[SWBKCB]

Doesn't seem to be a lot of airport experience.

Other than making life difficult for them by putting up effin great turbines next door.

For connoisseurs of old props, there will be no fewer than four Ukrainian registered AN12s at Liverpool by 14.30. Two are due out by 16.00 so photo opportunities are limited. One is AOG, freight carried thought to be motor parts. Thoughts are with their colleagues who lost their lives in Ukraine earlier today.

Passenger on wrong EasyJet flight causes Liverpool Airport security scare

Says BBC, although I doubt it was much of a scare.

Passengers were forced to disembark from a plane and wait alongside it while it was searched after a traveller boarded the wrong jet by mistake.The man had been due to travel from Liverpool to Belfast with EasyJet at 07:40 GMT but instead boarded the 07:40 flight to Jersey.The security error, which one passenger called "pathetic", meant the Jersey flight was delayed by about 25 minutes.

EasyJet said it was investigating how the mistake had happened.

At a guess, any of a dozen ways!!

But it is yet another reminder to all carriers that Pax just can't wait to use their phones to tell the world what happened and, conseqeuntly, the need to be ready to respond in a mature fashion.

I wouldn’t say neither airline or airport responded in non mature manner.

Off at John Lennon

Oops. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...yside-50740693

Anyone looked up the METAR?

[eye2eye5]

Two new routes announced today for Summer 2020:

easyJet to Antalya
Lauda to Zadar

[BACsuperVC10]

Good to hear. : - )

[BACsuperVC10]

4 Wizz Air routes from LPL are to be A321 for 2020, Budapest being an A321neo.

[BACsuperVC10]

Oslo is a very frequent charter into Liverpool, seems to me this could easily move to a scheduled service, possibly a good choice for Wideroe to add.

[BACsuperVC10]

First visit of EMB Praetor 500 from Stansted today at 11.15hrs

IOM

Looks like Loganair will take over Flybe's LPL-IOM route.

[BACsuperVC10]

Wideroe is still operating Bergen - Liverpool - Bergen at present. I thought they may have postponed services with current situation, plus they carry quite a bit of football traffic.

easyJet aircraft to LPL for storage
All 7x BFS based easyJet aircraft are planned to position to LPL today for storage (1x A319/6x A320)

Wideroe

Wideroe have been operating their Bergen to Liverpool schedule over the Easter period on Good Friday Easter Sunday and today. There now appears to be a gap until August........but who knows. Wizzair's flights stopped recently, Loganair to IOM persists twice a day using E145s. All passenger operations while the Corvid19 restrictions continue have moved from the main terminal building to the XLR terminal . You access this by turning right at the airport roundabout rather than more usual left.

[LTNman]

So why would Wideroe be operating flights over Easter, essential travel for those that can’t travel to holiday homes in the UK?
