Course we will! It's human nature. I love, love, love seeing a classic 733 when I'm up at the airport, and I'm thinking of developing plans to give them one more ride next summer. However their unreliability is starting to become an issue even in my optimistic eyes. Ironically GDFL and GDFN, the...

Now I've got off work and had time to think about it here's some analysis on the new routes. It's clear Ryanair have picked some safe, yet ultimately very beneficial routes for LBA Bari is not the first market I expected Ryanair to go for, however it appears to be a solid one, and they must see...

GRO is always late. It was 6X weekly at peak this summer with decent loads (not the best, but some of the flight times were AWFUL) (We’re going to ignore how LBAYORKIE’s quote formatted and pretend it’s here) I present you Summer 2016: 74X weekly flights, 3X based aircraft. Summer 2026: 123X...

It just seems to get worse. All the time. I'm at the point where I'm sort of done looking at the positive side of things for now, because I don't know how worse it can get. I didn't foresee SunExpress pulling out, easyJet pulling out, or now Aurigny, and I almost don't want to know what happens next

Just seen on social media Ryanair are reportedly closing their 7 aircraft base in Berlin. Shame, was rather hoping for that route at some point

The A321NEOs actually have quite good takeoff performance, that rotation is not unexpected

A: I hope he follows through, it'd be an improvement on many local politicians B: I hope that doesn't alienate anyone thinking of supporting LBA. Reform is very marmite - you either love them or, like me, despise them

Seemingly the Jet2 B738s have decided to come home now - yesterday G-JZHW made her first visit of the year, another one where it's been so long since she visited it predates the resumption of my records. My previous recorded visit is 05/02/2023. Just G-JZBO left now for this year - I do know the...

6 people able to use each scanner at once - that’s better than most places I’ve been to. I guess that means 30 people can be moved on through at the same time

Very unlikely to actually happen, that would cause irreversible damage to the airport. Definitely a power move by the unions to secure a better deal

Yesterday Jet2 B738 G-JZBH made her first LBA visit of this calendar year. Her previous visit was so long ago it predates the resumption of my records over a year ago, my previous record of her visiting LBA was 27/01/2023. Yet to visit this year are G-JZBO and G-JZHW Yesterday's visitors Aer...

Thought it would be fun to mention that yesterday Jet2 B738 G-JZBG made it's first LBA visit in 364 days Jet2 B738s yet to visit LBA this year are G-JZBH, G-JZBO, G-JZHW

Not strictly related to EZY, but I think we’ve lost out double here, as I believe the CDG route killed Ryanair’s route to BVA. It was never the strongest performer, but numbers certainly dipped after easyJet joined the fray, to the point where last September the loads were averaging around 30%...
