I'm blowing the Leeds trumpet but arguably Leeds is too big to ignore now. Folk can argue all they like about this hilltop airport with a runway not pointing into the prevailing wind, but one thing is certain which is it pulls in the punters. It's Leeds' catchment area and bums on seats that make money, not long runways facing a particular direction. Sooner or later Tui will have to follow the market forces if it is to regain its Yorkshire market share.

@ChrisBBB please review the posting links section in the help pages. It's located in the dark section at the bottom of the page.
Assuming that DSA doesn't reopen and subsequently become the UKs No 1 base (I think not) then I feel sure you're right and once the terminal is finished and there's room to breathe inside on a busy day, TUi will base here again. How many aircraft is another matter but even one is progress. The relationship between LBA and TUi seemed broken after their defection to DSA and in later years, their axing of the Sunwing base mid contract , but since DSA closed there's been a steady increase in presence here which hopefully continues
 
It was a post on one of TUI groups on Facebook from someone who has it on "good Authority" that TUI will be flying 2 new routes from LBA next year.

It was posted anonymously possibly because they work for TUI so have heard something. A base was ruled out though. For now it seems to be a rumour but we shall see if anything comes of it..

Coincidence or not? TUI are to put there Winter 2025/2026 programme on sale next Thursday, July 18th

Could we see Tenerife & Malaga re-added as both routes could easily be operated year round and are current pick up points for TUI Marella Cruises

Was anything announced last Thursday?
 
Just a quick update on G-TAWG. The process is now at the below stage, the next and final stage is publication.

Consultation stage - when an investigation is largely complete and a confidential draft report has been sent out for formal consultation in accordance with the regulations. The consultation process includes the time taken to consider representations and amend the draft report prior to publication.

It was G- TAWD wasn't it, if you're talking about our runway excursion.

according to some people, you only need 1 day in each of the Yorkshire Dales, North Wales and Lake District "to have seen it all". Which is why its minibus tour number 3 this year of the Yorkshire Dales for me on 16th October. Different routes and different things to see each tour.
Apologies for any issues today, I was planning on updating the site but sadly something went wrong so the upgrade has been postponed. Apologies again for any inconvenience caused.

I've done 2 minibus tours with Mountain Goat this week. Monday was North York Moors with over 600 photos and today High Adventure in the Lakes with 750. photos. Slightly snap happy.
I've asked Gareth Southgate for the winning lottery numbers. He said 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
