Leeds Bradford: General Airport Discussion & Updates

[Aviador]

Maybe if nobody wants to claim the land we should claim it and chop the lot down.

 

[LsS27]

Who pays the council??

 

[lbaspotter]

If you do decide apron yourselves to Chop the bushes down at the cemetery end. make sure to leave the cuttings behind. Just lay them on top so they don’t get blown about.

Let's hedge our bets by forming our own branch of LCC Tree Services!

Really? Well it was their land years ago when traffic wardens used to issue tickets for parking up there as the double yellows were still visible.
Absolute muppets country is ※※※※※※

The trees that obscure the view are on the opposite side of the road. The bushes that are just the other side of the fence at the cemetery ARE trimmed by the council.

Well, as I have pointed out before, that bit of the old road, where the viewing takes place is a public highway. and was left like that on purpose as for some reason, as related to me by one of the highway engineers of the former Aireborough Council when the new diversion was built. Therefore the trees on the slope are within the curtilage of the public highway. LCC don't understand the technical things like that. If some 'vandal' cut down the vegetation bit by bit and cleared up afterwards- whose to know?

Im talking about the trees on the opposite side of the road not the bushes at the cemetery. Its those that block most of the view.

Who pays the council??

Council say its not their land. Highways say it is though so I havent given up.

Am I right in thinking both air bridges are back in working order for the time being?

No stand 8 airbridge hasn’t worked in a few years.

Not sure. I've seen stand 7 air bridge in use but not 8.

 

[Aviador]

I thought I'd seen it being used. I think @White Heather reported a while ago that the airport had said it was going to fix it as part of the terminal works.

If you have seen it being used I’d think you will have seen the one on stand 7 being used but stand 8 has not worked in a few years. They’ve tried to fix it before with no luck and I’ve heard mention over the last few years that they were going to demolish it and provide more ground equipment space for swissport but this could have changed since then.

They did say they would fix it but I think they said it would be replaced instead as part of phase 2. Not certain though and it's not been mentioned recently. Now we are into phase 2 (running alongside the completion of phase 1), it might get a mention at this month's meeting. If I can remember, and get a chance, I'll ask.

Two aviramps have been delivered. Unsure who owns them, or where they will be used, but Jet2 staff will be trained on them.

Understanding the cost implications, it would still seem advantageous to have at least a couple as it could make it easier to attract future airlines.

Flew out yesterday on FR2503…plane was full.
The Ryanair check in line went as far back as the currency exchange kiosk…crazy. This self check in is bonkers especially if there 2 or 3 FR departures close together as it takes people who are not used to it ages to do it. We had a family of 5 in front of us with 5 check incases…what a perlava that was.
Fast Track was empty thankfully, otherwise fairly straight forward.
