Leeds Bradford: KLM Flight Status, Hub News & Discussion

[pug]

Sceptical about how significant the terminal facilities are/will be in respect of future KL ops at LBA. However, I agree that T3 should indeed be given the benefit of the doubt in this situation. I note BRS have been seeing the use of T3 E170s on some of their AMS rotations.

BRS is now an Eastern base. There are as I understand it more to follow.

There will be due to the extra Embraers they are getting. If you perhaps rule out EDI, GLA and MAN doesn't leave too many more current KLC overnighting airports does it? Wonder how much involvement/investment KL are going to have in T3. It's certainly a subject that is getting us all talking - no bad thing there either by the way

I think the purchase into T3 is wishful thinking on the part of those of us who are saying it. But you never know, Eastern have clearly been costing up to AF/KLM group for quite some time so you never know what Mr Lake might have up his sleeve. He certainly knows how to make money though, that’s for sure!

Well, this isn't going to help at all! It seems that the Dutch are doing their best to drive down demand for flights into AMS. You have to wonder how long it can maintain it's position given the increased restrictions and now a 37% increase in fees.

Schiphol airport ups fees 37%, plane tickets will cost more - DutchNews.nl

The Schiphol airport authority is putting up its fees 37% over the next three years and that means tickets will become more expensive, airlines say. By 2027, airlines will have to pay an additional €15 for each departing passenger, thanks to the impact of high inflation and interest rates, the...

Taking on KLC 190's in full KLM livery would for my money make it a lot easier to move to a KLM UK branding.

Stated on the DFF this morning that PH-EZZ one of the rumoured E190s for T3, is back in service with KLM. Oh how we can continue to guess what is really going on here.

It looks like AMS-CWL is staying at 14 weekly flights next summer with no overnighter so is this a route primed for T3 next with W's? Or will it go back to 20/21 weekly and be a T3 based I wonder, or is it a reflection on what is going on in AMS.

Are we generally going to see fewer regional flights but perhaps on bigger aircraft?

Seems like this all has a bit to run just yet

I hope not, considering CWLs history with Eastern i personally would rather they stay away especially on a route like Amsterdam. Hopefully in the future CWL will regain the night stopper with KLM metal.

@Jerry we here at LBA are with you on that one. You only have to read our Eastern and KLM threads to see that

 

[The Pole]

See we have Eastern metal on this mornings AMS LBA AMS rotation.

 

[SierraHotel]

As was the case last Sunday.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

And will be every Sunday, its part of the schedule announced a few months back.

 

[jason1-11]

See we have Eastern metal on this mornings AMS LBA AMS rotation.

The aircraft is scheduled to visit 4 different UK airports today. Namely: Teesside, Leeds, Newcastle and finally ending up in Bristol as their night-stop.

 

[Finger66]

Exactly where it will have started first thing this morning. It will be it's regular Sunday schedule

What could possibly go wrong? 🤷

Manchester has had an Eastern Embraer all summer now they have gone to be replaced by a KLM A321
which seems to arrive at different times each day

 

[rollo]

Out of curiosity just checked how the Eastern Embraer is getting on with its Teesside-Leeds-Newcastle- Bristol trips to/from Amsterdam.

Its last rotation is due in at Bristol 22:10 and is showing ETA of 21:54.

Yes. One day though. Lots of days to come. Lots of weather to come too. And the odd tech issue. I hope they do ok and are equipped to cover the occasional problem without the need to cancel.

 

[Finger66]

At least we are the 2nd and 3rd sectors of the day I believe so let's hope if there is any impact the chances of impact at LBA will be minimal

I’ve been hearing a lot of KKM adverts flying from LBA worldwide of Spotify recently, good to hear!

They are also on Classic FM Movies channel (Global Player) along with numerous ads for Jet2, all of which specifically say Fly from Leeds Bradford. Clearly the ads are regional but still good.
