Treviso is well out of town, with very little activity. 1x Daily SAAB340 of Carpetair and around a half a dozen daily RYR flights account for the sum total of traffic. Mil traffic was few and far between on my last visit. A good VCE gateway on the lo-co scale, but not for the spotter.

Not heard anything official yet… and the Ops guys still answer under the Channex name!

14 departures have no obsticle issues, however 32 does with the chevin. Everyone moans and groans about Ruwnway length, however the single engine climb profile off 32 is the major factor, not the Rwy length as such.

Preston North End to play Plymouth (later Postponed!)

If it’s not airworthy then why would it be registered?

If it’s not airworthy and not registered you cannot rob the spares from it.

Some airlines park up aircraft from service, then rob them of useful spares to support the remainder of the fleet, but to do this and keep track of the parts they must remain registered, albiet not nessecerily as airworthy (for insurance purposes).

This is particularly done by companies operating older generation aircraft where spares sometimes have to be manifactured individually as their production has ceised.

Hope the above makes sense to you!

This doesn’t include the major freight carriers – UPS and FEDEX both have large fleets – much larger than SAS I’d say!

Can anyone that lives near LBA help me…?

Was Jet2 the first low-cost airline to commence operations out of LBA :confused: , and if so when.

Can you also provide brief details of aircraft fleet and routes flown… 😉

Thanks in advance as always…

Ryanair’s NOC service was the first I believe. DUB commenced around 1996 I think.
