Although we all have our own views, I thought it might be interesting to share an AI view on why LBA has underperformed when compared to similar UK regional airports / cities – namely: NCL, BRS, LPL. It came back with 9 points, most of which we are well aware of. Compared with similar‑sized UK...

Based on my last flight into LGW in April, I don't believe the airport offers a flight connection service. You can check your baggage through, but have to clear customs and re-enter via the usual departure process.

I noted the visibility at one point this morning was as low as 50m with a reported RVR of 150m3. That really is extreme and outside of CAT IIIA limits.

When I did a search for the article, the numbers / people stated withn, the following result came back " This strongly suggests the text you provided is synthetic, unpublished, or from an internal / draft / AI‑generated source " Based on that, I'd take it with a very large pinch of salt.

I see Chris Woodroofe (Manchester Airport MD) was at Leeds Station this morning, discussing Northern Powerhouse Rail. He touched on MAG's £1.3B investment and how they are looking to grow their catchment area, attract new long-haul routes with the hope of benefiting the whole of the North.

Is FR24 purely teasing us, by showing a KLM 737 operating into LBA tomorrow 🤔

Probably isn't, but every now and then we do get some very poor days with EI. Yesterday for example, Emerald managed to fly absolutely zero passengers from LBA- BHD.

Not sure if there are any photos of the new stands, but managed to snip the enclosed from a YouTube video. Courtesy of Skiathos Paul.

Or Blue Islands, perhaps 🤔

The wind during the period was 280° at 19-20 knots, but with gusts registered between 30-35 knots.

Ground staff strikes in AMS.

Just to confuse us even more, it appears to be also operating a LBA-JER service. The flight number suggests it's to cover this mornings HUY-JER flight. Tech ATR 72 perhaps???

My sister who lives ~ 5 miles from LBA, is flying to PMI on Saturday for a Med cruise, but from MME. When booking, they were told that LBA wasn't available. I wonder if TUI are trying to fill a poor selling MME flight, or the LBA flight was completely full at the time of booking.

Missed or Pissed :-). Anyway, LUFC return charter.

14 for departures and 32 for arrivals, due to fog. That will have kept ATC busy, this morning.
