NOTES & ABBREVIATIONS 

eg 27/1115 shows the aircraft stayed overnight, departing on the date and time shown.

f&t = from and to. Where the point of origin and destination are different, both locations are named.

All times are quoted as ‘local’ time, and take account of the change from BST to UTC early Sunday 26th October.

G/A refers to an aircraft that did not land, performing a go-around only, but did not touch down.

The registrations of aircraft operating on call-signs, especially RAF aircraft on Go-Around are not always 100% accurate.  Where a code and direction of Go-Around are given, this means that the registration was confirmed by Mk.1 eyeball (well, usually a digital image!).

Where an aircraft operated on call-signs, this is noted by official 2 or 3-letter abbreviation. If there is no call-sign, then the aircraft operated using the registration.  Where there is just one call-sign, the same flight number was used in- and out-bound.

The source material does not name non-registered airfield sites, these are covered by the blanket term ‘private site’. Nor does it identify diverted flights, or the reason for diversion, however these can usually be worked out from other sources.  WX = 'Weather out'

Some types may not be name and mark accurate, although I have tried harder this month to get them correct.

LJLA – ACTIVITY & VISITING AIRCRAFT
AN OVERVIEW FOR OCTOBER 2014

AIRPORT AND AIRLINE DEVELOPMENTS

LJLA REPRESENTED AT ROUTES 2014

A team from Airport Management attended the ‘Routes 2014’ meeting in Chicago during October. Hopefully many useful contacts were made, and we will see in the coming months news of new airlines and destinations announced, but it is a tough market place at present. Top management attendance at ‘Routes’ is an essential part of getting airports and airlines into direct dialogue with each other over market opportunities, so we can always hope!

BLUE AIR

In addition to their Bucharest route to start on 15th December, Blue Air have announced a second route, this one from Bacau to start 29th March 2015 arriving shortly before midnight on Tuesday and Saturday nights, with departures very early on Wednesday and Sunday mornings. Great news for the airport that an operator which has not commenced its first route has already added a second. Wizzair seem to make evening arrival/departures work from LJLA to Eastern Europe, hopefully Blue Air will find a market too – first indications are that advance bookings for Bucharest are going well.

WINTER SCHEDULES

Winter schedules commenced from the morning of Sunday 26th October, which also marked the end of British Summer Time, bringing GMT/UTC and ‘local’ time into line.

SCHEDULED SERVICE AIRCRAFT

EASYJET (U2/EZY)

As with last month, for EasyJet and Ryanair I’m going to simply list all the aircraft used on scheduled flights through Liverpool during the month, but make no attempt to list those ‘based’ overnight at LJLA.

A.319s: G-EJAR, EZAD, EZAG, EZAI, EZAK, EZAW, EZAY, EZBC, EZBL, EZBO, EZDE, EZDK, EZDO, EZDZ, EZEB, EZEZ, EZFB, EZFE, EZFI, EZFJ, EZFN, EZFU, EZFX, EZGA, EZGB, EZGD, EZGN, EZIP, EZIX, EZIY (plus G-EZAM & G-EZBH on training flights only),
A.320s: G-EZUA, EZUT, EZUV, EZWK, EZWM,EZWS. (Which should make 37 different aircraft)

EasyJet again suffered several days of disruption due to ‘tech’ aircraft, although all services were covered. On 3rd G-EZDZ arrived from Luton as EZY9013 at 2337, operated a Belfast rotation late, then returned to Luton as EZY9002 at 0241 early on the 4th.

On the evening of 5th G-EZIX which had left LJLA at 1913 on EZY7011 for Amsterdam, developed a fault, so the return leg EZY7012 was operated by Amsterdam based G-EZEB arriving at 2359, and then returned to Amsterdam with the first rotation departures on 6th at 0632 EZY7001. Earlier G-EZDE had left LJLA positioning to Amsterdam as EZY9007 at 0613 to collect the AMS-LPL first rotation passengers as EZY7002 arriving Liverpool 0944. AS this left LJLA base an aircraft short, G-EZEZ arrived from Southend as EZY9007 at 0726 and operated rotations to IoM and Belfast before return to Southend at EZY9008 at 1248. G-EZIX, now fixed, arrived back from Amsterdam as EZY9002 at 1502 on the 6th. I wonder if the passengers that day had any inkling of the behind the scenes movement of aircraft and crews to get everyone to their destination with the minimum of delay?

At the end of the month, on 26th there was a further need to position an aircraft from Southend, with G-EZAY arriving as EZY9006 at 0713 and operated Liverpool schedules, with G-EZBL departing to Southend as EZY9011 at 1321. The two aircraft swopped back while on scheduled flights a day or so later.

