Flights to Dusseldorf are now bookable. It is a once-weekly seasonal flight operating on saturdays. It will be on the ground at INV from 1145 to 1220. Flight to be operated by Cityline and starting on June 20, 2009. Equipment listed as a Canadair RJ700, so 70 seats. As far as I can see it, lower booking classes have not been put on sale yet, so the flights are pretty expensive at the moment. Seem to remember that it was the same with the seasonal flights last year, i.e. the lowest bookings classes only became available after a couple of weeks after the relase of the flights.

I priced 4 seats in august first week as it flies on a saturday
£3400 return for four :}:{ so thats going to last then :yuk::(:ooh: |
Or you could drive to Edinburgh and get the same 4 adult returns with Jet2 for under £200! And they go 4 times a week.

Inverness Incompetence
I do understand that the weather in Inverness has been poor. However the sheer incompetence of the airport in dealing with the conditions amazes me. Closed for the past two days, still not open yet today. No one allowed to depart even if the surface is within their minima as the airport insists on clearing all contaminants.
Runway clearing before new year not commencing until 0600 when the first flight departs at 0630. Even when the snow has been forecast well in advance. I hope all operators take Mr Lyon to task over this. Perhaps his resignation would appease them. Rant Over!! |
The joys of HIAL.

That is not the only airport doing that .

2 days closure? Jings Crivvens Help ma boab!

Thomson Airways are operating a weekly (SUN) flight from INV to PMI from 13th June to 15th August.

You may want to check your times on the 31st.
And the snow clearing conversatio seems to have started with reference to other dates. And to be quite honest I agree with most of the original post. The airport has been unbelievably poor at arranging for FORECAST snow to be dealt with. GLA had it just as bad and managed to keep disruption to a minimum. This must have cost all operators into the HIA jewel in the crown a fortune. I heard an EZY airbus in the hold absolutely incredulous that the airport wouldn't let him land even though the cleared width was 10m more than he required and the surface contaminant was well within limits. |

Inverness in decline?
Just looking at the departures and arrivals board on the internet and Inverness seems to be almost dead with arrivals from the south down to less than one per hour on average. What is happening up there? Is it really that quiet? I had heard that there were moves to upgrade the advisory but guess this level of trafic must cast doubt on that. Is it even quieter at weekends and in winter? Anyone got the CAA figures for Inverness trafic over the last few years?

Inverness
Passenger figures for March 2010 - 42,121 (-7.4%)
Rolling year to end of March 2010 - 573,191 (-11.9%) Much the same as most airports. |
thanks for the info TSR2 ( great plane?) I think there might be an error in the post, could you check it? also do you have the last few years figures? also how many movements?

bad bear,
you could always go to the CAA website and study the figures yourself ..... UK Airport Statistics | Data | Economic Regulation Every conceivable breakdown of statistics there - just scroll down to the month or year you want DD |
Guys everything is down everywhere!
