without wanting to stoke up, they’re a business trying to make profit etc it seems a very tokanist move to shut NCL at this time. Crew claim they were told it was profitable, it can’t be performing any worse than everywhere else and unless the aircraft are leaving the fleet (they may be, don’t know) the saving will appear to be marginal. Except next year when the exceptional items (base closures) are shown in the accounts and makes underlying performance better than it actually was.

but this is easyJet who if I remember correctly moved ncl based aircraft to bfs at short notice to complete with a new operator there and were then
beaten into the ground by Jet2 at Ncl, they never appeared to be the dominant low cost carrier that they claimed to be....

Just my opionin, and for what it’s worth can’t see the mayor and MME ending well either (just look at how leadership at the conservative run Northumberland council is unravelling)!!
