Ibiza, Limoges, Montpellier, Murcia, Nantes, Palma and Pisa dropped to make way.
Also to facilitate "growth" Ryanair have said that LBA have reduced charges - I'm sure Jet2 will be happy to hear this...

Dropping med sun routes in favour of city and canary destinations is what you'd expect over the winter months, no great surprise this. Be interesting to see how the Weeze and Barcelona routes compare with Jet2 as has been said.

In spite of where I am at the moment having flown from LBA I love the place and I absolutely love Jet2. But LBA got Ryanair because of the cheap charges and now they've reduced them even more .. and I can't believe MOL didn't have something to do with that. The trouble with Ryanair is they always seem to be cultivating links with other 'cheaper' airports, whether in the UK or more worryingly now, Europe. How far can any airport which has thrown its lot in so far and so cheaply with an airline go before enough is enough?

Can anyone explain how ( as the local news reported ) so many jobs have been created by Ryanair operating from LBA, I'm sure the news reader said 1000 jobs !! Any ideas ?

Does anybody know what the hold-up is in getting the new Delivery position up and running ? We're now into the busiest time of the year when ATC needs this frequency the most and nowt appears to have happened yet, apart from 121.8 being allocated.

I was thinking the same thing. I thought they brought it in time for July and August, but all that we have now is a NOTAM:
Q) EGTT/QCAAS/IV/B/A/000/999/5352N00140W005
B) FROM: 10/07/01 10:18C) TO: 10/08/31 23:59
E) DELIVERY FREQ 121.800 MHZ NOT AVBL
Maybe a staffing or technical issue? I doubt it is that they are intentionally keep it out of action, during the busiest part of the year.
Something else I was wondering - does anybody know if stands are allocated to airlines at Leeds? Obviously at larger aerodromes A/O's are allocated terminals, just wondering if anything similar was in operation at Leeds.
Thanks,
Jonjo

Stands are allocated to make the poor infrastructure as efficient as possible, the ideal scenorio for the morning rush is:
Stand 6: KLM F70
Stand 7: Thomas Cook A320
Stand 8: Ryanair (not attached to airbridge)
Stand 9: Jet2 757
Stand 10: Jet2 757
Stand 11: Ryanair
Stand 12: Jet2 737
Stand 13: Flybe dash 8
Stand 14: Jet2 757
Stands 15-24 Jet2 737's
Bmi embraers and other inbound domestics use stands which come free once the above have departed.

Seem's a complete waste of the airbridge. Why not move Jet2 757 over to the airbridge, they other 757 jet2 along to stand 9 , then have both ryanair together on 10&11?

Both Ryanairs leave about the same sort of time on several days - 06:20 / 06:30 (albeit later for some routes - I recall 07:05 on some days.)
There is only 1 path to stands 10 & 11 so you couldn't board them at the same time.
Jet2 are not big fans of air bridges either so they happily use 9 & 10.
The 757 on stand 10 is usually the 08:00 AGP so the single pathway isn't an issue if there is a 06:30 or even a 07:05 departure on 11.
Now - if you'll excuse me, I'm off out to see if I can get a life! I'm pretty sure I had one somewhere......