Training positioning flights and circuit work are covered in the appropriate section.

RYANAIR (FR/RYR)

During October Ryanair based overnight, or on non-based flights used 87 different aircraft during October. All aircraft were from their mainline fleet, with most summer leased-in aircraft now returned. One EI-FEG was a brand new delivery into Dublin on its first commercial service, morning of Friday 17th. As the winter deliveries have commenced from Boeing, no doubt we will have to watch for more new aircraft as the winter progresses.

Aircraft seen on scheduled services at Liverpool during October were:
Boeing 737-800s: EI-DAF, DAH, DAO, DCL, DCM, DCW, DCY, DHE, DHF, DHG, DHO, DHS, DLB, DLD, DLE, DLF, DLG, DLJ, DLK, DLV, DLX, DLY, DPA, DPC, DPD, DPF, DPI, DPJ, DPK, DPO, DWD, DWG, DWL, DWW, DWY, DWZ, DYB, DYC, DYD, DYE, DYI, DYN, DYP, DYR, DYV. EI-EBE, EBI, EBK, EBP, EBS, EBV, EFG, EFH, EFL, EFP, EFR, EGA, EGC, EKA, EKJ, EKO, EKX, EMA, EMB, EMD, EMJ, EMO, EMP, ENF, ENH, ENI, ENL, ENO, ENV, ENW, EPB, EPC, EPE, EPH, ESL, ESN, ESR, EVG, EVK, EVL, EVS, FEG.

Just two positioning flights noted during October. On 11th EI-ENF arrived from EMA as FR12P at 1134, then operated to and from Warsaw before returning to EMA as FR15P at 1759 to cover for an aircraft ‘tech’.

FLYBE (BE/BEE)

All the IoM-LJLA flights during October were operated by leased-in ATR-72 aircraft rather than their own Dash 8-Q400s. OY-RUG, first used on Sunday 28th September continued into October, until the morning rotation on Wednesday 8th. The two evening rotations were operated by the mainly white LY-MCA, which continued to operate regularly until the morning rotation of Saturday 25th. For the two afternoon/evening rotations on Sunday 26th the aircraft was changed to Stobart Air’s EI-REI also mostly white, but with green engines and Aer Lingus Commuter titles. The use of EI-REI continued until beyond the end of the month. On Thurs 31st the morning rotation was delayed by weather at Ronaldsway, so operated late through Liverpool, but with no cancellations.

ATR-72s: EI-REI, LY-MCA & OY-RUG, all leased-in by Flybe to cover for aircraft/crew shortfall.

WIZZAIR (W6/WZZ)

Wizzair’s twice weekly service from Warsaw, and thrice weekly from Gdansk, brought in 13 different aircraft during the month, including a first visit by wingleted HA-LYF on the evening of Wednesday 1st. Aircraft used into LJLA during the month: HA-LPN, LPO, LPR, LPT, LWA, LWB, LWD, LWE, LWF, LYA, LYD, LYF & LYH, all A.320s.

AIRCRAFT USING LJLA DURING OCTOBER

More details can often be found in the visiting aircraft log which cross references to the details summarised here.

RESIDENT AIRCRAFT ACTIVITY AND CHANGES

Two residents departed during October. Most notable loss was the departure of Tiger Moth G-AMCK to a new owner at Gamston, departing 1210 on Friday 10th October. The delivery pilot, presumably the new owner, arriving earlier on Gamston based Cessna Mustang G-RNER. G-AMCK arrived 14th August 2008 and regularly flew with Martin Keen from Liverpool and Barton on bi-plane air experience flights. Since sale July 2013 to Stamp Aviation It has flown less frequently, although remained Liverpool based, but now has new owners.

The other departure is the return to Sleap by Mooney G-BIWR which arrived 4th August into the care of Keenair, departing on Wednesday 15th at 1131. Arriving into the care of Keenair maintenance on Thursday 30th was Tomahawk G-BRLP at 1504 all the way from Inverness.

Over with Helicentre, the comings and goings continue. The Robinson R.44 G-CJLL continues to operate regularly from Liverpool, however was away for two, one periods during October, quite likely at Caernarfon. Barton based G-CEKA called and operated from Liverpool on a number of days during October, but rarely stayed overnight. Other helicopters included in the main visitors log that had training connections with Helicentre were Schweizer 269 G-CEBE on Wed 22nd, Robinson R.44s G-CCYG 1st into 2nd and G-CFNF on Tues 28th along with Squirrel G-LARR between 15th and 23rd.

