Excellent pics – don’t see many Ruskies though, only Hungarians! :rolleyes:

As the charge is technically not leved by airlines or really has much legally to do with them it would not have to feature in the T&C. It would be viewed as a contract, of sorts, between you and the airport.

I think it would be reasonable to contend that, as the airline has been contracted to transport a passenger from one airport to another, they have at the very least a duty of care to advise passengers of additional charges associated with that transportation – the airline is transporting passengers from [say] Liverpool to Geneva, not from airside at Liverpool to Geneva. Also, having paid a “security fee” as part of the total cost of said transportation and seeing as the airline is not directly involved in security, I think it would be reasonable to contend that the security fee represented the total paid fo said security, not just a part of it. I accept that a precident may have been set in some countries where there is a locally paid departure tax that is not included with ticket purchase, but I still think that if Liverpool go ahead and implement this charge someone needs to challenge the legality of it both in principal an in the context of the airline’s terms and conditions of carriage and booking conditions that we’re all invited to read as we book flights these days.

EMA is I think Cat 3A? You need a RVR of 200m.

Indeed, but is the AN22 CATIII equipped???

Andy

Their Tu154s were regular weekly visitors to Doncaster right up until October too.

They were? Surprised by that! I know BH Air TU5s were in Doncaster and a number of other airports regularly this summer, but I wasn’t aware Air VIA TU5s had been seen in the UK for some years.

Andy

Both approach and tower call it ‘east midlands’, as does practically every aircraft flying to/from the airport

That’s because the commercial/marketing name of any airport is different to the operational name published in the UK CAA AIP. The AIP maintained the callsign “East Midlands” with a specific note saying not to call “Nottingham…” due to potential confusion with Tollerton where the official callsign is “Nottingham”

they should never changed it in the first place, idiots!

The idiots are the ones who’ve changed the name back to “East Midlands…” How to move from recognisable location to anonymity again in one quick step – and I’m not talking about anonymity as far as locals are concerned, but for people from afar who won’t have a clue where the airport is, even in some cases what country its in. Still I’d expect idiocy from an organisation run by someone who used to work for Asda – “pile ’em high, sell ’em cheap” is about the only thing that seems to matter to NEMA these days.

Andy

Won’t happen… Won’t appeal to NCL Pax because EK don’t have brown ale on their inflight service 🙂

Some were Bcal and some Dan Air with them being delivered after the takovers it hard to figure out which ones which

Nope, incorrect. Dan Air never went anywhere near an A320 (or even an Airbus for that matter, except for two or three ex-Hapag Lloyd A300s). Dan Air’s short haul fleet was BAe146s and 737s, before that BAC 1-11s and 727s.

As far as British Caledonian A320s were concerned, the first (G-BRSA ntu) was painted in FULL B.Cal colours, but was re-reallocated to G-BUSB and repainted in British Airways colours prior to delivery.
