HI there im steve and this is my first post, Im local leeds boy and work at LBA on the ramp.
To contine the convosation, Saheen Air which has been floting around has now purchased a A310 as far a know and will be starting operations into LBA from pakistan, and that sort or region in February.
What im trying to say, if this pulls off will this be the start of the medium/long hauls returning to LBA. Just on friday the 30th nov, there was a direct service to New Orleans from LBA by TUI. Maybe this might help the other airlines have a look in and see what they can do?
Just to add found this video on youtube of past users of LBA
