Leeds Bradford - General Thread

I wonder if it's for the land or for the airport as a going concern? That's if the rumour is true of course

BBC Look North could have a field day with this sort of news/rumour. Probably along the lines of how important DSA is compared to LBA!

BBC Lunchtime bulletin just mentioned council's plea to CAA not to remove ATC.

Hmmm - interesting can't help but think this still part of the due diligence & if this bid should be successful it could take a while for airport operations to start again, if this is the intentions of the potential new owners. in my view the longer this takes the harder it will become to get fully operational again as said my many posts previously

I wish the bbc were as enthusiastic about LBA as they are with DSA, never ending coverage in desperation for DSA to stay open, what a bunch the bbc are!

You expect anything less from British Bashing Corporation? Same manipulative new's outlet that amazingly pushes the green BS agenda. Sorry "climate change"

Should be rebranded the BPC. It's cringeworthy these days.

 

[Finger66]

BBSC is even better. Work that one out for yourselves!!

Yet, if you read the ‘Save DSA’ Facebook group, there’s endless wailing about how Leeds-centric and pro-LBA Look North is. Can’t both be right.

They must live on a different planet then as I’ve never seen LN saying anything good about LBA.

It’s not the BBC’s job to say ‘anything good’ about any airport, they’re supposed to report what’s going on.

 

[A400]

And not report anything good? But will still publish anti airport stuff…

Exactly - and without bias. But that hasn't been the case at LBA. They have always focussed on the negative and ignored the positives or at best downplayed them. Even when we had the chance of a new terminal they spent more time going on about night flights, noise, pollution etc. and giving plenty of airtime to the anti LBA group, GALBA - none of which was really relevant as the issue was a new building, not growth. The growth has already been approved in 2019 and will happen with or without the terminal.

No longer do the BBC report neutrally. They report to suit their agenda.

Not directly ,LBA related but apparently DSA radar closed down at 1800 today.

Note to ALL

Doncaster airport may have closed its doors but it's forum on here hasn't. In not using the other areas of the forum we risk becoming a one trick pony risking the future of the entire forum. Please stop posting other airport related items in the Leeds forum. The DSA forum is only two clicks away.

Edit: I will let this conversation run but please avoid it in future.

In my defence, I did post this information on the DSA thread as well, starting the current discussion there, and where I have posted many times. It was just for information in passing as the closure of DSA radar will impact on LBA ATC.

Guys not here in the LBA forum. Please, if want to discus that you'll have to take it to the general discussion forum section which intentionally isn't indexed by Google.

Can't find the general discussion forum

Can't find the general discussion forum

WHAT?

Just scroll down the Forum page and it's near the bottom (here to be precise - General Discussion forum).
Although, there is already a 'Climate Change' thread in the 'Current Affairs' forum (Climate Change and it's Effects), which is more appropriate.
