No wonder EZY aren't doing well at Newcastle.
Which brainbox thought of ending the TFS flight right before Easter (When every man and his dog are looking to head to Tenerife). Looks like a Wonga loan and some Jet2 tickets instead for us...

TFS is a winter destination only and the summer timetable kicks in just before Easter and therefore it is not available unfortunately. Whilst you're right in what you say everyone wants to go to TFS, but they also want to go to other places just as much.
I'm a little out of touch with what happens in NCL but I would imagine PMI will be back, GVA is staying year round, NCE and JER will be starting back up soon too as well as (I think) increased frequencies which is what the aircraft will be working.

From what I can see it is still three. Completely unscientific I know but looking at 18/01/16 there is a 0630 to Geneva, a 0700 to Belfast and a 0700 to Bristol. On some days there may be just two flying but that is in line with previous years and many bases will have up to half of the based fleet on the ground, particularly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

NORWICH - NEWCASTLE
To be operated at a twice daily (weekdays) frequency by Links Air, commencing 1/09/16 is the only application under the Regional Air Connectivity fund involving NCL to go through to shortlisting, which will take place in May 2015. There are 19 routes in all involving smaller airports on the current list.
Other routes involving N.E. airports are:-
DTV - Belfast, operated by Links Air at twice daily(weekdays) planned to start 01/09/15
Carlisle - Belfast
Carlisle - Dublin
Carlisle - Southend all by Stobart Air....Daily commencing 01/04/16

Interesting! Could be good although tickets will be expensive I bet, and oil is declining but I wish them the best of luck. I assume/hope 01/09/16 is a typo and the route actually begins on 01/09/15 with the MME-BFS route.
I think all of those routes are very ambitious, hopefully the air connectivity fund will help but I'm very dubious. NCL-NWI and CAX-DUB (only with transatlantic connections) have a chance but the others will be hard work or very marginal IMHO. Links Air have obviously seen an opportunity though and I hope it pays off
Is Norwich all we're getting do you think?

This is an application to the Regional Air Connectivity fund - short listing will be in May with a final decision in July. The announcement on GOV.UK definitely says 2016, so shouldn't be a mistake. NWI is the only route listed for NCL.

It seems BMI Have downgraded their single based aircraft which is used to operate the NCL-BRU route from a E145 to a E135, the Brussels Airlines website also confirms this.
EK77WNCL Norwich should be a good route I have recently told the staff at DTVA to go for it as you have a rich market for the oil and gas industry. And Norwich is probably just as hard as Aberdeen to get to from our region by road.

This appears to be 3 daily on Weds and Thurs only from June, possibly earlier. Also as mentioned in an earlier post a smaller aircraft.
Easyjet winter to BRS. Seems to be 3 afternoon flights on some days instead of the 2 this winter. Still none in the morning though on these days. Cant understand the logic. Whats happened to a morning and an evening flight as in the past, it worked well. No wonder the no of passengers on this route is falling.
