They are however like most other businesses having to contend with a significant increase in employment costs as a result of recent political policy changes together with a massive increase in business costs which seem to have hit the airport sector hard…….Hopefully for both employees and the...

Happened recently down at Norwich so I wouldn’t simply dismiss it….As you say it will cause significant damage to LBAs reputation - very shortsighted by the Unions given the potential longer term implications…….

See that clown of a mechanic as decided to pinch the support LBA logo and use it for his own purposes - still at least he’s promoting LBA in doing so 🤣🤣🤣

The Machanic is a complete clown…..Just read his spin and his is now claiming Peel are building all the new houses in the area to support all those who will be working at the airport 😂. Do his disciples really buy into that stuff……The more he spouts the more of a fool he looks….. Just how many...

Leeds and Bradford aren’t however pouring millions of £s into a loss making vanity project though are they……Instead they had more sense and sold their holdings in LBA for a significant profit and handed the commercial risk to the private sector to manage……

A chance for anyone to quiz the mayor on the LBA parkway station - I’d have gone but will be away on hols…...

Peel already own 30% of the group…..What is apparent is the desperation of both CDC and SYMCA around the lease being played out in the public domain leaves them with very little, if any negotiation leavers over Peel……They need Peel (even more so if they were to acquire Harworth Group) to achieve...

They already have with the AENA transaction……..They would not have got the deal they did without that investment…. EZY focus is on NCL at the moment and establishing their presence their and that has had a direct impact on LBA…..

I think the simple answer to “I’m not sure how that stacks for them financially” is it doesn’t!! I also suspect there will be a fair amount of political blow back from a disgruntled local population who still expect a new Manchester airport on their doorstep!! These folks don’t bother read the...

EasyJet in our neck of the woods are concentrating on re-establishing their base and presence up the A1 at Newcastle - thats their current priority in the market in which LBA competes. Folks should remember it is the airlines which decide where and when to place aircraft irrespective of any...

Of course Coppard wasn’t the only regional mayor is attendance - today’s meeting was attended by all regional mayors…..Agree on the optics for DSA but given the news emanating from Teesside at the moment I’d expect if Coppard gets extra funds you can guarantee Houchen would be on the phone...

They also have a big advantage of having plenty of space to develop and a more relaxed planning policy, they also just get on and do things there……..You not only see it in airports but in their train and tram networks and the road infrastructure - years ahead of the U.K.

Guess you've not experienced the joy of the LHR shuttle into MAN T2 recently…..it’s appalling. You disembark through the airbridge, go downstairs and back out onto the apron to then board a bus which then goes right around the whole of the terminal, out back onto the apron before re entering the...

All smoke and mirrors as usually with the DSA crew…..suspect the reason they ended up with the likes of Fell in a senior role is the fact they will have struggled to recruit anyone with the calibre required for the role from within the Aviation industry……

LBA are in discussions daily with their airline partners and will have far more visibility on what plans they have to base which types of aircraft and when than anyone on here has……I suspect one of the reasons for the stand construction not proceeding at this time is it isn’t needed yet and the...

What do folks really expect? Tui bookings are down over 10% this summer…..The travel industry as a whole is struggling at the moment with the cost of living crisis. Plus a number of airlines are struggling with high fuel costs as they failed to hedge enough supply. I’d also add Tui have had...

None of those additions will do anything to alleviate Grant Thorntons concerns….They really are struggling to get anyone with a decent pedigree on board - not one of these appointments has any experience of the commercial activities involved in running an airport operation….the guy involved in...

Peel are notorious land bankers and continually run up against local authority opposition - in every instance they carry on regardless….They will only bend on the lease if it is in their interests - they already have an agreed lease at the end of the day! Meanwhile in other...

AENA don’t have a new board - LBA does post AENA transaction….Made up of the majority of AENA reps plus two from LBA and Infrabridge.

There is hardly any market east of Doncaster…..The majority of the market DSA needs is to the West, South and North and they are adequately served by existing airports…….some or all the routes you’ve mentioned were tried previously and failed as passenger numbers didn’t materialise, TUI excepted……