With the closure of Blackpool Airport to commercial operations from Wed 15th a couple of aircraft have moved across to Liverpool. Until the position becomes clearer with time, the Blackpool refugees are currently being considered only as temporarily resident at LJLA by us. They are Cirrus G-OGGM, Bell 429 M-YMCM, Phenom M-YTOY, Premiers G-IOMC and G-OOMC – all have been active since arrival and spend time away as well as hangared here. Two further helicopters, Squirrel G-LARR and Bond’s Dauphin G-REDH temporarily relocated to LJLA on 15th, but both have moved on since.

CHARTERS, TOURS & FREIGHT OPERATIONS

European football competitions brought in a number of aircraft with teams and supporters. On the last day of September LFC left for Basle on Titan Boeing 757-200 G-ZAPX. They were followed on the morning of Wed 1st by supporters on a Jet 2 Boeing 757-200 G-LSAN – both aircraft returning in the early hours of Thurs 2nd. A little later on Wed 1st EFC had departed for Krasnodar on Titan Boeing 757-200 G-POWH, returning early hours of Fri 3rd. No supporters accompanied Everton for this very distant match. Next round of European games brought Real Madrid to Liverpool, with the team arriving on Iberia A.321 EC-JQZ on Tues 21st, supporters on two Swift Air MD.83s EC-KCX and EC-JUG on Wed 22nd, all 3 departing in the very early hours of Thurs 23rd. Also for this game Scandinavian LFC supporters arrived for a City break and match break on Jettime Boeing 737-300 OY-JTC from Oslo on Tues 21st leaving early afternoon Thurs 23rd. Meanwhile EFC team left for their game in Lille on Titan Boeing 757-200 G-POWH morning of Wed 22nd, with supporters following on Thursday morning 23rd on Thomas Cook Boeing 757-200 G-FCLK – both aircraft returning very late on the Thursday evening.

Football was not the only sport with European competition games. Catalan Dragons used Carpatair Fokker 100 YR-FKA as their transport for a key Super League Cup semi-final at St Helens. The aircraft was at LJLA Wed 1st until the early hours of Friday 3rd.

Meanwhile for domestic Premiership football matches teams were also carried by air. On the evening of Sunday 19th, LFC arrived from Heathrow on Cello’s BAe.146-200 G-RAJJ following an away match against QPR. Right at the end of the month Swansea arrived in Liverpool on BM Regional EMB-145 G-RJXH on Mon 27th, departing very early hours of Wed 29th after their Anfield Capital Cup game. A few days later on Friday 31st Swansea returned to Liverpool for a Premiership game at Goodison, this time on BM Regional G-RJXD, departing home during the evening of Sat 1st November. The same weekend, LFC travelled to Newcastle on Fri 31st on Cello’s BAe.146-200 G-RAJJ again, returning on Saturday evening 1st November.

Finally another weekend city break with football match (LFC v Hull FC) brought in Eurolot Dash 8-Q400 SP-EQA from & to Stavanger, arriving on Friday 24th and staying until Sunday 26th early evening.

Two BinAir Metroliners presumably transported freight, with D-CPSW on Wed 1st and D-CSAL on Wed 29th.

DIVERSIONS – GAINS & LOSSES

Not too much poor weather around, however gusty southerly gales on Tuesday 21st provided very difficult conditions for landing pilots. Around lunch-time after two go-arounds an inbound Ryanair flight from Carcassone diverted to Manchester, returning to LJLA at near 4pm. Meanwhile a winglet fitted A.321 of Monarch inbound to Manchester from Faro, diverted to LJLA just before 3pm and remained on the ground at Liverpool for around one and a half hours until conditions ameliorated at Manchester. It would appear that winglet fitted aircraft are more susceptible to gusty cross-winds and windshear than ‘normal’ wing-tips. So one lost and one gained.

Morning fog at Isle of Man on the morning of Thursday 30th caused the morning easyJet rotation G-EZBL to divert back and operate again a few hours later, while the Flybe ATR-72 morning was also delayed, however all 3 rotations operated. Earlier in the month the early morning supply flight on Monday 6th to IoM from EMA landed at Liverpool, a Cessna 310 G-EGLT, then returned to EMA – presumed due to morning fog at Ronaldsway. Two hours later the morning Flybe rotation operated normally.

