Leave them to it and good luck to them If it works, it works and creates jobs its not like it will impact on LBA or DSA in the medium term.

Wasn't there another crackpot flights of fantasy idea from somewhere in Yorkshire only last year also?

I'm sorry, this is a bit of a jump isn't it, Selby district council haven't even received an application for planning yet 😂😂😂, let alone begun offering commercial International flights. Which is probably one of the prerequisites for an "International" airport?

Brilliant news that Bridgepoint plan to do a little bit more tinkering within the terminal this Winter by filling in the gaps in the floors. It gets the most out of what we have with the terminal as we shoe horn up to 5 / 5.5 million pax. It is the perfect short term fix for what is required on the current less than ideal site and is exactly what is needed. I totally support Bridgepoint and their plans for the region.

I love it how the weather at LBA on the arrivals page of their website shows rain when it is 200M in FOG (low cloud)!
I have never seen the fog symbol used when it's foggy at LBA - always the rain symbol. Funny that.
LVPs again today at 700ft amsl but not at 30ft. Extended routing, delay, extra fuel burn, restriction of movement on the airfield.

Mega problems by look of it thanks to FR24 don`t wind us up Leeds Approach, biggest delay on arrivals was 4 mins and probably no weather delays for departures

The LVPs are now cancelled and we indeed do now have heavy rain. Earlier the BA could have landed at 08.40 but due to visibility issues was vectored until it could make the approach while at the same time a MON 320 was held [rather than taxying] due to the LVPs. Not massive issues no but inefficiencies. In a dog eat dog civil aviation world where airlines and airports compete to the death inefficiencies are bad bad bad and cost money and that is why I highlight them.

Not sure this adds anything harry. An airport with increased efficiency is what we all want.
