And although the fog lifted slightly it looks like it’s getting thicker again

I never actually knew airports stayed closed on Christmas Day.

CWL only had BY operating today, with their charters.

Also BRS dosen’t have much movement – the whole EZY fleet seem to be on stand and the only flights today were the charters and the EZY GVA flight

ABZ was open for the first time in many years on christmas day, Air France requested the airport to open so that they could operate one flight to Paris.

Well DUB is closed and airlines dont get a say. The American carriers asked to fly in this morning but were told NO.

Yep a little thing called Christmas surprisingly..

Nothing like a bit of sarcasm eh Tom? 😀

I have to admit, I were wondering why there’s no traffic through an airport, the fact that it’s December the 25th would have given me a pretty good clue why!

By the way A225HVY, I like your signature!

Yep a little thing called Christmas surprisingly..

Edited to show the days arrivals.

I put the live ATC on around 1330 and the EK was just taxiing for her take-off and the controller commented that it was the first aircraft he had seen all day due to the fog at the airport. I had clear skies and a white Xmas where I am, which is only 17 mins from GLA. So I don’t know how it was so foggy there.

Plenty of GSM,BA,BD,BE aircraft on the ground I suspect…

Anyway, hope you’ve all had a good Xmas,

Note the based KLM City Hopper is’nt here. She did’nt operates last nights inbound service from Amsterdam. So i guess she’s over there at the moment.

No arrivals or departures? :confused:

Not heard of Xmas in the People’s Republic of West Yorkshire?

Have a thought for the poor b*ggers who are working Xmas.

The Thomsonfly Boeing 757-200 flight BY203B from Malaga has just landed on runway 32 at 13:15. She has been parked on stand 8 with the air bridge. Did,nt see here reg
though.

Yep, seems like an off day for Jet2.

Airport closed for the day?

:EDIT: Seems there was only 1 departure, the BD flight to LHR @ 0645. Other airports are quiet, Jet2 not operating from MAN either, so no wonder LBA is quiet, as their main operator is having a day off 😀
