ILS 119.5 - approximately 8 to 10 landings per week there.

Leodis - the undulation is not a concern, BRS is very similar and I don't have a problem with that. My complaint is with the hundreds of scrappy surface repairs that kick the crap out of our landing gear and rattle the teeth of our pax every time we land/take off. Believe me when I say that it is the worst runway of any regional UK airport. Obviously this will not affect my Company's decision whether or not to operate from LBA, but we can try and bring pressure to bear on the airport authorities by complaining through the appropriate Company channels - Flight Safety/QA Departments.

You might not like what I say, but to me (as a pilot who has a duty of care to his passengers and aircraft) it's a valid issue.
