Archive Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

[lbaspotter]

Know some people on here wont like this post and yeah i do feel for the poor sods who will have to work. But I've just noticed that the Airport will once again be open on Christmas Day this year and by the looks of things it's getting even busier compared to last few years. There are up 8 flights planned to operate by airlines including KLM City Hopper, Monarch Airlines and Thomson Airways. Surprised British Airways are not running the early London Heathrow shuttle like they are doing at most other UK airports.

Friday, December 25th 2016.

08:30 - MON7504 Tenerife South = Airbus A320-200

13:15 - TOM3512 Tenerife South = Boeing 737-800

The airport being open on Christmas Day is a sign of the times. Twenty or so years ago the idea of a regional airport being open on CD was almost unheard of and only the likes of Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester were operating, albeit with a less than full schedule. Now there's money to be made and the airlines expect availability. I do feel for those who will be working CD, whether they be Swissport, ASIG, ATC and all the others. It would be nice, although probably naive, to think that there are adequate volunteers to staff the show without 'forcing' staff in. I hope the financial and time-in-lieu recompense is equally adequate. FWIW I would be happy to work CD if I could take Boxing Day off but it doesn't work like that with my employer.

As I recall the first year LBA opened on CD was 2000, for a single Britannia Airways 757 to and from either Alicante or Tenerife. Thereafter it's been sporadic to accommodate the likes of Iberworld, Air Europa, PIA and KLM. Now Monarch have joined in it's perhaps something that Jet2 and easyJet will look at.

Interesting departure for Christmas day, CS-GLE Bombardier Global dept midday tonight with excellent water spray. Well I guess if you are rich enough you can afford the staff overtime to fly on Christmas day!!!

 

[lbaspotter]

British Airways are using Airbus A320, G-EUYL on this moring BA1346/1347 (SHT20D/SHT21V) LHR-LBA-LHR shuttle rotation.

Anyone know if this is due good passenger loads?

 

[lbaspotter]

Aer Lingus Regional, ATR72, EI-FMK is positioning in from Dublin now as STK101P after EI-FCY went tech at Leeds this morning after operating the scheduled inbound STK09L from Dublin.

 

[lbaspotter]

Aer Lingus Regional ATR72, EI-FCY has just positioned out back to Dublin empty as STK100P after going tech yesterday morning and having to night stop at LBA last night.

Also worth noting that Easyjet used Swiss based Airbus A319, HB-JZV on today's EZY7346/7345 GVA-LBA-GVA rotation.

It's a while since we've been able to say we've a flight coming in from Barbados! What year did the cruise flights end?

 

[White Heather]

At a guess I would think around 2008?
