Should Globespan commence operations from NCL, particularly long haul it would be great for NCL, but what would their plans for shorthaul services be? Surley the market for loco services at NCL is now pretty much saturated with easy, jet2,ryanair etc. Unless of course they plan on flying to destinations not presently served like eastern europe? NCL does desparately need more long haul, geordie passengers are starting to get slightly more adventurous and I'm sure US/Caribbean destinations would go down a treat!

I see flyjet are planning to operate 5 flights per week during the winter? Again great news, particularly on the jobs front, lets hope they create a good reputation for themselves at NCL. While 5 flights per week is not a great deal, they could however pick up more, with ski flights and sub charters etc. Its a shame XL have not yet realised the potential of actually operating their flights all year round with their own aircraft.
