Then of course there is the great variable in a journey to Ringway...the M62. Some days, 45 mins, others 2 hours?
Anyone got similar for this end to LBA please?

attention MAN777
MAN777 - where you get MAN being less travelling time than LBA from J26 of the M62 I shall never know, not unless you're travelling to MAN by car and LBA on horseback.
I regularly fly out of LBA (Jet2) and I currently live in a place called East Bierley, two minutes from J26 of the M62. It takes me, on average, no more than 20-30 mins from there, traffic dependent, and that involves going through the middle of Bradford.
MAN, on the otherhand is, again, on average, about an hour away. I know, I have done both reasonably regularly.
(Each beats commuting from Sheps Bush to Gatwick as I did in XL's glory days.)
Tallyho.

Anyone know how FlyBE's route to Gatwick is selling as a replacement for bmi's route to Heathrow ?
I saw a press release, in which BE made very clear that the LBA-LGW route was on sale. I know that new routes need plenty of marketing to get them going, but selling roundtrips for under £25 in August does not give me a reassuring feeling about this

Included amongst the choice routes on offer are those between London Gatwick, Leeds Bradford, and Dusseldorf

Hi all
Not Good News,
It has been confirmed by Leeds City Council that the latest hearing of the application by LBIA for its terminal development that was differed in April that was to take place at the Plans Panel (West) meeting on June 11th 2009 at Leeds Civic Hall has now been cancelled.
And to make matters worse, there is no suggestion that the matter will be heard at the next meeting on 9th July either.
So what happens next?
Well the Leeds Bradford Airport Support Group that attends the Airport Consultative Committee, and has been going since it was formed back 1987 have launched a brand new new website LBASG to show again their support, It works in the same way that B.I.S.C.O.N helps support Bristol Airport.
We only ask for you to take a couple of minutes out of you time and please come take a look at what we are trying to do. Thankyou.

Yes its nice to see some encouragement for our wonderful airport, i have had a look at the web site : lbasg, have you also seen this one that is floating about :LBIAExpansion
I think they are on the same wave lenght, but without any real involvement with the airport or planning commitee, its worth taking a look though,
There is no one more supportive in the expansion of leeds, than me, i wish them well..
Has anyone heard the rumour about PIA changing their aircraft from A310's to 777's for the summer at Leeds.
If this is true, then what a massive achievement for Leeds/Bradford, and for PIA......
Might need to do some work on the ground, or they wont be able to park it up!!!!

Pia 777
Am I correct in assuming a 777 has never visited LBIA?.
Will the 777 be able to fly to Islamabad from LBIA non stop?.
Was up at the airport tonight to see the A310 landing on 14.Then went to terminal and saw crew going to bus.Had loads of luggage with them,do they stay local and fly back to Islamabad or go to other UK airport and fly from there?.

Official sources at LBA say that PIA have confirmed that they will be replacing the A310 on the LBA to ISB route with a Boeing 777 - probably a 200ER series, which has similar take off performance and even longer range than the A310. No date given, but it will happen. Some preparation work on the ground at LBA may be required first, particularly around the parking apron,

G-LSAI took the 271 out to Alicante, G-CELA has gone to Alicante as 27A, due back later at 72B. The 15P from Stansted is G-CELP coming to do the Belfast 325/326 and Dusseldorf 347Q/348Q that presumably G-CELA was due to do. Hope that helps.

Hi All
Emergency landing at LBA this lunchtime.
Just shortly after 12:55 BST (Sunday 07/06/09) An Air Southwest operating flight WOW524L from Newquay to Newcastle diverted into Leeds Bradford Airport
The flight was been operated by a Dash 8-Q200 aircraft (Registration G-WOWB), and carrying 43 souls on board.
The crew reported that they had, had a low oil pressure warning while in the cruise. Aircraft was cleared to descended to 5,000ft and direct into LBA hold. Once reaching the hold the crew officially declared a PAN reporting that they had a low oil warning light on the number 2 engine and would be landing as normal on a visual approach with only one engine
After landing the aircraft taxied to stand as normal and the incident was classed as closed at 13:20

Thomas Cook's new winter charters to Egypts Sharm el Sheikh from LBA have been on sale for a while now. See my post back in November 2008. http://www.pprune.org/airlines-airpo...ml#post4555895
Flights were mentioned to be operated every Tuesday with a Newcastle or Manchester based Boeing 757-200 as Thomas Cook dont have any A310's.
