I seem to recall reading that building work ceased after the current Airport CEO Hywel Rees was appointed 6 months or so ago because he wasn't happy with the plans.Stand to be corrected however.

Some more information on the proposed new terminal has appeared on the LBA website. It's well worth a look.

We lose Tenerife, Riga & Bratislava routes at the end of this month at the same time we lose the 2nd based aircraft with the start of the summer 2020 season.
All 3+ routes look to be reinstated from end of October when the 2nd based aircraft returns for the winter 2020 /21 season.

Here's hoping somebody to replaces the ex Flybe operated Belfast City - Leeds route quickly as we now have no direct link between this part of Yorkshire and Northern Ireland.
Flybe were flying up to 5x daily Dash 8 and carried over 120,000 passengers last year alone.

In a dream scenario BA would tag LBA-BHD on to a LHR-LBA service, although that will never happen as BA have zero interest in non London routes.
If there is a downturn in international travel then it might be attractive to Jet2 to use spare capacity to restore their former BFS-LBA routes as there is now no competiton from Flybe.
BHD were very reliant on Flybe so you could imagine they will be offering very good deals for airlines to start routes from there so you might even see Jet2 tempted fly from there. Ryanair don't have that many flights from BFS anymore, so although the pulled out of BHD previously they could be tempted back, and I'm sure a LBA route with no competition would be attractive.

I can't see 5 flights daily being replaced, but you would think somebody would be interested in one or perhaps two flights a day.

Trying to see what Ryanair have on sale for Summer 21 from LBA. There seems to be nothing? Not even Dublin where flights appear but are shown as sold out. Anybody know anything?

Saddened to hear the news today that a cornerstone of the LBA establishment for many years - Pat Wainman - passed away last night. Auntie Pat would be known to everyone who had worked or lived around LBA through her times running the Dan-Air, Servisair and then Swissport handling operations through its various guises over the years - I reckon well over 40 years in the airport in all. One of aviation's finest who made time for everyone but fools, and encouraged and helped many on their way in life. A very sad loss to her family but also to the airport community, and a passing that will be difficult to properly recognise given current day constraints.
It's probably outside the normal thread rules, but as an integral part of the airport for so many years, I think it's right to mark this end of a fine era.
