RE: Ryanair turboprop aircraft???

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-05-02 AT 08:59 PM (GMT)]Euroceltic are at the moment not operating any regular service from LPL. Occasional services to WAT have operated on football charters. Their servies stopped basicly because of poor loads on the Luton route from Liverpool and this can only attributed to the lack of promotion of the service. Easyjet offered LPL-LTN and carried very healthy loads, but fell out with Luton over their landing fees and stopped it. I flew on Euroceltic a few times, and was always amazed to see any others on it ! i wondered how the other passengers ever discovered it. Their other major problem was the fact that their second F.27 was taken out of service ( and I dont know if it ever came back) for technical reasons. They chatered in other aircraft including a British World ATP which i flew on.

I understand their LPL-WAT service started off well, but by this time they were suffering aircraft problems.

To answer the original question Ryanair started out I think with a EMB flying LGW-WAT, they also had an ATR 42 for a while and they charter an HS 748 both of which they used through LPL several years ago.

RE: BA Pic

RE: How are BMI’s transatlantic services doing?

I agree I think there is a limit to what MAN can cope with demand-wise. A west coast route may have been a better bet SFO or LAX maybe.

RE: How are BMI’s transatlantic services doing?

Hi

I tried to fly on BMI in Feb this year to get to New Orleans. Everything was going fine until there was a schedule change.I would have ended up waiting in CHI for longer than the flight took to get from Manchester over there. I tried to alter to fly via Washington but they just couldn’t sort it out. in the end I scapped the who thing and went US Airways, which was fine, and on their new A330, very nice !!
To answer your question, I understand they are still not doing that great, I think they launched the routes to try and prompt a LHR- US decision.

RE: The A340

Hi

I have flown on an A340 of Sri Lankan, and found it quite nice, I like the fact that you can get 2 seat together and u are not stuck with having a row with 3 seat.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 30-04-02 AT 11:47 AM (GMT)]Its also strange that the Government doesn’t seem to mind the fact that from many regional airport around the UK its far easier to fly to Amsterdam for onward connections than LHR. I do not believe that this is in the countries best interests, however I can see why people do it (I do !!) LHR is a nightmare and not very user friendly. I do still think it is important that the capital has good links to the regions of the UK and LHR is the main airport for transfer connections.