TRAINING

It is a considerable time since this heading appeared, but what a month with both Virgin and EasyJet involved.
The appearance at LJLA of Virgin’s brand new Boeing 787-9 G-VNEW on Saturday 11th caused quite a stir amongst enthusiasts. It had only been delivered to Gatwick the day before, and arrived at LJLA later than expected from Gatwick via East Midlands and Prestwick at 1654 as VS862T, leaving 34 minutes later for Edinburgh as VS863T, using 27. With the same route and flight numbers it returned on Tuesday 14th, landing 09 this time at 1124, departing 39 minutes later, while on Wednesday 15th the third visit arrived at 1224 again on 09, departing 31 minutes later. Although further visits had been anticipated, the Training Captain decided to restrict further route proving/training flights to airports with longer runways, removing LJLA and Cardiff from operations. It was however quite something to see the Boeing 787-9 at Liverpool. This is the second time that Virgin have brought a new aircraft type (for them) to Liverpool for route proving training, the first being their A.330 G-VSXY in 2011. Would be nice to think they will consider Liverpool when they get their A.380s in 2018 – somehow I doubt it … would make quite a magnificent sight though!

EasyJet now appear to be using real aircraft alongside simulators for qualifying and checking pilots. G-EZAM arrived on Tues 30th Sept and trained that evening and flew circuits on Wednesday 1st before returning to Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) as EZY9095. A week later G-EZAD arrived from Prestwick on Tues 7th at 1914 after training there as EZY9094, night stopped then back to Prestwick at 0944 on 8th EZY9093. Later, now as EZY9094 returned to LJLA 1555 on completion of the training detail. However the following morning G-EZAD joined LJLA base operating scheduled flights, with G-EZAK as EZY9091 departing for DSA at 0843. On Wed 14th G-EZAK reappeared as EZY9093 from Gatwick at 1036 on Tues 14th for circuits, returning there as EZ9093 at 1352 on 15th after more circuits during the morning. Two weeks later G-EZBH appeared on Tues 28th from DSA as EZY9091 at 1853, night stopped and as EZY9090 returned to DSA at 0922 29th, with no circuits operated at LJLA on this occasion.

BIZ-JET VISITORS

A good month here too. 38 different biz-jets called, some more than once. Of these 21 were various marks of Citations and no less than 6 different Lear Jets – substantially more Lears than any previous month this year. The larger biz-jets included Falcon 7X N85DN on Sat 18th from Birmingham with the owner of Aston Villa FC to watch them at Goodison. After the game he departed direct for Bangor, Maine USA. N85DN has been to Liverpool before, but attached to a different airframe! A Spanish Global Express BD700 arrived evening of Wed 29th from Teterboro, NJ, via Montreal/Dorval , EC-LTF leaving for Valladolid late afternoon the next day. Challengers were D-AFAC all white, on Wed 8th, likely as an air ambulance and regular G-SJSS on Tues 14th, staying overnight. There were two Cessna 680 Sovereigns PH-CTR Thurs 16th and OK-UGJ on Fri 24th, this one operated by airline Travel Service (QS).

The 6 Lear Jets mentioned were German Lear Jet 31 D-CGGG Thurs 2nd, Lear 55 D-CAAE on Thurs 16th and 23rd and Lear 35 D-CGRC on Wed 29th; with British air ambulance Lear 35 G-ZMED on Fri 2nd and Lear 45 G-XJET on Sunday 26th. Finally for this paragraph Canadian Lear Jet 35A C-GIWO on Thursday 9th, departing the next day.

Of the Citations, the majority were Mustangs, most having been to LJLA more than once during the year of French, Austrian, Italian and British registry. Three were German registered CitationJets, three older Cessna 550s and two Citation 560XLs.

To close this section a first visit of variant to record, with the visit of Legacy 500 demonstrator PT-ZHY from Oxford to Glasgow during the morning. Somehow BAe.125s are not that frequent, however on Wed 29th HB-VKW called, with Hawker 400s OK-ESC on sat 4th and G-KLNR on Sun 19th and Thurs 30th. Which leaves just brief mention of regulars, Blackpool based Phenom 100 M-YTOY and Premiers G-IOMC and G-OOMC. I state Blackpool based, as since the airport’s closure to commercial operations on 15th, the two Premiers have spent time hangared at LJLA with Ravenair’s Liverpool Aviation Centre and operating from here, usually one at a time.

GENERAL AVIATION

Non-British GA twins were few and far between during October, with just two Cessna 414s OK-PRA on Thurs 2nd and Jersey based N569JM on Monday 6th. Navajo N250AC was once a Liverpool resident, however since moving to a strip in North Cheshire it has not visited often, however on Thurs 2nd it called, routing through from Coventry to the Isle of Man.

Non-British singles were more numerous and varied than the twins in October. PC-12s should be numerous, however there were two in October with OY-NBS Fri 3rd until Sun 5th and N234RG on Sat 25th, while Malibu N915C on Wed 22nd, does seem to visit on LFC match days. Cessna P210N Centurian called on Tuesday 7th and Cessna 182S N2445V visited between Tue 14 and 17th. Two Bonanzas were N78DU on Wed 1st, departing 3rd and D-EWUI on Tues 7th.

