So that begs the question as to why would British Airways want codeshare on any of flybe's routes out of Leeds? As they only serve Aberdeen, Belfast City, Exeter & Southampton.
Now I could of understood if flybe still had a Leeds to Gatwick route, so to offer connections but the service was dropped back in March due to the increase in landing fees.

I agree, and I can see the sense of including Newquay, but why Leeds and Stansted? Southampton, Exeter and Belfast City are not in the dropdown list, and I don't think Flybe operate out of Stansted anyway. Perhaps BA are starting a codeshare agreement with another airline. Can't think who though.

I see Loganair are to run a few flights between Leeds and Glasgow this week.
Are Loganair going up against bmi regional on the scheduled route or are these flights just charters been operated?

Qatar A320 A7-MBK
Does anyone know why this is at Leeds Bradford, it is rumoured to have brought the Qatar Royals in for a few days.
Does anyone know why or where they are visiting and also when it is due out?

Looks like there are no Carribean cruise flights from TOM this winter.
Very sad as they have been an fixture at LBA for as many years as I can remember. Sign of the (financial) times as far as long haul is concerned I guess......

Aircraft parking
Can someone please tell me why the aircraft at LBA are parking facing out towards the runway!!!
I have never seen them do this before, does it have anything to do with the strong winds that are forcast

You have to give credit to the profesionalism of all the flight crew, even those who diverted had a go in what was awful conditions. Yes it's not the best place for an airport but the new Yorkshire airport hasnt been the success peel hoped. At least LBA is geographically well positioned to serve the major cities in Yorkshire. I see BHX also lost some flights too due to the strong crosswinds.

Nothing funnier however than Schofield and Willoughby on This Morning trying to talk about the planes landing in at Leeds and describing the pictures of Flybe and Ryanair - very funny indeed. "Look at that one coming in sideways, it's not even facing the runway!" - well worth a watch on repeat/on demand if you missed it!
