the DHL and STARAIR would be interesting as well down to 2000ft🤣🤣

Maybe this has already been covered and I've missed it but two interesting articles I think. Passenger numbers down but yet profits are up, that's a good trick! Does that mean that although there are fewer passengers, they are getting more cash out of them when they're having the Belfast City Airport Experience?:hmm:

Interesting that the Gatwick was doing 250k per year, that's a big loss by any standards. Amazed that they haven't been able to source another London route. I've said it before, London City and Heathrow are good but not really geared to the leisure market.

don't know why the Irish news are reporting it, sure Belfast is in the U.K.

A paper based in Belfast, on the island of Ireland? God knows. Why does the Belfast Telegraph report on news outside of Belfast? Why does someone with a username invoking a military regiment based in Colchester care so much about Northern Irish aviation?

All questions I’ll leave to the intellects here to ponder.

If you want to engage in obtuse political point making I suggest you head over to Jet Blast/comments section of political pages on Facebook/The Sun/Daily Mail. The AA&R threads are of interest to people employed in the aviation sector here in NI and local aviation enthusiasts. Both groups contain a wide cross-section of individuals from different communities, few (if any) of whom are interested in your political views.

Contribute in a mature fashion or get lost.

Now, back to the articles. Any thoughts how less footfall has generated an increase in profits?:8
Shappin and Parkin and the filling of the cake hole.

2 para is a code name for an avaition system, unlike you, i have done my homework. The coldstream guards are based in Clochester, wiki isnt always correct.

Another airborne 7700 avoided by Flybe this am? BE729 to Leeds rejected take off as we were sitting at the hold, waiting to go next.

What is going on? Are the Dash 8’s in such a bad state that they are struggling to keep them airworthy or was today not a tech issue?

Edit: Updated flight number to be correct.

i think its only a matter of time.... Yes, 2 major fatalities from a new boeing aircraft and they are pulled, these faults wont go un noticed.

Just checked the departure board and BE729 was operated late by G-JEDW. Earlier it was showing as G-ECOB and thats what I eyeballed.

G-ECOB hasn’t flown since so I’m guessing that means it has gone tech or perhaps there was a bird strike during takeoff roll? There were quite a few magpies flying around close to the runway as my flight backtracked.

Of course they won’t - that’s why the flight crew will have decided to prematurely terminate the flight. They will then make an entry in the aircraft technical log. This entry regarding the fault “ wont go un noticed” (sic) by the engineers who will rectify the defect and the aircraft will return to service. No big drama: this is how the system works and how it has worked for a century.

2Para - life is not a tabloid newspaper. It’s OK, we professionals have the situation under control - you can rest easy.

I suggest you would be under qualified to fly a kite, the telegraph and I news are broadsheet format, smartypants, U keep telling yourself that.😂😂

Obviously this is conjecture because we don’t know the actual reason the departure was aborted, regardless it is certainly reassuring that the crew spotted whatever the problem was. The system worked.

That said, does the volume of incidents Flybe have had recently fall outside the bounds of ‘normal’ ? It feels like maybe the answer is at least ‘a little’.

Its a good job that we have smart arses about like you, panpipe, the world would be a dark and dull place without you.

Well, as with your other posts, you suggest incorrectly. At a very rough and slightly conservative estimate I have shipped about half a million people into or out of NI over the past decade. You can trust me with your kite 2Para.

If airlines (and passengers) were prepared to pay for it, I'm sure ground handlers would love to have enough staff to cope with any possible peak in demand.
