Very busy period for LPL coming up soon with many LPL-MAD flights 31 May ,1,2 June. Big variety of aircraft inc Ethiopian Airlines 787, Corseair 747, several A330/340s or Iberia some 767s plus usual A320 size aircraft, Older MD80 will be operating too
|
I saw Ethiopian is opertaing ex MAN along with a South African Airways A340-600 ?
Looks like Vueling are basing 3 a/c at LPL for those days, operating all day long shuttles between LPL and MAD. IBE have many flights to as you mention, including several heavies. |
I believe the Ethiopian is the Man schedule flight which will do a standard turnround to Madrid and return in time for evening departure and yes South African is coming to Manchester
|
I understand the Liverpool departing Ethiopian 787 is a Paris aircraft, which I think was the same for the Kiev flights.
|
I'm amazed IB have so much spare capacity with what it planned for Liverpool & London, but they have been planning for this for at least 2 years now!
|
I hope I can pop down to the airport over at least one of the days to see some of the activity.
|
On a different note, I have noticed Wizzair have used the A321 quite often of late.
|
Very busy weekend coming up for Liverpool with numerous Madrid flights, quite a few heavies operating including Virgin , Ethiopian, Iberia, Air Austral and Corse Air (747).
|
Virgin A330, Corse Air 747, Ethiopian 787 all departing LPL-MAD today around mid day, amongst other departures all day. Vueling have A320/21 based over the period.
|
The same in BRS with the A321 used more than the A320. Has Wizzair pax numbers grown or have they some A320 out of service.

Also in the old days it’d be charters or nothing. Now you have options. You can just jump on Ryanair to Gdansk or Naples or wherever they go then take another easyjet or Ryanair or Wizz to Madrid or somewhere else in Spain. |
The best ever was incoming traffic with the final at OT in 2003 - what a day that was. Lets hope Liverpool or Manchester can host the final again soon...and good luck Liverpool tonight :)

The Austral is the highlight nothing else really that exciting other than the Iberia A330 and maybe the Corseair B747 even though over years
have been to most british airports that can handle B747 |
Were all these viewable from the Spectators Balcony? :ok:
|
Maybe Navpi was hoping for Sterling Caravelles and Spantax Coronado's!! Very impressive operation me thinks.
