    I agree with the above comments. BLK is a bit too “tacky?” for my liking, but i find the airport easy to get to and also as mentioned above a desent alterantive to MAN, LPL and LBA. Its about the same drive time (give or take 30mins) to BLK – and to get to STN for me is the best option – £20 return with RYR or £120 with eastern – guess what i’m choosing!

    Hi mate,

    the 2 aircraft you saw were G-BEJD which is the only Series 1 HS748 flying in the world today (gonna have to get a jumpseat on that at somepoint), and G-AYIM. ‘IM’ was the one in Emerald Colours and JD has a green and redy/brown band around her.

    Hope it helps – sorry for the late reply – needed to get them off the computer!

    Can’t say much about our pax services start-up at present, although expect formal announcements to be made soon! Pax services are scheduled to operate on ATP aircraft.

    Islandsflug do not operate any cargo services from LPL, although B733QC TF-ELM operates on behalf of Channex on the BFS-LPL-BFS-EMA-BFS run, whilst pax -400s ELD/V operate usually on the morning rotation on behalf of RYR.

    So can you explain where Blackpool is not growing?

    As far as i was aware after Ryanair introduced its BLK-STN and BLK-DUB schedules twice daily BLK was starting to expand the airports pax output – just by around 400% i believe in its first year? Ok it seems to have lost FlyBE on the BHD run, but they have Keenair/FlyKeen operation BLK-IOM-BHD (or is it BFS?), and although it will generate next to nothing in terms of pax numbers traffic, BLK-IOM with BNWA.

    As said above the aircraft usually flies into Chester (Hawarden) and if it went to either MAN or LPL it would be as a divert :rolleyes:

    Plenty “big” has and does land at LPL – just not that regularly – as i’ve said above i’ve seen B747s, 767s, A330s, Tristars, DC-10s, VC-10s etc land there – oh year and the AN-124 landed there a couple of years in a row to do the Xmas shoebox airlift at Christmas!

    Thats funny i could have swore i have seen Tristars, B742, B743, DC-10, B763, VC10, Beluga, A310, A330s either with my own eyes out of the window at work (i work opposite to stand 7) or on pics in the offices – All on the ground at LPL!

    The aircraft usually flies into Hawarden in Cheshire and has diverted into both LPL and MAN before that i know of.

    great stuff – i flew ELD in Dec and ELV 3 weeks ago and to be honest they were dated but clean at the time – shame to read that. Nice pic of CNY – another of the aircraft i have flown in!!!
