Jump to postThis will be great news if this gets off the ground. Bit surprised at Lahore instead of Islamabad? The latter would make more sense as most of the people in the district with Pakistani origin hail from Mirpur which is much closer to ISB.

Jump to postHas to be Jet 2. Very good service and cabin, excellent on time record and good prices...plus they fly from Leeds Bradford!
Easyjet are also good, but service wise don't compare with Jet2.
Any chance of Australian starting a MAN service? They could do it as an extention to FRA.

Cheaper than £5 out and £0.39 return from Amsterdam plus tax?
or £41.40 including tax return to PMI, the cheapest I have seen to PMI with baby is £55 quid all in.
I shall be utilising their services for sure!!

LBA A rail spur will be good for many in the area, but travelling from my kneck of the woods rail is not an option...unless I go five miles the other way to Halifax. Signing to the airport will need to be improved on the roads. I think on the M62 there is one sign, if you miss it you are at the next...
Jump to postMark I believe Finningley has yet to go to inquiry stage, however it will go through. The UK cannot afford to let a long runway go to waste and then build on green belt orfarm land elsewhere, the government would look riddiculous.

EGNM-LBA I've heard a number of stuff around building up the Chevin end of the runway (think its that end!) to add approx 150 metres or so; that way the bump in the runway would not affect the ILS and CAT III so bad.

Hi from another LBA enthusiast!
In addition to LBA's comments, Leeds Bradford Airport has two new rotations to Verona this year to look forward to, as well as Transavia to Heraklion.
I'm looking forward to a great summer with no fog and light winds and only inbound diversions!

Don't think it was slot problems for EMA- just uneconomical, wrong kind of punters!!
I would think their would be higher yield into Leeds due to it being the second largest financial centre in the UK after London....don't think that applies to Nottingham, Derby or Leicester!!
