Thought I'd start a new thread. Heard that the USA, China and a few other countries for the Olympics are using Leeds as a training base. My question is are we going to see something coming in from America e.g. United, Delta, American, or Continental bringing these people in. I no doubt think anything from China tho. Also last question are we going to see a PIA Boeing 777 at LBIA at some point

No they'll all go Man and coach across. Wouldn't even suprise me if they did LHR and coached up there too. LBIA does not have the ability to cope with Americans Chinese and others landing more or less in the same week, while the summer programme is fully under way.
As for PIA it's coming, as and when is the question. It's upto PIA and they are not the most reliable company on this earth. They said December, Novemeber, they are now saying april.

I have heard that 2 Chinese cargo Boeing 747's are booked in to Manchester Airport. Yes I understand Leeds/Bradford Airport is on standby to asists with athletes arriving into the region and will be taking charter flights from several counties. But at this time nothing else is known so nothing has been confirmed as yet.
Out of interest we have the following teams staying in and around The Yorkshire region this summer..
China, Entire Olympic team = Leeds
Netherlands, Swim Team = Leeds
Serbia, Entire Olympic team = Leeds and Sheffield
United States, Diving team = Sheffield
Brazil, Judo team = Sheffield
Gambia, Entire Olympic team = York
Guinea-Bissau, Entire Olympic team= York
Russia, Diving Team = Leeds
Canadian, Paraolympic wheelchair rugby team - Leeds
Tanzania, Entire Olympic Team = Bradford & Leeds
Vietnam Entire Olympic Team = Bradford
