ILS calibration today?
Saw a Beechcraft aircraft in the circuit for 25 today, was navy blue so I'm assuming it was a Flight Precision craft. Could anyone confirm this/what it was doing?

There is a thread regarding NCL handling in the Flight/Ground Ops, Crewing and Dispatch forum. Numerous posts have been moved to it.

Car Park Conspiracy
Sorry it's time for my annual Car Park rant..................
Is it me or has anyone else noticed that all the perfectly useable car parks that are NEAR to the airport terminal are all closed ,forcing everyone to use the ones that back onto Ponteland??!!
I suppose this encourages everone to use the busses which justifies their existance!!
Whatever the reply, lets try and avoid mentioning Airport Management before this thread gets closed by the Mr Mods too!!

According to the Chronicle
"They include the addition of three brand new routes to the Greek Islands of Kefalonia and mainland resorts of Santorini and Skiathos, where hit movie Mamma Mia was set."

The chronicle article states that a third 757-200 will be based at the airport and will be relocated from Canada. The destinations quoted above maybe new to TCX but are not new to NCL. Good news anyway and more holidays available as the aircraft has a full 7 programme.

According to the Maltese government, Easyjet has confirmed its interest to operate a twice-weekly flight from Newcastle to MLA.

First edition of the summer timetable generally becomes available on the website around now, but I suspect lots of changes therefore could be a while. The winter one was never updated!!
Does anyone know when the new TCX flights will go on sale?

At least I won't have to trek to MAN to go to Santorini and Skiathos this coming summer. I think TC had a good share of the XL flights last summer, so they should be able to fill them this summer.

Excellant news about a 3rd based TCX. However I always remember previous operators getting big slot delays down in to the smaller airfields of the greek Isles.
Fingers crossed for EZY expansion - its about time. Hopefully more route development in the near future.
Good luck 10 DME

If you scan through the TCX programme, it is indeed fairly busy, using the 3 aircraft most of the time - with little down time. Some of the smaller greek islands do suffer from ATC delays, but I'd say no more than anywhere else. I always thought JSI couldn't accept a 75, learned something new there, but does anyone know if it is returning via another airport?
Anyone have an idea of the schedule on a monday for all 3 aircraft - appears to be a gap?!
I do think, EZY may be very gradual in introducing additional routes, MLA though I am not convinced on. Air Malta operate a service, some seats sold as scheduled and some sold onto tour operators and still the flight is rarely full. NCL has been crying out for a low cost service to Cyprus - could that be possible with EZY?

Chaps,
I'd like to take my young nephew away for the day as he loves flying but can anyone tell me of any day return flights from Newcastle to foreign climes where you can get a few hours in at the destination city before flying back?
Many thanks.
