LPL Baggage 28/11
Was on the BA LHR-MAN today which, along with 7 or 8 other A320s / 737s etc diverted into LPL due to the runway at MAN being closed due to snow.
Then proceeded to wait just under TWO hours for the bags to arrive, and to say I was flabbergasted was an understatement! Bearing in mind we were one of the first diversions in, and the first people into an empty baggage hall, I just don't get it. It's not like the regular EZY / Ryanair traffic was being given priority, as nothing significant arrived whilst we were waiting.
Anybody shed any light on why things were so ridiculously slow? Was it dinnertime? I'd understand it if we were the 10th diversion in, but we were 3rd in behind a KLM Fokker and a Swiss EMB 145, and the pax from both flights had passed through the terminal before we entered.
By the way, I'm a big supporter of my 'local', and fly from there whenever I can. But today left me completely perplexed, and that's putting it mildly!

Liverpool Airport is forecasting 4.5million passengers for 2005, this is up from 3.36million (increase of around 34%) for 2004.
For 2006 they are forecasting an even bigger rise to "at least 6.3 million" (increase of 40% over 2005 figures).

Ryanair are rumoured that they are to announce more expansion from Liverpool today.
Looking at the times for departures later in the winter scheduling period they have altered times to Girona, Limoges, Nimes, Venice Treviso and Milan Bergamo. Could this be a precursor to the announcement?
The Milan Bergamo flights are to be flown by Bergamo based aircraft.

New FR routes
LPL - Seville SVQ 4 x wkly from 22/2
LPL - Porto OPO 3x wkly from 23/2
LPL - Milan BGY is operated by a BGY based aircraft from 22/2, using the same block times as BGY - NCL. As far as I can see, none of the other BGY flight times have changed.
I can think of two possible explanations: (1): BGY - NCL is to be dropped, or (2) NCL is to get at least one based aircraft from 22/2 ...

The Milan Bergamo route is to be flown by Bergamo based aircraft instead of a Liverpool based aircraft as said above, but operates 4*per week (currently daily).
The aircraft released by this (as well as the rejigged schedules I mentioned above) looks as if its the one to operate the routes to Porto and Seville.

Good prediction see that option (1) has been partially applied, NCL-BGO dropping to three a week, no base aircraft and flurry of new routes as predicted by some then!

Ryanair presence at Liverpool looks as if it will become the airports biggest operator in 2006. They expect to carry 2.4million passengers just overtaking easyJet.
If the informed sources are to be believed the 2.4million is set to increase further with the basing of aircraft number 6 from February.

dwlpl,
Any idea what new routes could be in the pipeline with a/c No 6, I see a Manchester rumour mentions some limited expansion from FR up there, but we had the same type of rumour this time last year regarding EZY, and what happened NOTHING.

MOL appears to dislike MAN with a passion but if the airport drops its fees and takes a big loss maybe they could offer a few services out of there.

I think I,am right in saying EZY are to take delivery of thirty odd new a/c next year, now I've read that EZY are determined to be the biggest player at LPL, so does that mean LPL can expect some EZY expansion soon, as they are being left behind by FR at the moment.

The times that RYR want to operate into MAN is when the airport is running at 50% capacity ,so explain how the airport will make a big loss if RYR operated some more services ?
Thanks

I'm sure that if easyJet decided to move out of Liverpool, Ryanair and others would just take there place. There may be a few months were pax numbers are down, but it wouldn't last long. I suspect if they did do Manchester flights, they would be extras to the Liverpool flights. Have the loads on the LPL-Girona flights gone down since they sarted it out of Blackpool?

any EZY-staff here:
Were are the summer flights for CGN?
According to the CAA statistics the route is supposed to be doing well, but no bookings are possible yet.
