it will only serve to hurt the bottom line.

I don't go on DSA forum as no interest in the place!!!!!!

If it does reopen and an airline decides to operate say a route to palma whether it be an airline we already have or one we don't currently see it could be a loss for Leeds who may have got the additional flights
Yes Palma is saturated at from lba but just making a point.

Think logically if tesco opened next to Morrisons do you not think Morrisons would lose some custom?

 

[BCFC]

We all like to know about DSA?…..don’t give 2 hoots what goes on in a dusty airport.

I understand your point but they will be after business from LBA and also with current expansion at LBA and MAN they will be eager to get moving quick and with their public subsidy will use these means’s to attempt airlines

Think I have counted there are 32 arrivals today at LBA during the period 0001 to 2359. Not at all bad for a winter Tuesday. Shows the real progress LBA is making which is only going to continue

There are more early departures between 0600 and 0700, probably necessary to get all daily flights in, and the aircraft back on the ground before the night closure, but this uses up more of the permitted 1200 winter night movements and will therefore reduce the unused 'carry over' into summer, (10%), thereby potentially also reducing the available night movements for summer. So they're likely to exceed the 'limit' according to some, by even more next year.

Of course, that doesn't bother me one jot, as I never hear them anyway, despite living close to the 32 final approach, but I'm just really concerned about the welfare of those who must not be named, who will have to spend even more time working nights on their spreadsheets, counting aeroplanes.

Ah, shame!

Un chuffing believable!! Look North banging on about DSA reopening and them who shall not be named moaning about night flight infringement in the same bulletin

Think you will find it quieter next week when the overnight closure begins on November11th.

I've just had an ad, on here, for a taxi company advertising 'book a taxi to Doncaster Airport!'

Lol you should have tried a dummy booking.

Right now, and for the last 2 years, only a dummy would book to go there! Somewhat annoying though to be inundated with ads for taxis to DSA on the LBA forum. It seems almost intentional.
