Hi

Jet2 are basing one off there aircraft down in Tenerife next winter guys. This has now been comfirmed to me by someone with-in Channex. The aircraft and Crews will be supplied by the LBA Based aircraft and flight crews.

LBA flights have also changed from next winter 2006/07 season. They are now operateing as follows. Twice weekly Tuesday and Fridays. While in December a 3rd weekly flight will operate on a Sundays for 3 weeks over the Christmas period.

Flight times as follows

Leeds/Bradford – Tenerife South
-2–5-7 19:15-23:40 LS223
Tenerife South – Leeds/Bradford
-2–5-7 13:45-18:30 LS224

Look out cause there’s a lot more to come still yet. Even More caneries flights to the other Islands. Including Las Palmas and mybe Arrecife. By the way Manchester will not be getting a Tenerife flight. As Airlines have this route alraedy covered two much.

Well I manage to down load two models off the brand new Posky Boeing 737-800’s Last Night from Avsim.

Heres my first flight in the KLM old colours B737 flying from Leeds/Bradford to Rotterdam this afternoon.

Parked on gate 7 at LBA

Being towed back by push back truck.

After departure from LBA’s runway 32. Over Head the airport.

Right hand turn towards Goles from Upton VOR.

Climbing into the cruise heading for the North Sea.

In the cruise just past Humberside and the East Coast.

Just about lined up for finals for runway 06 at Rotterdam

Nearly down. Final approach to runway 06 at Rotterdam

Leeds/Bradford Airport charter based units are as follows for summer 2006.

1 X B737-700NG = Astreaus
1 X B767-200 = Thomsonfly (From May 1 st till July 29th)
1 X B757-200 = Thomsonfly (From July 29th till October 31st)

Thats it comfirmed so far.

Well I’ve just flow a short Shuttle sector from London Gatwick up to Edinburgh in a British Airways Boeing 737. Yes I know the Model by Kittyhawk is a Boeing 737-800 which BA don’t currently have. We can only but dream.

Hi

Your in for a culture shook when you arrive in banjul. (Thats if the new terminal buliding is’nt open yet.) Because when a mate of my went he showed me pictures off passengers picking there luggage up from a 50 year old Van. Not the normal way and the coach to the hotel have no air conditioning. The buses are about 20/30 years old.

On the way home it got even better. When you check-in you have to put your luggage onto the back of the Baggage truck. Then open it up because they are no X-Ray machines. (So don’t put any pad looks on your bags) Then the departure lounge is more like a cattle shed. Your outside with only a tin roof covering you. Good for the spotter though. Get stood on the brick-wall in this cattle shed and you can watch an approaching aircraft from about 15 mile out.

By the way there is not duty free shops or anything like that. Only Gambian solders watching you with rifles all the time.

Anyway I hope you have a good holiday mate. It’s bloody good down there. As I have been told.

PS. Watch out for the Black-outs. Power goes off at least 2/3 times a day. Also don’t wonder off the Hotel complex without one of the local tour guides. As you’ll get people coming up to you asking for Money and or even trying to mug you ok.
