With NCL being the 5th busiest charter airport in the UK you'll probably find the topic comes up rather frequently, and since it plays a big part in the end result it's no great surprise. Airlines and types of aircraft (be it old or new, 727 or 777) will also be discussed because thats what were interested in and why we visit the forum. NCL v BRS - i think it's more for comparison and prediction than competition.
On the routes front, i think AA did a good job of scaring off any potential operator to NY for the time being. I'm not so sure Eastern Europe would work to well from NCL, can't figure out who would use it on any sort of a regular basis. RIX, TLL, ANU, BGI, SLU years and years away, if ever. The only bit of optimism coming from me is the thought that RYR could be persuaded to pick up a French route or two.
