As LBIA posted above, LBA has submitted plans to Leeds City Council for its new terminal - if any aviation/LBA supporters have a spare 5 minutes - a comment of support would be great during these challenging times.

20/02559/FU is the search code..
appreciated if anybody does write a support comment!

Don't be so pessimistic.... air travel within and to/from Asia recovered much quicker than anticipated after SARS. Whilst Covid 19 has had much wider impact across Europe and the Americas, airlines are already beginning to re-schedule flights from July onwards. The biggest impact on LBA could very well be Ryanair's decision to close down operations there.

Not really surprised by this but it looks like British Airways are finally pulling the plug on the slot sitting Heathrow - Leeds route, All future flights have been cancelled and the route is no longer bookable.

I need to go to Yorkshire asap for a day trip - it is for business
(ATM we cannot stay overnight under the current lock-down rules) and it is a bloody long drive from sleepy Dorset to go for the day, not even gonna go there.
Great, let's fly I thought -
I live fairly local to SOU and wish to use, and support my local airport -
Eastern re-start LBA 29 June.
Very p'''d off to see that although they are now flying again to/from LBA their flight times are totally useless for a day trip - 17.05 departure from SOU.
This will never work for us, so why did they even bother?
OK let's go to LHR -
BA have just announced last week they are dropping their LBA from LHR - An almost continuous link since before my days working at BMA at LHR when we took over the LBA service from BA in 1980. BMA did 4 daily Viscount flights.
Ugh.......

and SOU is one place that needs to find a new normal as well you know -
But sadly ALL of Eastern's new flights from SOU are simply not going to work with current times - MAN NCL and LBA - none of them are possible for a business day trip - going either to, or from -
Not gonna work sorry. Not sure what Eastern are thinking....
PS
I cannot stay overnight
I do not want to put a car on the road for a 500 mile round trip
I cannot do the trip in a day by train
We do have to all try and get back to working again....You live in the North East you must realise the problems old chap
