Monarch A321 G-OZBO has positioned in this morning. I think it's subbing for a poorly A320.

Meanwhile Boeing 737-300F, G-CELW has just positioned out to Belfast Int'l as EXS48A. She has spent the past 2 weekends here at Leeds for some reason.

Hawk ZK022(VYT 57) ILS and overshoot runway 14 at 2005

 

[a300boy]

Disturbed my Emmerdale / Coronation Street viewing !
I thought the military closed after 1700 on weekdays and go home for the weekends.

 

[oldendays]

Eastern Airways Embraer 145 here this evening. G-CGWV.

 

[lbaspotter]

We have a Gainjet Boeing 737-400 booked in to LBA on Sunday, November 6th: ETA 00:50z / ETD 22:50z

Looks to be connected to WWE wrestling as they are visiting the First Direct Leeds arena on same day.

 

[lbaspotter]

Don't know whats happening but hearing rumours the runway is currently closed at LBA until 12:00z

Anyone heard anything??

 

[White Heather]

Well it couldn't have been properly closed as there was a Flybe departure to Belfast that was airborne at 1118. There were no arrivals due after 1040 until after 1200 so perhaps they were taking the opportunity to do some minor maintenance work.

The must have found another hole in the concrete, as found out that the reason it was closed for 30 mins was due to them undertaking emergency runway repairs, yet again!

Also understand that inspections of runway have been undertaken recently. This is for the planned overnight annual winter runway works once again.

 

[lbaspotter]

Jet2's Boeing 737-8MG, G-JZHJ has just left LBA and positioned to its new home (for now anyway) MAN as EXS31E. G-JZHK remains LBA based.

 

[White Heather]

I thought it was HK going to MAN and HJ staying with us?

Looks like the been a change of plan..

Also see Monarch Airbus A321, G-OZBI positioned in this afternoon as MON750P from London Gatwick to operate the MON7508/7509 Cyprus-Larnaca service.

Guessing Leeds based Airbus A320's G-OZBX may have gone tech seen as the other G-ZBAU has operated this evenings Faro service.
