[LeedsPilot]

Airbus A321 LZ-BHK inbound to LBA operating today's BH Air rotation from Burgas. Am I right in thinking the frequent variations in the equipment used on the route is down to aircraft shortages rather than loads? I recall seeing an A330-200 being used on the route last(?) year and only a few weeks ago down to an A319.

 

[lbaspotter]

Just noticed RAF Tornado GR4, ZA548 inbound LBA runway 32 passing over Headingley

Yes is the answer. AirX Boeing 737-500BBJ, 9H-YES is due to position into Leeds at 07:40 from Vnukovo then departs back out at 09:00 to Luxembourg carrying the band "The 1975"

 

[lbaspotter]

Catalan Dragon’s are flying into LBA this afternoon using a Carpatair Fokker 100, YR-FKA which is due in from Perpignan at 14:30 as V32207 for the game against Castleford Tiger’s RLFC. The aircraft will night stop before operating the outbound V32208 at 20:00 back to Perpignan.

Meanwhile Wakefield Trinity Wildcats RLFC are chartering Eastern Airways aircraft to fly them from Leeds/Bradford to and back from Perpignan next Saturday for there away trip to face Catalan Dragons RLFC. EZE9511 will depart out at 08:30 and return later that same evening at 23:00 as EZE9512. My guess is that they will use the Leeds based Saab 2000 which normally sits around doing nothing over the weekend.

Head ups.

Its not showing on the arrivals board but the is a Travel Service Boeing 737-800 due into LBA tomorrow bringing a bunch of Syrian Refugees in to start a new life here in Yorkshire.

 

[oldendays]

I suppose one reason this flight isn't on the arrivals screen is that LBA, HM Government and others would prefer these flights had a low profile, so as to avoid attracting the wrong kind of attention. However now it's in the public domain little point in keeping it hush-hush.

 

[lbaspotter]

It was announced and reported in the press late last year that the UK government has agreed to resettle 20,000 refugees in the UK by 2020, Councils in Yorkshire and the Humber will resettle around 1,500 of them refugees along with others heading to Newcastle, Belfast, London and Scotland. Charter flights are normally operated inbound from Lebanon & Jordan
