This will result in more than just a longer runway There is some extra technical "bumph" that is being overlooked here. Beyond just gaining a bit of extra takeoff distance (of course every little helps), the airport will get a massive boost to its CAT III reliability and freeing up space on the...

Just to repeat, it was produced by AI but you need to look at the main point of the information which was to provide an answer to how the airport plan in increase the take-off run by lowering the ILS. What wasn't mentioned by the airport was its ability to make the ILS more stable allowing them...

That is exactly as I understand it but it comes with additional benefits as the ILS safety areas would also be reduced meaning holding points closer to the runway would able to be used speeding up the operation. It also likely resolves the company issue regarding "Jet2 A321Neo" aircraft ops at LBA.

Subject: EGNM Infrastructure: The N1/L1 "Fog" Factor and TORA Recovery For those tracking the airfield side of LBA:REGEN, the real "hidden" win isn't just the terminal—it’s the projected relocation of the CAT II/III holding points at N1 and L1. Currently, LBA suffers from a "double penalty"...

The following is compiled by AI but makes interesting reading all the same. This is in relation to the airport saying it is looking to make more use of the current runway length recently discussed in the LBA general thread. LBA:REGEN - How "Lowering the ILS" Boosts Takeoff Performance There...

Great work @Finger66 I'm curious how lowering the ILS will increase the take off distance?

Nah, just do what the politicians do and give one question with five parts. haha! :)

Is there any update on the CGI for the phase 2 of the terminal so people can have a better idea of what to expect once the work is complete? Is there any update to when the different parts will become available: The new CSZ; new arrivals meet and greet area; arrivals carousels (4 and 5)...

Review: Unmatched Air Traffic Control – A Worthy Addition to your Mobile Hangar? The View from the Glass Tower Hello fellow avgeeks! If you’ve spent any time scouring the app stores for a decent mobile sim that doesn't feel like a shallow "tap-to-win" arcade game, you’ve likely stumbled across...

SAF currently costs 3–5 times more than Jet A‑1. For airlines already operating on razor‑thin margins, that’s a huge financial burden and as the commitment to SAF grows over the years the burden will grow. Most UK carriers argue that unless SAF becomes cheaper or more widely available, they’ll...

Geopolitics, Power Plays and the Future of UK Aviation Aviation has always been a political bone on contention. Every flight path is shaped by diplomacy, every airport expansion by ideology, and every fuel policy by global power struggles. In 2026, the industry sits at the crossroads of climate...

I'm not too sure that is necessarily the case. If Jet2 only have so many aircraft they can base at Leeds, they may regard other more profitable destinations as a priority. If and when the council stop trying to adjitate the planning process to allow more flights, then maybe then Jet2 will look...

Presented as a mere fleeting play for the World Cup market, Wizz Air’s foray into US slots raises a compelling question. Is this a calculated masterstroke or a bridge too far? If they play their hand perfectly, the payoff could be immense, yet one wonders if this is a seasonal opportunistic grab...

The airport was very aware of the problems a full refurbishment would cause which is why they initially wanted to press ahead with a new terminal. We are where we are and at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. It was around the time of some poor media coverage about the...

@LBAYORKIE it was something I belive you raised at one of the previous meetings where I also attended. The response was just that they were aware of the issues raised but didn't comment any further. I suppose you could ask for an update as recent users of the lounge have been far from happy.

Tui who would be their main competitor in that sector have been slightly reducing their offering over the last year suggesting the market isn't strong enough at the moment.

For all the stick they get for their performance, usually due to the weather, their timetable is exceptionally good to be fair.

I bet they won't, but we'll see.

It looks like your experience on board your flight was superior to that shown by the ground staff at the airport. The on board product looks really impressive to be honest, especially for short haul ops, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Your comments re starlink were...

I bet nearly all those will be Aer Lingus flights due to their operational capabilities from Leeds.
