The fact is that there are a number of airport which charge the same as LBA for drinks - Newcastle, Cardiff both charge the same as LBA….

Hence Grant Thorntons comments re the capability of the FlyDSA management team…..To get credibility in the industry and especially with target airlines they should have hired someone who had experience and was known not some career civil servant. Also what has happened to Munich airport group??

So much for CDC doing full diligence before committing costs to the business case….This is basic and should have been picked up in the survey of the airport they completed before determining the costs for the business case…..Makes one wonder what other costs they’ll uncover if they missed...

Flew the old city flyer express from LBA into LGW numerous times in the 90’s, from recollection it was a Shorts 360! Was quite handy for getting into the City via the Gatwick express apart from when I ended up at Southampton due to fog at LGW! Hopefully it’s not just a slot filler…..

Coppard seems to live in his own universe oblivious to things going on around him in the real world….He is either blinkered to, or more likely chooses to ignore, the current issues in the aviation industry. Add to that the current mood is the US is the polar opposite to look at any manufacturing...

A sad day for those employed but I guess a sign of the commercial stresses in the aviation sector at the moment…. Meanwhile Coppard hops around the globe at the tax payers expense and then reports back about how this will all support his pet project….. Of course it will……it’s all obfuscation and...

I’m presuming the AENA transaction must have completed it’s formalities now as LBA is also listed on their website as one of their own airports…..Good news for LBA. https://www.aena.es/en/airlines/airports-and-destinations/our-airports.html

Exactly that - I’ve friends who have property out there and they say Turkey is far from the cheap holiday destination it was previously….Added to everything is the fact that the Turkish government has implemented some hefty tax increases which have had a significant impact on the cost of...

The tourist market is Turkey is suffering a significant decline. It is no longer the cheap tourist destination it was previously and now add in the crisis in the Middle East it’s no wonder Sun Express are consolidating their flights.

To be honest I never watch Look North. Regional TV, radio and newspapers have all gone down the pan over the years and the quality of their reporting and reporters is pretty deplorable nowadays.

However a quick look at NCLs current arrivals/departures shows that there EasyJet don’t tend to go in for early departures / late arrivals - today / tomorrow for instance they only have a couple of arrivals around 10pm and one after 11pm and on departures one at 10-30pm and one at 5am. So LBA...

Here is the actual approved CLUED…https://publicaccess.leeds.gov.uk/online-applications/files/3CC188F032561901898220881D395D34/pdf/26_00926_CLE-APPROVAL_LAWFUL_DEVELOPMENT_CERTIFICATE-6612792.pdf

The 200 was just my quick calculation based upon what g****BA claimed LBA had exceeded their previous night time quota by….Suspect the devil is really in the detail on this one….If LBA are happy with it that’s all good. They are the ones who liaise daily with their airline partners and dictate...

Seem to remember they were previously accused of breaching the limit by 747 flights by the bedroom spreadsheet guy in Horsforth. This being the case it gives them just short of 200 extra slots - one in the eye for him and his mates!

Seems the airport now have an extra 900 plus movements but will that be enough going forward?🤷‍♂️ “The 941 newly confirmed movements are in addition to the existing limits on night‑time flights at the airport, which were established in a 2007 planning permission and are capped at 2,800...

Just picked this up on local FP page Airports CLEUD* application - decision made 👇 We’ve pasted the full decision made by the Planning Authority below but here’s the summary. Unlimited night flights asked for by the airport have been turned down: - the airport previously applied for CLEUDs...

Meanwhile the aviation looks on…,,The one thing investors hate, whether that’s directly into the airport or to set up an operation there is uncertainty. This whole shambles is what the future looks like for DSA - an airport which for the foreseeable future will be subject to a political...

Suspect it’s all a bit of an irrelevance either way……should the loan be rescinded don’t be surprised when the government takes action to pull something together.

AENA were clear in their briefing note that a key consideration for both NCL and LBA was the fact that they were both freehold assets. The lease around DSA will be a constant millstone around DSA...

Would be interesting to know what costs would be associated with releasing those recently hired. I understood you do t qualify for statutory residency pay unless you’ve been employed for two years minimum? You just get paid for any notice period which for these senior appointments I’d expect to...
