ATC at Luton is provided by NATS, not AENA.

With the gradual withdrawal of the Jet2 733s and the increasing numbers of 738s (and Airbuses) stands 1, 5 and 6 will become less and less suitable for parking Jet2 aircraft. I expect this is already being addressed behind the scenes but stands 3 and 4 also need reinstating somehow.

Sounds familiar! I think this will be the second time Air Baltic have subbed for Jet2 at Leeds Bradford. I well remember the first.

LBA might just have their eyes on that nice new radar. Just saying.

Situation normal!

Meanwhile, back in Britannia country, I hope there is some recognition of the fifty year anniversary, as there was for Air Anglia and its successors. However, the latter has had an unbroken and more fruitful presence at LBA so is perhaps considered more worthy of acknowledgement. We shall see -...

Can anyone please explain the concept that TUI is apparently unable to compete with Jet2 at Leeds Bradford, hence the limited TUI offering from LBA? I'm not doubting the existence of the idea or that is what was once said. But I've never understood it and I'm not sure I believe it. After all...

Coronado. I'm fairly sure Spantax never had any Caravelles, though a few Spanish airlines did.

Thanks user but all I can see is a lightning bolt, an envelope and the FFA logo. Not to worry. What I'm asking isn't private. Do you know if it's possible to walk from the Clayton Hotel to The Romper pub near the hangars ? Also, are the public still allowed access to the car park roof at...

User001. I need to send you a private message but I can't find the facility. Is it still possible on this site ? Thankyou.
