Leeds Bradford: KLM Flight Status, Hub News & Discussion

[Seasider]

Not if there is not enough pax to fill them.

Says who?

 

[Len Fish]

Even if a fourth service could be justified at LBA there could well be other routes where an additional aircraft could be more profitably utilised. What we would like for LBA and what we get in the light of aviation economic reality are two completely different things.

It's not that long ago that we, and especially I, were complaining about the number of E175 rotations so let's celebrate more E190/E295s and see where that may lead. Certainly seems KLM have confidence in the route

 

[twevsmiff]

The tower just asked KLM what were the marking on the side of his aircraft. And they said it was to celebrate 50years of operating into Leeds/Bradford. Anyone see it or got a photo?

 

[EX9]

Nothing was written on the aircraft it was signs for a photo and video shoot.

We seem to have an E175 back today as night stopper and this morning's mid morning flight was an E195. Both have recently been E295s. Was this expected? I would have expected Monday to be a busy day with the E295 operating?

Yes it was planned change due to summer School Holidays which see less business passengers. The larger E295 will return from the last weekend in August.

See link for timetable I posted a few months back.

I am looking at flights from Leeds to Vienna next May. Out Sunday teatime and back Friday 22:00. E190 both ways.

So I wonder if we are losing the E195's again at some point?

Doubtful. Both are weekend flights so liable to use smaller aircraft on some flights. KLM are clearly changing equipment according to time of year, day of the week and time of day. This morning, for example, it was an E195-2 on the 0930 arrival despite most flights currently operating on E190s and E175s.

 

[Finger66]

Definitely still seems to be plenty of the flights being operated by 295s. Yes there are some 175s and 190s but things can't be all that bad/quiet which is good to see

 

[Severn]

Thought it would be interesting to see which aircraft types KLM send to LBA every week, and here's the data since April-2026:

 

[Finger66]

According to FR24 I note there is no teatime rotation today. Is this yet another permanent flight we have lost on Saturdays? I know KLM don't seem to operate this specific rotation year round. Anyone any further updates?

 

[White Heather]

If, by any chance, the E295 doesn't show up in the near future, this may have something to do with it.

A quick look at FR shows that KLM Cityhopper are still flying some of them, including one currently in transit from LBA. It’s not clear from the article if all the aircraft are fitted with the Honeywell system or just some. How odd though that a problem has arisen after most of the aircraft have been in service for a few years.

They are fitted with Honeywell Aerospace

[Finger66]

It is a Saturday and according to FR24 all 3 of today's arrivals and departures are scheduled to be the larger E295s. Definitely a positive in my eyes

If only easyJet had done similar!

Saw a KLM ad on the telly too last night. Makes sense with E295s in abundance now. At least they don't seem to be missing the opportunity and can clearly see LBA's potential - unlike many others!
