and servisair are having a mare with what they already have, these should be interesting days!

[dwlpl]

Liverpool reports that more than 331,000 have passed through the airport in April an increase of more than 29% on April 2004.

They are also said to be on target to pass the 4million passengers mark for the 2005 end of year total, up from 3.3million for 2004.

Liverpool/Tenerife Route to be Started

I am led to believe that Liverpool is to have a Tenerife service some
time later this year.

I do not know what airline/aircraft/frequency/start date as yet.

[WOWBOY]

It could be the proposed start-up airline Nexus Airways as they startingin summer 2005??

[lagerlout]

all quiet on the news front @ LPL. Come on guys what are the latest rumours coming out?

Seems like ages since the last route announcement!

[fox_trot_oscar]

How's the operational side of things going at LPL with all this growth? One contributor advises that Servisair are already having a 'mare' pre peak summer (not sure what constitutes a mare....) and LJLA handling have removed a large portion of the wing of one aircraft (grounded for a long time) and dented another in less than a week in recent days...

Rumour going around re basing of more aircraft at Liverpool:

easyJet - 2 to 4 737's (currently 7)
Ryanair - 2 or 3 737's (currently 4)
flyBE - yet to decide

[lagerlout]

what substance is there to these rumours???

Or is it a bit more of a wish list!

[dwlpl]

Rumour by its nature cannot be said to be true or otherwise until it happens or not.

Time will tell.

[Caslance]

Imagine how boring life would be if we only ever heard the rumours that turn out to be true!

[dwlpl]

.... or rumours that are on the pessimsitic side of things such as the original rumour that said that Ryanair were basing (just) 2 737's at Liverpool when it was 4 737's.

[bmibaby.com]

Lots of news on how the new low-cost airline flights are contributing to LPL's passenger numbers, but how are flyjem's multi-daily flights to IOM doing, and with two extra pax-configured ATPs rumoured to be on the way (I'm sure it was three they ordered from Biman/United Express) will they be expanding on more domestics or some international routes?

[Caslance]

Yes, dwlpl.....

But why do they have that statue of Mike Harding in the Terminal?

Seriously, though - I'm the first to admit that Liverpool's expansion has been a real success story and good news for everyone in the North West.

[dwlpl]

bmibaby.com

Appears flyJem are doing well from LPL.

Since they started on the IOM route from LPL, traffic has grown by an average of more than 13% each month.

As for more routes out of Liverpool because they took there time (and they still have said nothing) to announce what they intend to do next, flyBE have moved in and stole its thunder. In June flyBE are to announce more routes including more domestic ones so Liverpool will be well covered in domestic destinations served.

Could be flyJem are left with domestic routes to Stansted and Gatwick unless they go head-to-head with flyBE.

FLYBE LPL ROUTES

Heard that LGW and NWI are the destinations to be announced, can anyone shed any light on that??

[Yeah Whatever]

get more rest

you need to have a little snooze by a quiet pond!!!!

[dwlpl]

Rumour (with all that goes with it - see above) I will say Norwich, Aberdeen, Inverness and Southend among others.
