New Polish Routes For DUB & LBA

Ye its BGY my apoligies.

GRRR…You got my hopes up then. Only joking! Actually I’m surprised I didn’t question it at first. I imagine there are far more profitable places for JET2 to fly than Bergen!

Paul

Ye its BGY my apoligies.

BGO? You sure? Bergen is rather an odd choice.

I assume you mean Milan Bergamo (BGY) ?

Damn! I just went to the JET2 website and they have announced Milan. Guess I’m back to flying SAS to Norway then!

Hi

Heres a couple of press releases on the LBIA website regarding Centralwings.com new serice to Warsaw and Jet2.com new Milan Bergamo route.

First Centralwings new LBA – Warsaw service.

Leeds Bradford Airport spreads it Central’wings’ to Poland!
7 December 2005

Leeds Bradford Airport is delighted to welcome a new airline to Yorkshire. Centralwings is a low cost Polish carrier who will be offering a three times weekly service to Warsaw for summer 2006

With fares starting at only £1 one way, not only is this the cheapest way to travel, but also the quickest. To book your flights, log on to www.centralwings.com

Sally Ramsey, Marketing & Business Development Manager said, “ Over 57% of Polish people still travel to the UK by coach, and with Yorkshire having one of the largest Polish communities outside London, we are pleased to meet the region’s need for low cost travel to Poland.”

Warsaw is a wonderful city located in the heart of Europe, where the main communication routes between the North and South, East and West meet. Enjoy the city’s astonishing atmosphere with its unique mixture of the Western and Eastern culture.

Visiting Mazovia (Mazowsze), the region situated in the very heart of Poland, gives you an opportunity to experience at once the country’s culture and natural beauty.

And now Jet2.coms new 20th route from LBA to Milan Bergamo

It’s Jet2(0).com – Destination No. 20 From Leeds Bradford – Milan!
6 December 2005

Seats Now On Sale To Milan From Just £21 Incl Taxes

Jet2.com’s new service from Leeds Bradford to Milan will take off from Friday 7th April 2006, with city break lovers, holidaymakers and business travellers alike expected to be delighted with the fantastico news.

Milan is a shoppers haven and a shrine to fashion, it hosts the world-famous fashion week and houses enough designer boutiques to put your credit card into meltdown, although at the current Euro exchange rate it may be much cheaper than your local high street. Milan is also the perfect gateway to the world famous holiday resorts of Lake Garda and Lake Como, ideal for those staying a little longer in one of the most scenic parts of Italy.

Football lovers will not be disappointed with Milan. The San Siro stadium, home to both AC and Inter Milan is widely regarded as one of the most atmospheric stadiums in the world when packed with 80,000 cheering fans.

Tourists will not be the only people to benefit from Jet2.com’s new service however, with both Leeds and Milan being important commercial and financial cities, interest from the business traveller is sure to be high.

Jet2.com boss, Philip Meeson, said: “Milan is a wonderful destination and offers endless possibilities for all, whatever their budget”.

“This brings our tally of Italian destinations to four, with our extensive Leeds Bradford programme also serving Pisa, Rome & Venice, flights for all of which are now on sale for Summer ’06. The people of Yorkshire simply love Italy and we’ll give them what they want!”

“We anticipate high numbers of business travellers, attracted by our low fares and the convenient location of Milan Bergamo Airport on the main A4 Autostrada offering excellent road connections from Genoa and Turin in the West to Verona and Treviso in the East”.

Great news. It’s good to see LBA’s expansion continuing!

And Jet2 have just announced LBA-BGO.

They have? Fantastic! Despite my small(ish) rant at JET2 a few days ago, I’m very happy to see them announcing new routes. Norway is a nice place, it’ll be great to be able to get there from my home airport!

Paul

And Jet2 have just announced LBA-BGO.

Excellent news for LBA, great to see another airline here. Just a shame about the flighttimes, they are crap! Lets hope they start more services from LBA, so I can actually see their aircraft!

Next year looking superb for LBA, think thats the 53rd destination from LBA?

Any one had any experience of night time photography at LBA?

Eastern European carriers have a habit of operating flights at strange times into DUB.
BT flight to RIX and VNO,TE flights to VNO and OV flight to TLL all arrive between 2300 and 0100 and depart between 2345 and 0145.

Aye, 1 733 and 2 757s based at NCL next year for TOM.

Apologies for going off topic 😉

LGKR, only rumour I’ve heard of is Wizz from NCL to BUD & WAW

its rumoured Wizz will take the BUD flights from EZY next timetable.. I’d love to see it happen!

someones mentioned Air Berlin too this past week, but possibly a domestic UK flight!

cant find anything to back up the rumours though! 🙂

P.S Thomsonfly 737’s at NCL next summer?? 😮

Good news nevertheless for LBA 😀

LGKR, only rumour I’ve heard of is Wizz from NCL to BUD & WAW

GKirk,

Have you heard anything about an Eastern European LCC planning flights in/out of NCL?

LGKR

90 mins turnaround is a long time for a LCC.
