Easy go-around

Can't recall what the weather conditions were like 28/3 but I think there was one day last week that it was bla'ing a hooly.
Better safe than sorry, but interesting apparent remark by one of the pilots about the runway being 'too short'... just like the good old days.

VLM thread saying one service is direct, others via BHX.
Sounds like another Groningen or Esbjerg to me. Specialist oil route, limited demand, why hasn't anyone else tried it before now.
Thought we might get a RTM before ANR.
However will be nice to see VLM here, let's see how they go.

So effectively BE have dropped LCY and T3 are taking it over.
The lead in fares are also at typical T3 eye-watering levels, £100 o/w (minimum, often even higher!) This is about a 75% premium over other options - who in their right mind would pay that for Eastern’s unreliability which has been discussed ad nauseam???
Also, TUI released S19 schedules today and LPA is dropped in favour of a W with GLA which is surprising as, load wise at least, it has performed well. I wonder if there might be something on a scheduled front in the offing for S19?
The 4th weekly PMI is a 2300-0600 sector on a Saturday evening/Sunday morning in peak season only.

Wideroe E290
Doubt we'll ever see them on schedules here (I'm hoping for some reverse psychology!!) but Wideroe's first jet & launch customer for the E190-2 presumably arrived at ABZ on its delivery flight, routing LPA-ABZ-BGO. I've seen shots of it (not at ABZ) & it does look impressive.

Sumburgh is seeing a significant increase in pax numbers due to increases in oil industry traffic;

Leeds thread suggests LBA next for the chop.
More positively, Riga flights restarted today for S18.
