They use the A330 on the LAS got seatback screens, If a ex MYT external camera and 33" seat pitch down the back think 35/6" in premium.

Do you have any evidence to support that?

KLM are different to LH - LH have a much higher significance and MAN, not only through their mainline and regional services, but also Germanwings, BMI, BMI Regional and BMIBaby.

LH will know what they're doing but I can't see LPL any time soon...

New EZY A/c

New 4th based unit will arrive 10Feb10 and be an A319. The only new route is HEL (4 per week) however ATH and CPH will start earlier than originally planned and there will be increased rotations to TFS, PFO and ALC. GVA remains on a LPL based A319 w-pattern.

ACCMan - I'm confused. MAN - ATH started in August and MAN - CPH starts on 6th November. Not sure how an aircraft arriving next February can facilitate any earlier a start...

Thanks ACCMan.

Is the LPL-GVA-MAN-GVA-LPL operated by one crew or not?

Thanks.

Lufthansa Traffic Boost at BHX !

...and here's me thinking this was the Manchester Thread ?

Let us Mancunians rejoice at this "good cheer" from Bhx5dme.

Based on this news I shall certainly be popping the Christmas bunting up early this year !

Where do you get this info from?

I have heard nothing about HEL...its not been announced anywhere?

The only thing that we do know is that as per the announcement made back in December 2007, that Liverpool will have 10 aircraft and Manchester 5 by the end of 2010. (Liverpool currently have 8 A319s and 1 A320, and Manchester has 3 A320s)

To be honest and to give LPL credit - they can pretty much hold FR to North West ransom.

FR have publicly dis-owned MAN and BLK in the North West - so which other airport will the airline fly to in the UK's second biggest aviation region. LPL is the only choice...

U2 have started to expand at both LPL and MAN and have set out their plans for the two bases but LPL would have to be more careful with this airline. U2 profit from the airport but they would easily be able to transfer 9/10 of their services to MAN with little trouble, probably being able to increase revenue. HOWEVER, it would be very unlikely they would do that as FR would clean up at LPL. U2 don't make rash decision unlike their Irish counter part.

So juggling the two carriers puts LPL in a very strong position and I am sure they are making some sort of profit.

Let me quote anonymously a reply to this from someone well in the know:

ROFL, more regurgitated wet dream speculation started on North West Air News. If you parked an ice cream van outside LJA, some of them would start a rumour that Alitalia were about to start double daily to Rome!
