Mr Doran also confirmed that the international Airport is engaged in "direct talks" with two long-haul carriers - one in Canada and the other serving an eastern Europe hub which in turn links into Asia, Australia and china.

Would love to see this come true but did I hear something similar this time last year when the big 50 was up and coming
"Germany, Scandinavia and Italy - which we've never previously served - are all possibilities" ........I think EZY did serve Berlin, LS to PSA and EZY and EI to FCO???
Fingers crossed

An-12s
A pair of Ukrainian Air Alliance An-12s arrived separately from different directions c. 21:00 last night and departed in tandem c. 03:00 this morning.
Any clues?
Thinks: Perhaps the Aldergrove PR staff can add them to the tally of services

1990s airlines at BFS
A very interesting set of BIAL photos on their facebook page reveals one of a 1990s departures board with various airline codes. I think I have worked out the majority of them (please feel free to check) :
BA, BD, UK (air UK), BY, KL (KLM), SHL (BA shuttle to LHR) but am getting nowhere with these two:
GX to Newcastle
VB to Birmingham
Can anyone help?

GX is Gill Air, later 9C, VB was Birmingham Executive, Birmingham European, later Maersk UK operating for BA. btw Shuttle was SHT for ATC on a BA4*** flight number. SHL was Shell Aircraft who had some HS125s at Heathrow. Do you have a link?

Pegasus Airlines for TCX
Instead of Onur Air A320s and A321s doing Dalaman for Thomas Cook it will be done by Pegasus Airlines Flight numbers PC6451/PC6452 with their B737-800s on Fridays. 
But only for a few weeks atm not the full summer

Think it was the same last year all easyjet on Wednesdays plus the cargo aircrafts.
There is one TCX flight that arrives around 21:20 from Larnaca but is the last flight so will be all easyjet next week by the looks of it

Johnnyc...No. There has been a change in permission over which ATC functions which may be combined. You may hear a tower and approach radar controller being the "same" person. However there are very strict rules in force as to when and how this may be utilised.

Second dog. EVERY ATC procedure will have been simulated or trialled to within an inch of its life before it is allowed to be used.This one is no different.(trust me on this 
)
In this case there will also be a radar controller watching every move and ready to take executive control should the need arise.

Hi Eastern, how does this work in practice? I take it the controller must have visual contact on taxying aircraft so I presume the small radar screen in the tower is used?
If there has to be a guy downstairs watching then what is the point if it doesn't free up resources? Can this be counted as 'rest time' if the guy in radar room isn't actually issuing instructions?
