BE
Flybe are swinging the axe across their network as they carry out a structured plan to reduce fleet size and unprofitable flying. Many routes from all bases see frequency cuts this summer and next winter will be the same.

Yeap 45 of the current 47 summer routes currently offered are on sale for Summer 2019 but for some reason both Murcia and Berlin routes are un-bookable after April 29th. I Hope the both haven't been given axe?

Corvera doesn't suit Jet2 like Murcia did. It's in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a no fly zone. and to get round it, requires a diversion around Almeria (LEI). They tried reducing flights in favour of ALC for 2015/2016. Maybe this is the kick they need to ditch the region and push everything up the road to ALC.

Jet2's 49th route from LBA for summer 2019 is now on sale. Looks like a it's a direct replacement for Murcia San Javier.

Leeds has always been used as a training base, but normally it's just flyovers, or touch-and-go's. I wouldn't expect any different. Nice to see the A400's again though
Just imagining the headlines now if a jet goes supersonic, sending t' good ol' Yorkshire folk into a tizz

Interesting article about a potential for LBA-FRA
Leeds Bradford-Frankfurt is "Skyscanner Unserved Route of the Week" with 22,000 searches
With the 'recent' drop in frequency to LHR and AMS/CDG being quite static, might be a decent shot to bring in new hub capacity

Departure lounge re-worked
Our local rag has a column about the re-working of the departure lounges and how the MD is up to his old tricks trying to get pax from the DTVA area. Comments are closed on the rag so the locals cannot rant about the lack of flights from DTVA and who wants to drive to LBA in the morning.

Nothing at all wrong with DL coaxing Teesside-area passengers into using Leeds Bradford. Realistically, these passengers are highly unlikely to be able to get the flight they want from Teesside and DL is probably less likely to be encouraging them to use Newcastle. So, LBA it is. Obvious really.
