Leeds Bradford: Ryanair Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[White Heather]

Now aircraft who miss the turn off have to taxi to the end of the runway and taxi back I wonder if aircraft that brake harder than normal to avoid having to do that will cause more wear and tear to the runway surface? Wasn’t the reason for not allowing u-turns any more to lessen runway wear?

I think the problem was caused by aircraft turning on the runway rather than braking after landing. I can't see it making much difference to a concrete ribbed runway whether they brake hard or gently and much of the stopping power is reverse thrust, which has no impact on the runway.

Understand the airport were getting "tyred" of the runway turning leaving marks

I thought the turning restriction haď been removed now Alpha is open again.

I thought the turning restriction haď been removed now Alpha is open again.

No they lifted the turning restriction while Alpha was closed. Once it re-opened, they need to vacate by Alpha or go to the end and around the loop. That's my understanding anyway .

[LBA4EVER]

Thanks lbaspotter, so 57 departures a week! Pretty good

 

[arry]

After all the great work done by lbaspotter on the winter timetable I’m hearing from other, non-aviation connected forums, that Ryanair are cancelling a number of flights during the winter months due to only receiving 14 of the 27 new 737 max aircraft due by December ‘23. O’Leary said in an article that the remaining 47 due by end of Qtr1’24 is “in the lap of the gods”. It look like a repeat of problem’s earlier this year. Hopefully, LBA will be unaffected as I’ve not heard of any cancellations yet.

 

[ls27]

According to a report on the CH site, only BOH will be affected in the UK

EMA is losing a based aircraft whilst Dublin is losing 2.

Ryanair Announces Autumn Winter Schedule Cuts Due To Boeing Delivery Delays – Ryanair's Corporate Website

Europe’s largest airline group, the parent company of Buzz, Lauda and Malta Air. The Group connects over 240 destinations in 40 countries.

corporate.ryanair.com

The schedule I posted a few days back for LBA remains intact.

 

[Finger66]

Dublin might also be a reaction to the night flying limits!

 

[ls27]

No.Its's about price hykes at Dublin Airport.

 

[Aviador]

No.Its's about price hykes at Dublin Airport.

That will be what Ryanair are saying. The reality might be somewhat different. Check out the main Ryanair thread.

 

[Len Fish]

What it doesn’t say is that the delays are due to fastener holes on some 737 Max aft pressure bulkheads being improperly drilled. There are around 1,000 holes in the aft pressure bulkhead, 500 are machine-drilled and on some planes those had been drilled by one of three subcontractors to Spirit, the fuselage manufacturer, as oblong instead of circular holes. As you do!

 

[lbaspotter]

Looks like Jet2 are giving Ryanair a fight on the Leeds - Paris service next summer 2024, with a total of 8x weekly flights operating between the pair.

Ryanair - Paris Beauvais remains 3x weekly with change of days (Mon, Thu & Sat)
Jet2 - Paris Cdg additional Tue flight, Increases from 4x to 5x weekly (Mon-Tue, Thu-Fri & Sun)

 

[Finger66]

And wait until Air France hop on CDG.........hopefully anyway! Good to see the above increase though regardless
