-Won't be long till Eastern pull out then.

-We said that about the Southapton route and Eastern are still flying on that. It is their high frequency on their routes that still enables them t keep flying, although I dont think there is an Easter route out of Leeds now not being competed on.
I guess this will be flown by the Exeter based aircraft?

-The diversity of operators who are starting to increase their presence at LBA is good news. many people ridiculed the airport of having all it's eggs in one basket referance Jet2, however the services provided by the regional operators such as FlyBe, Air Southwest, Eastern, and now Aer Arann nicely fill the gaps in.
The domestic services (and Irish routes) in comparison to other regional airports up until a couple of years ago never really reflected the City of Leeds' position within the buisness world.
With a new route for the winter, FlyBe obviously have faith in LBA, and hopefully we could also see expansion into Europe with them if this Summer's Bergerac "toe in the water" runs ok!

-Great news to come back to after a day away yesterday!
Excellent to see both FlyBe and Aer Arann providing expansion, the Galway route intrests me in particular as I have family in that area of Ireland, look forward to using that service.
I remember when FlyBe announced expansion before, and said that they hoped to lauch more routes, and the reaction was 'oh, they've promised that from lots of airports an it's never happened'. Well we now have five routes from FlyBe!
Seems the only way is up for LBA!

-Brilliant news for Leeds. I can see me and members of my family using this route quite alot.

-More to come for LBA too as it seems Scot are going to announce EDI 2x daily starting this winter in competition with bmi. They could do with a bit of competition, hopefully it will bring the fares down!

-Scot Airways would be excellent, and apparantly according to local press, more routes from Jet2 from LBA soon as well!

-Seeing Do 328 at LBA would be cool.

-Is the Scotairways EDI->LBA going to be confirmed soon?
Will there be any chance of GLA->LBA if it proves succesful?

-Wow Eastern + Flybe really hate each other at the moment! Good news for LBA though.
If only our management here at DTV could be quite as good at getting new routes! They haven't even announced the winter Geneva yet, mind you neither have Baby!

-Interesting News, I would be interested in the EDI->LBA route, would prove useful for me :)Off on a small tangent, have FlyBE received all their ordered Dash 8 Q400's?
Don't think so!
There's at least another 20 to come! :D

-Apparantly, Scot Airways have a provisional timetable as below:
CB540 EDI 06:50 LBA 07:45 12345.. 30Oct 23Mar
CB541 LBA 08:10 EDI 09:05 12345..
CB544 EDI 14:00 LBA 14:55 12345.. 30Oct 23Mar
CB545 LBA 15:20 EDI 16:15 12345..
CB546 EDI 17:00 LBA 17:55 12345.7 29Oct 18Mar
CB546 LBA 18:20 EDI 19:15 12345.7
NOT confirmed, but looking good! I'm sure we would see a war between bmi and Scot, would imagine the bmi timings would still suit the business market more.

-I would love to see FlyBE potentialy start foreign routes out of LBA, maybe French or Spanish destinations.

-Good news all round it seems. I'm just looking forward to the Jet2 announcements now. I wonder what PM will pull out of his hat? I notice on the LBA Masterplan the airport is showing 3.1 million passengers now for 2006, is this now achieveable?

-More low prices at lba. Its getting better every second. Lba routes are increasing every moth. Soon we will even catch up the NEMA!
By: 23rd June 2006 at 15:51 Permalink - Edited 1st January 1970 at 01:00
-We won't catch up to EMA anytime soon, believe me!
