I think Thomas Cook are looking for someone to take a seat allocation from at Leeds next summer instead of basing their own aircraft, so this could be just the ticket

It currently works out at 19x aircraft needing overnight parking at LBA next summer.
But it depends on what Thomas Cook do and if British Airways decide to night stop. We could end up with 21 aircraft night-stopping which would be a tight squeeze onto 24 stands due to the current layout of the apron.
1x bmi regional = Embrear 135 Regional Jet
1x KLM City Hopper = Fokker 70
1x Thomson = TBC (Boeing 737-800 or Boeing 757-200)
2x Monarch = Airbus A320
3x Ryanair = Boeing 737-800WL
4x Jet2 = Boeing 757-200
7x Jet2 = Boeing 737-300
Also possible
1x British Airways = Airbus A319
1x Thomas Cook = Airbus A320

I wonder what we will see at LBA of the new BMIr ? will the BRU route stay ?
Also, isnt it about time that an operator restarted the longstanding NQY-LBA route, ex SZ ?

mcsowden regarding next summers Thomson routes, The Thomson Holidays website shows the following message "Flying with To Be Advised" for all available routes from Leeds next summer.
It looks like it has still been undecided who will operate the new flights. I know the original plan was to part based aircraft and use a Monarch, B757-200. But now that they have announced a fully based aircraft flight program they may decide to base some of there own metal instead using a B737-800 or B757-200.
Or could it be that like Thomson's flights from Dublin & Belfast that Leeds flights could end up been operated by Canadian Airline Sunwing, using B737-800's?

New aircraft stands??
Will be fantastic to see Mon and BA at Leeds along with the usual suspects. Surely we will see some new stands built somewhere on the field before next Summer? There is already very little flexibility when it comes to parking aircraft at LBA. Oh and please don't refer to the LBIA Masterplan as it bears no resemblence to what has recently been done and what will be done to the airport infrastructure (unlike other uk airports). Basically it was a complete waste of taxpayers money. No wonder the country is in debt[enough politics]. Anyway does anybody in the know- know about actual airside infrastructure plans?
