Ryanair

I think that it is a sign that the airlines think that the "economy" has improved enough for people to book more business/leisure trips.

 

[Aviador]

Given the expansion going on at other airports I think the signs have been there for sometime. It just takes Leeds so long to catch up. We'll get there in the end.

Just to add to my earlier post Ryanair's Learjet, M-ABGV is due back into Leeds this morning between 11:00-1200.

 

[jason1-11]

It seems like an eternity since we had any rumours or confirmed routes so let’s hope something comes to fruition .


I was actually starting to think that LBA must have put an “out of the office” message stating please contact Doncaster or Manchester if you a potential new airline wishing to start services from Leeds lol

And today's Ryanair Leeds news has actually made it on to this evenings BBC Look North Programme.

 

[scottrhino]

Great news. Is it possible that Ryanair will be back with any other routes to Central/Eastern Europe/Scandinavia with non based aircraft or is the winter offering all we will have for the moment much as its welcomed??

 

[Aviador]

Interesting to see Bradford minimalised in the latest press release image!? I note LBA are using this vantage point from the Hilton Doubletree in Leeds more and more for press releases.

 

[jason1-11]

7 flights on a Wednesday vs Jet2's expected 1.

Impressive and we'll done to MOL and the Team at Ryanair for showing commitment to LBA.

And monarch 0 flights on a wed

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Jet2's TWO flights on a Wednesday. AMS and DUS with AMS none operational for a few weeks in January.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Well this is impressive. Very good for both LBA and Ryanair and shows commitment by the airline to airport but then again this is Ryanair. Got to wonder if an additional aircraft is on it's way for Summer 2017.

 

[Seasider]

We don't want another based aircraft, but more flights from other bases when the airport is quiet.

 

[lbaspotter]

We don't want another based aircraft, but more flights from other bases when the airport is quiet.

I understand your reasoning for not having a 4th LBA based aircraft so to fill up the quite periods through the day. But surely the better offering is more the merrier!

 

[Seasider]

Having re-read my post it does seem a bit "dismissive". I mean that the preference would be flights from other bases.

 

[airforced]

There are press reports circulating in Greece that Ryanair are cutting short some of their programme to Greece by as much as 2 months this summer. Their flights from LBA to Kos was one of those mentioned with the flights ending on 2 October. Other airports affected are Liverpool, Stansted, Bournemouth and East Midlands. Flights to Rhodes were also mentioned as being affected by this early, previously unscheduled, change.

It seems as they are in dispute with the airports concerned who haven't apparently given them what they wanted. Nothing new there then!

I can't see anything on the Ryanair website about this as yet so maybe it will get sorted. Hope so for those who have already booked (and paid) for their flights. Is anyone able to add anything more in this?

 

[airforced]

Couldn't find this piece earlier and it isn't the one with all the airports mentioned but it does give more info on the dispute Ryanair are engaged in with the Greeks. Link here http://greece.greekreporter.com/201...-of-ignoring-requests-for-lower-airport-levy/

Hope the link works. If not please cut and paste.
