Aberdeen-2
[QUOTE=Paul Lupp;10569360 Also, still no air bridges to the planes, have to carry hand luggage up stairs to the plane, perish the thought of how people with restricted mobility do this. x[/QUOTE]
Apologies if I've missed trhe point, but how did you expect hand baggage to be dealt with - was special assistance requested?

"speshul" assistance at ABZ even if booked ahead very very poor , either too late or never turns up , how do I cope with this , simple , fly from Inverness , pleasant airport friendly and flights to Gatwick
which considering the size of the place is really really bad -
Security at ABZ can be bad (tho nothing like MAN....) but has been improving IMHO

To be fair to the Aberdeen security staff, considering the high proportion of arrogant self important /I wont be told/ dont you know who I am energy industry execs ( mainly )who don't understand the concept of follow the instructions that they deal with every day
I've always found that ABZ seem to have their detectors set at a more sensitive level than elsewhere - identical clothes, bags etc zing through at LHR or AMS but coming back set off the alarms at ABZ - I guess they have fewer passengers so the boredom threshold is higher.....................

"and what was their response when you enquired"
variable - generally a blank look, sometimes a threatening sort of response "You have no right to ask questions about security matters SIR"
Once " We 're alert & on the job sir, not like those scunners down south"

Interestingly the FAO schedule, according to the press release, is still in the works and I notice that routes to NQY and CWL are on sale despite the base closing so maybe not dead in the water just yet.
Aberdeen airport drop off fees increased by 50%,
along with lack of air bridge and poor "spechul" services, although the security bods are ok

FR FAO now on sale running Jul-Oct, 2x weekly as usual.
Bit unexpected given that Faro was actually removed from the airports destinations page and only yesterday I heard an advert on the radio promoting only 10 Sun routes. (7x TUI, ALC, AGP & BOJ)

Flybe
The news coming out in the press if they are to be believed doesn't sound good. Best wishes to all at Flybe - they are important to the schedules at ABZ. But we can only watch & wait. Hope something is agreed in the coming day/s.

How was the weather at ABZ today? From what I can see, most flights seemed to land without issue (although several BA flights cancelled like other airports). However, I was surprised to see the TUI flight from TFS seemed to struggle before giving up and going to EDI. Not great but not terrible for the inbound passengers on a coach from EDI. However, it meant the outbound flight to TFS has been rescheduled for tomorrow with the aircraft due to position EDI-ABZ in the morning. This is also likely to have a knock-on effect for TUI as there is currently no aircraft in TFS for tomorrow morning's departure.
