Leeds Bradford: Jet2 Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[White Heather]

I agree, strange they didnt fly into Leeds.

Possibly an EMA based aircraft, and that would have meant it wasn't there first thing next morning to operate its flight (assuming it wouldn't have been aĺlowed to depart LBA before 0600).

That was a test flight which it finally passed and is now back in service operating a flight down to Alicante.

I did wonder but for an empty 733 it had a long take off roll even taking account of the heat. Maybe not pushing the engines too hard?

Something must have gone tech?

A321, G-HYLA has positioned out from Manchester to Antalya this evening as EXS041A to operate the EXS13DK Antalya to Leeds service ETA 03;10 tomorrow morning.

Once I saw a B733 take off empty, the engines were so de-rated it sounded from a distance like a B738. Runway 32 takeoff, still took off before taxiway November intersection (maybe around Taxiway Lima)

I've had a look - the engines didn't sound particularly strained and I've seen empty takeoffs use around that much runway before (it was about 1000-1100 metres)

Anyone know what HLYA is doing today? There is nothing currently showing on FR24, not even a positioner to MAN, so is it staying at LBA as a precautionary back-up?

Now showing on FR as returning to Manchester as EXS 043A at 1120.
