Yes its all happening !
But is it not just a little sad at the same time? The arrival of the lowcost era has meant the closure of MYT at Leeds...remember the summers of two based A320's! ... The 757 every winter!.. The busy year round BY 757 sched then the based 767!..Remember Friday nights with a ramp full of interesting UK and Spanish Charter aircraft..!
AEU! Offering a great service to its pax.. a nice modern Aircraft.. investing in Leeds with a base..crew room! ...
Airlines Like BMI, KLM, Eastern pushed further down the priority list at Leeds... airlines that have kept the airport going! Through the hard times! Remained loyal!
We are all happy to see that ramp full, to see a success story! But what hapened to variety..what happend to choice. Its just so sad to see all these carriers closing at Leeds.
The loss of AEU is rather grim. The dedicated crew, ... and also a big loss for Penuille Servisair !!!! The BMI contract for the A320 going to Aviance no doubt.
Imagine another massive industry downturn in Aviation.....do you think lowfare airlines that have been operating for 2mins will be able to surrvive.. worrying when you think how much of a LCC base LBA now is...
