Given the nightmare of getting to LBA from anywhere south or east of the city, I think I would rather travel from Finningly Robin Hood and his merry airport, if the services existed.

Realistically though, Finningly may well poach a number of LBA's Charter flights, but I think the Leeds schedules won't be affected all that much.

Humberside are the airport with much more to worry about when Finningly gets going.

Did the runway close, or was it a nasty rumour?

It closed a while back now, about one year I think?

niknak - "Tis true that Humberside have never had any CAS, but there are times that they could have done with it"

When I visited Humberside on my solo QXC I joined left base for a 2 mile final on 09 and had a microlight all over me like a rash. Some people can and will do whatever the hell they feel like outside a zone.

Done all my training from EGNJ and never seen a Microlight yet.
There was a rumour of 27/09 being closed there too for jet parking but with Ryanair and now Easyjet ditching, might not be so attractive to the management now.
