I mean it's not an immediate catastrophe because we still have LS and TOM operating (although with smaller aircraft to 2/3 years ago) and TCX's stronger area tends to be Turkey and Greece, and probably on par with TOM with Egypt and Tunisia. Fuerteventura seemed to belong to TCX too until LS came along.
Faro and Malta also appear on the list for TCX too, I think they were dropped the last year or two as well. Are these left over from their burst of expansion in 2012?
I also did some numbers to work out if A/C decreases from TOM/TCX and LS were really making a difference... By God they are, would anyone like me to share, I can make them a bit more readable if you wish?

Looks like all of the New York talk was justified. Good news for the North.

It’s the route you have asked for more than any other and we have delivered it. You’ll soon be able to fly direct from Your Airport to none other than New York!
We’re delighted to be able to reveal to you that today United Airlines have announced a seasonal service, for next summer, from Newcastle direct to New York’s Newark Liberty International Airport. Flights will leave Newcastle five times a week between Saturday 23 May and Monday 7 September 2015 and be flown using a Boeing 757 aircraft.

I wish them all the best in making it work, and i hope it does. Although, we have been here before... (albeit a little different)
please dont turn this into a 'Well i said they would.... I told you so.... i know all....' debate. Appreciate this new route.

Well I for one didn't think it would happen. I'm pleased it has. I'm sure the spotters will love it too.
Maybe as more of their 787s come online they will cover either the thin routes, or those which the 757 is used on to provide greater frequency. It could be that there are 757s coming free and that could be what is is being used.
Although I am not a fan of United, I can see why NCL would work for them as feed into their network isn't great at NCL with Star alliance partners, meaning UA are usually the most expensive by far from the NE now that there is no BMI to feed into them at LHR. American and Delta are already served through LHR or AMS/CDG respectively, so UA would make sense. Given that it is non stop, so long as the fares are competitive then I'll be trying this out for sure.

Didn't see this coming in a million years, hats off to those who made it happen. 5 x 757s a week to fill is a big ask in my opinion, but the people on the know must be confident enough.

Great news, well done Newcastle Airport. Lets hope the up take is good and UAL edge out the dates over the years until its year round. I will be looking at some dates for me and Mrs 10D next June then.

Excellent news for NCL, certainly did not see that coming. Hopefully it'll be priced right for the market and will be a success.
I can see the thread descending into a 'I told you so' discussion but let's be honest, I think everyone is surprised by this. Even those who dreamed of it didn't think deep down it would actually happen so let's just appreciate that it has and wish it well
Atleast now the discussion will move away from continuous EK for the first time in a while!
