If this is indeed the final curtain for easyJet’s "current" stint at LBA, it proves once again that until the airline is willing to commit based hardware to Yeadon, away based routes will always be at the mercy of network shuffling. The focus now shifts entirely to whether LBA management can...

Seeing booking horizons pause right after the New Year peak is classic easyJet schedule management for non-based routes, rather than a final curtain call. We will get a much clearer picture of their long term plans once the full summer schedule releases drop so for now I still believe we should...

I'm not sure when the next ACC meeting is scheduled. I recall it was mentioned previously that a new CGI fly through for Phase 2 of REGEN would be too expensive to justify, but would it at least be possible to get a few more behind the scenes photos of the ongoing work instead?

I meant leaving the route.

Seeing a booking horizon end in February is standard easyJet inventory management rather than evidence of a route being quietly dropped. Lets wait and see rather than making assumptions that EasyJet are leaving LBA. I tend to agree. StarFlyer based their previous thoughts on slot requests and...

The Court of Appeal's decision to throw out the final legal challenges against Gatwick's Northern Runway project means the £2.2bn dual runway expansion is officially ready to move ahead. With the original planning consent upheld and the eight-year legal battle wrapped up, attention finally...

Green light for Northern Runway project after Court of Appeal rejects legal challenge Pierre-Hugues Schmit, Chief Executive of London Gatwick said: "The Court of Appeal decision to comprehensively reject the legal challenges brought by the two campaign groups opposing London Gatwick’s...

With the Middle Eastern hubs already performing strongly out of EDI, direct links to India feel like the most natural next step for long haul growth. Delhi or Mumbai with Air India or Indigo would be absolute game changers for both business traffic and visiting friends and relatives, especially...

Focusing specifically on infrastructure, I wanted to open up a discussion on whether Edinburgh's current capital investment programme can keep pace with peak demand. Looking first at airfield and gate capacity constraints, the continuous expansion of base carriers like Ryanair, easyJet, and...

Where do you see EDI's network heading over the next couple of years, and what would be on your wishlist for new airline additions or route launches? Curious to hear everyone's thoughts!

UPDATE: Catania Operations Resuming as Etna Alert Downgraded Following the extensive disruptions over the past week, there is finally some positive movement regarding flight operations in the region. 1. Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) – Reopening Underway Airspace Reopened: Following an...

I posted something on this in the main part of the forum following some further investigation 🔎

Volcanic Ash Disruptions: Over 1,350 Flights Impacted Across the Mediterranean (Mount Etna Eruption) The ongoing eruption of Mount Etna has caused widespread disruption across the Mediterranean this week, with over 1,350 flights cancelled, delayed, or rerouted. Because individual flight...

Maybe it is just down to the airlines SOPs

That must be very frustrating for all concerned. I think Etna is at its most active state for many years and it is erupting from multiple flanks.

The government’s decision to introduce Air Passenger Duty effectively killed off the domestic aviation industry, and it will take far more than green technology to restore it to its former strength. The fundamental issue is that you need a viable industry to transform in the first place...

In the UK, rail passengers have grown so used to sub-standard service that poor performance is now just accepted as the norm. In stark contrast, the aviation sector has been unfairly singled out for 'green taxation', despite domestic flights contributing a negligible fraction of co2 emissions, a...

Cracking video review, thanks for sharing! Loved the AvGeek spotter tip at Madrid always appreciated! For £147 all in with luggage, seat choice, and food on a 3+ hour run, it looks like proper value for money in 2026. Fair play to the crew for delaying the meal service during that bout of...

Yes thank you. Sorrento was lovely. We stayed at Vilaggio Verde so only a short walk to the centre.
