How was pax numbers on this route?
During April, May & June 2396 people flew on the NOC-LBA route.
897 flew on it in June with approx 34 pax per flight. The aircraft operating the route carries 78 pax altogether. So the load factor would be just under 50%.
It's not bad. I got those figures from the CAA & CSO websites. My calculations could be wrong. It's just a rough estimate that I got from looking at the figures on the CSO & CAA websites as mentioned above.
Hope this helps.

Leeds - Knock
I wouldn't be too hopeful as the 9 & 10 September sees major changes to the flybe schedules with a several routes ending some of which were year-round.
Ending
BHX-HAM
MAN-BRU
SOU-FRA
Starting
GLA & EDI to EMA at three daily.
This is without considering the seasonal French flights.

Was told yesterday that Jet2 have asked Multiflight about building a new larger maintance hangar over on the southside at LBA next to the existing double barrel hangar so to accommodate aircraft sized up to Boeing 757/767.
Anyone else heard about this or know if there is any truth to it?

Here's the break down of the CAA's August 2012 passenger stats for Leeds-Bradford
1/ LBA figures for the month of August 2012 are up by 5.3% over the same month last year 2011. 2/ LBA had a total of 386,275 passengers passing through the terminal in August 2012, 3/ The year rolling total passenger numbers for LBA now stands at 2,961,831
This is truly fantastic news for the airport and based on next summer's planned growth by Jet2, Monarch, Thomson & British Airways I think August 2013 pax figures should be in the 400,000 mark. Also it looks as though LBA is going to hit the magic rolling year figure of 3 million pax within the next 6 to 12 months one would think.

In the current market I would agree this is pretty impressive.
Of course it looks slightly less fantastic if you take into account that Bridgepoint anticipated 5 million pax within 5 years which would be about now!

When Bridgepoint bought Leeds Bradford Airport in 2007 the world economies were in a totally different position compared with the present economic climate.Lots of families can no longer afford the costs of flying.Look at the CAA Statistics and see the number of airports that are losing passengers through their terminals.I bet they wished that they were in the same position as Leeds Bradford.The LBA has continued to increase passenger numbers virtually every month.The 3 million mark will soon be reached, so as LBIA states it is fantastic news.

LBIA, I work out that capacity increases next year should add an extra 0.6 million passengers through the terminal? If so then the August 2013 figures should far exceed 400,000.
Is there a possibility of more from easyjet in the next few years?

Easy seem happier with MAN and LPL.
But if things go well, then you may well see lots more from Monarch.
Good solid reliable work and they pay their service companies more than Easy.

The LS252 from Faro operated by Boeing 737-300, G-CELB this afternoon declared a PAN emergency with "asymmetrical flaps" problem whilst it was on finals to Leeds-Bradford
It diverted to Manchester as it needed the extra runway length to stop due to been heavy, It landed fairly fast with the nose high.

LBA-EXT
Can't book a flight from LBA to EXT next month so I emailed FLYBE who said the route is being dropped at the end of this month!

PIA
All quiet here. Any news on the PIA B777s? Rumours and denials on other threads about PIA ending Manchester. If true would they continue Leeds? Will the new BA service to Heathrow have any effect?
