Wow-thanks a lot!
I did notice on their website last week that flights were available from today and that they have vanished suddenly
Hopefully not long now before the route starts!

It did arrive-747-400 at 07.32-a nice choice to come in here and not LHR!

Interesting that the Malaysia 747 brought the Arsenal FC team home this morning, then went out this afternoon carrying rivals Chelsea on their own Asian tour.

With the multi-million pound stadium naming rights and sponsorship deal, its a surprise that Emirates don't fly the Arsenal team to/from Asia, as I believe Etihad have done with Man City.

Arsenal flew out of Stansted on a Malaysian 777 last Sunday. Quick trip for them.

Currently sitting in Cafe Rouge, and theres an interesting Sun Country 738 sitting right infront of me; from a bit of Wikipediaing I see that they are based out in Minneapolis, are they regularly operating such a small aircraft transatlantically or is this just a bit of a one off?

If you look at wikipedia, you'll also be able to read about their regular route to London with a stop off in Gander

easyJet flights to Aberdeen, Budapest, Glasgow, Inverness, Krakow, Lisbon, Porto, Prague and Zagreb move to North Terminal for Winter 11/12, with nothing going in the other direction.

Does this mean that Pier 1 is finally being torn down and rebuilt? All domestic easyJet flights going from the North this winter.

In other (massive) news, BA are finally re-numbering their remaining BA7*** and BA8*** short haul flights to the standard BA2***.

I dont understand AB. Their STN network has been reducing for years and more Dash8s being used over jets. The the move to LGW, NUE and HAJ, HAJ didnt last long at all so now just 2x daily NUE. What is/was the point? Are AB planning growth at LGW or??

Air Berlin

AB has recently drawn up a plan that includes reducing there fleet and cutting back or dropping routes altogether.

This includes all of AB UK routes inc LGW, so I do not see any further growth at LGW for AB, not in the near future anyway unless they open a LGW-BER flight once the new airport at Berlin opens next year.

Not really that interesting but I current work about 10km from the threshold of 26L in Lingfield so see plenty of aircraft on final approach into LGW. Will shortly be moving down the road to work in Shipley Bridge which is about 2km from the threshold and having had a quick visit to the office, boy do they come over low there. Should keep me entertained on boring days watching them come in!

Mrs.Ardmore and I are transiting Gatwick later this month. I have seen and read that there is a new security area on the first floor. Mrs A needs assistance to get to the flight. Recently there was a separate "Assistance and Families" channel on the checkin level - has this been closed and will we need to get to the first floor with her chair?

Thanks in advance for your knowledge
