On another topic, an old friend routing back from US tonight ex Thomsonfly 738 which is now used by El Al, surprised there is room for it overnight unless it's a crew change & slash & dash!

Thanks LTNman. You pasted in some high quality BS there!

Yes I was thinking the same. The author has used some mighty words in the description for what is basically a bridge across a dual carriageway. Also explains nicely why the bridge did not contain a couple of arches as that would have symbolised a bumpy landing.

The bridge was moved without being painted first. Either it will need scaffolding again or someone with a good head for heights will be needed with a mega cherrypicker. I assume the last option would need overnight road closures.

Brilliant!

Gulfstream - whilst alot if engineering work is going to the new facility at Farnborough, parts is staying at Luton. Backup stock which was held in a warehouse near Heathrow has gone to Amsterdam. Will the parts work keep their hanger lease from Signature going?

My contact has told me that Gulfstream are having real problems in getting staff to work in Farnborough which is causing them issues.

Doesn't surprise me. Just look at property prices around that area.

Gulfstream are continuing to warehouse a huge stock of parts at Luton, post any move to Hampshire.

Post pickle fork mods in the USA.

From my sources Gulfstream won't be doing 650s here but everything else should stay as per usual.

First Wizzair flight to Castellon today.

As predicted:

Turkmenistan Airlines in the week of 08DEC19’s OAG schedules update removed Ashgabat – London Luton route, originally filed as 1 weekly flight from 03DEC19. The airline first filed schedule for this route in late-November 2019, that shows service to be operated by Boeing 737-800.

My neighbour was returning on a Wizz flight from Romania, which according to him was full of Roma Gypsies although I am not sure this is relevant to the story. The Captain made an announcement that a stewardess mobile phone had gone missing and that no one was going to be allowed off the flight until it had been found. Sure enough when the phone hadn’t turned up the police boarded the flight as the Captain wanted all the passengers searched which they refused to do. After a stand off the passengers were allowed to disembark.

No it isn't. Not at all.🙄

EasyJet new routes to Verona (3x weekly) and Pula (2x weekly).

I assume at the expense of some other routes as Luton is full !

Stockholm was dropped - so Verona fills that gap. Pula, I'm not sure at the moment

Not forgetting that Vienna also finishes at the end of the winter season- (route to be operated by Wizz from July)