British twins were varied , although King Airs once again dominate with 6 different examples, with G-FSEU Sat 18th, G-IASA Wed 29th and G-JASS Wed 29th and Thurs 30th being not particularly common. Flight Checker G-FPLD was around Wed 22nd for a few days. Piper products were all regulars, Aztec G-CALL Sun 5th, Seneca G-OOON Mon 13th for a few days, and Navajos G-BFIB Sat 18th with its chin camera and Woodgate's air ambulance G-JAJK, plus Capital Avn's G-VIPU on the IoM hospitals contract all month – with ‘States of Guernsey’ titles. Twin Stars are not frequent, so G-ZDEA on Wed 15th was the sole example.

Cirrus G-YZZT called again on Fri 10th, otherwise British GA singles were mostly Piper products, with G-CHAS departing 2nd, G-CDMX on Tues 14th and Woodvale based G-BTFO on Mon 27th all Cherokees and Cherokee Arrow G-BXYO on Sat 11th.

Some visiting helicopters have already been covered in the Helicentre section earlier. Larger helicopters included two Dauphins G-REDH of Bond from Blackpool on the day the Airport there closed for commercial traffic. Bond ‘DH was at Liverpool Wed 15th until Sat 18th in the LAS hangar in order for routine maintenance to be undertaken indoors while the operating situation at Blackpool was clarified. The other, Dauphin EI-GJL called again on Sat 18th, while another of the larger GA helicopter types, the Sikorsky S-76 was represented by G-PACO on Fri 17th and Fri 31st. A change from the usual Police EC.135s was Bk.117 G-MPSC on Thu 9th stopping for a few hours. Eurocopters included EC.120s G-HVRZ Wed 1st overnight and G-SENS Mon 13th, while ‘bread and butter’ Squirrels were G-DCAM Thursdays 2nd and 30th, G-OGUN Mon 13th, G-BPRI Sun 19th and G-WENA Fri 24th, along with G-LARR already detailed in the Helicentre paragraph.

MILITARY ACTIVITY

A somewhat short section this month, with just record of ‘Rescue 122’ Sea King HAR.3 XZ599 in the early hours of Wed 1st and Islanders ZG998 on Tues 7th and ZG997 on Thurs 8th – both registrations confirmed photographically.

GO-AROUND ACTIVITY

Nothing exceptional, indeed a somewhat slow month, although there were as usual a number of Hawks from RAF Valley. Hercules aircraft used the ILS, with ZH867 on 4th and ZH886 on 16th, while the sole King Air 200 was ZK458 on 31st. Helicopters were the famous Chinook ZA718/BN on 6th and a Merlin on 13th. Sole fast jet was a Tornado ZA585/054 right at the end of the month on 30th, with no Typhoons again, unfortunately.

STATISTICS

Here for information, are an abstract from the many figures published monthly on the net by the CAA. Proper place for discussion/comments would be on the Forum’s ‘Liverpool Developments’ section, where I will also post these figures. The figures for September are provisional and could be amended slightly next month. The annual ‘rolling’ figure for September placed LJLA at 13th busiest airport in the UK, a drop of several places over a few years ago, which highlights the need for new routes and an increase in the number of based aircraft operating from LJLA.

The annual total for 2013 was 4,185,757 and placed LJLA 12th in the UK Airport ranking by total passenger numbers. To put the loss figures of around 30,000 passengers for each of the main summer months, this equates to the loss of a single overnight based aircraft during summer ’14. The maths runs along the lines of: 30,000 pax lost per month, at average of 150 pax per flight = 200 flights lost; so 30 days at an average of 7 sectors per day is 210 flights, or the programme for one busy near full aircraft. I think the industry ‘rule of thumb’ for a loco carrier is 250,000 pax per aircraft per year. So an extra aircraft each from Ryanair and EasyJet next summer and the totals would start to look encouraging – the indications at present though are that this is highly unlikely.

EPILOGUE

It is not every month that we get not one, but three visits by a new major airliner type, so the Virgin Boeing 787-9 visits could rank as the annual highlight, never mind for the month of October. We also had the first visit of the Legacy 500 variant of the Brazilian biz-jet family. Otherwise a busy month. Perhaps 7 different Lear Jets is of note, while larger biz-jets featured a Falcon 7X and a Global Express. Charters involving Bulgarian Air Charter, Iberia, Jettime, Swift, Carpatair, Eurolot, Thomas Cook, Cello, Jet 2, Titan and BM Regional added to the variety and interest.
