Oooh, you tease Johnny!:)

Didn't Jet2 used to fly there? I'm sure they were around when I visited around 2010.

I think i remember an EDI and LBA double drop a few years back

I do hope it wasn't too painful!

I operated there for Jet2 as far back as July 2009 from EDI.

Jet2 use to operate both Leeds & Edinburgh to La Rochelle once weekly Saturdays using Boeing 737-300 on a w-leg patten.

LBA-LRH-EDI-LRH-LBA

Also a Boing 737-300QC use to do a weekly Saturday afternoon Olbia double drop service operating

EDI-LBA-OLB-LBA-EDI

I certainly remember Jet2 operating from Leeds to La Rochelle in the past and the shared Olbia/Edinburgh. I'm certain the other French flight Leeds shared with Edinburgh was Avignon.

B757.
 

anybody know what B757 scheduled to operate LS759 tmrw MAN-MAH?

Yeah Leeds use to have Jet2 flights to both Avignon and Toulouse as well.

Is G-GDFM B737-300 still in the fleet? Hasn't appeared on FR24 in a while. Is it on a 'C' check?

It was still on the companies AOC a couple of weeks ago.

Could be on the way back to the UK very soon.:ok:

Thanks! :)

Not that long as it arrived back at Leeds at lunchtime.:ok:

Currently en route to Manchester.:ok:

Yes AI has left ALC and is over France at FL100 and 300knts en route MAN so might be home for tea

The route trace on FR24 makes interesting viewing.

3h25m en-route so far and just passed Oxford northbound!

Home for tea and medals then. Phillip will be pleased.

Their A332 currently at Brize Norton is looking fresh! :ok::ok:

Huge Jet2 increases from some airports for high Summer '18 whereas LBA, as I write has gained about 3 flights per week [net] to the Med. in August. Losing Dusseldorf after many many years of year round service and further reduction to Amsterdam in high Summer. Can't help feeling LS's HQ on the hill is now saturated for routes that are yield viable from one of Europe's most pilfered catchment areas.

Actually Leeds will grow next year from 11+ operational aircraft to 13+ operational.
Lots of extra capacity been added on the med routes. Plus LBA sees quite a few flights been operated by either the ALC or PMI based aircraft.
As expected, With further B737-300's been gradually withdrawn the city routes eg AMS, CDG, & DUS will most likely dissappear as the B738 is just to big.

summer 2017
4x B733
4x B752
3x B738

Summer 2018
3x B752
4x B733
6x B738

AMS would be a shame, as it's their first ever route.
