Staff seemed to think that guys getting bladdered prior to delayed flight to IBZ (where else) was really great.
Then again, its not their problem once theyve got them on the plane.
​"Docu" LMAO was dumbed down to the lowest level possible.

Yes, poor TV. All airlines visible except Jet2 who were blurred out. Wonder why?

I’m sure I saw EasyJet there - didn’t realise they flew from Leeds. Can anyone tell me where they fly to?

Almost certainly they wanted nothing to do with programme and insisted the airline was excluded.Good move

Or possibly the TV company wanted money to include them in shots and Jet2 refused so they got "blurred".
Quite the most damning confirmation, judging by Swissports and etc etc attitude to drunken behaviour, that the more Pax drink, the funnier they are - or think they are.
And the rest of the pax on the heavily delayed flight will have had to travel with them. Pity the poor CC!

Easyjet have not operated into Leeds for around 2 years now, since they dropped the 4x weekly winter Geneva ski route.

The Orange livered aircraft you saw on the ITV show last night may have been the Canadian Sunwing aircraft, which was based last year.

Also understand that Jet2 had refused to appear on the show, hence its aircraft been pixilated out.

2 inbound Jet2 flights had to be escorted into LBA last night by Police Helicopter after reporting having lasers shone at their aircraft whilst on final approach to runway 32.

Bloody hope they catch the idiots.

Good to see Jet2 stepping in to replace some of the lost Ryanair capacity to the Canary Islands from LBA this winter.

I flew from Leeds recently and can honestly say the best advice for the management would be to start again with the terminal. Security check area is like a grey cave with staff wearing scruffy grey T shirts, then you go on a long walk to find you have to go even further. On returning whilst waiting for the ground crew we watched the baggage manglers throwing cases into a cart. Only good side was the friendly welcome from a police lady. Alicante had the best idea just build a new terminal next door.

Before making your comments N707ZS you could have checked to see that much work is being done behind the scenes to improve the terminal, including Security Check area and a new Arrivals Hall etc. Personally I have found the staff typically Yorkshire ie friendly!

rpmac, no complaints about the staff other than the baggage.

KLM adding capacity as of March.

According to a recent press release, their mid- morning AMS-LBA-AMS rotation will be served using a KLM main-line Boeing 737-700 instead of the KLM Cityhopper Embrear E190 from 28th March 2020.

​​​An increase in capacity of around 6%.
