Well if the rumours that are going round the airport, yesterday are true, it looks like flyjet have given up their operation at NCL and handed it back to XLA. A finnair plane is replacing the FJE one, but nothing has been mentioned of what is going to happen in the winter or what will come of flyjets newly recruited staff.

The wed SSH flight could well replace the sun one, with the a/c operating the old SCY LCA rotation in place of AJet/Helios.

How about the next few years at NCL, new routes etc. Theres still plenty of scope for expansion, heres a few thoughts...

- Winter loco services to SZG, INN, CMF, GNB
- Loco services to VCE, NAP, WAW, KRK
- The long awaited NYC route
- New domestic services to NWI, NQY
- Expanded frequencies on scheduled services to DUS, CPH
- New routes to FRA, either LH or FR to HHN
- The long rumoured BE services to mainland Europe
- More charters to the likes of EFL, JSI, SKG and new charters to Italy, Croatia, North Africa, Eygpt and long haul to the Caribbean.

Established airlines at NCL are ideally placed to expand, with Jet2, FR, EZY the more likely together with other european loco carriers like Wizz, Skyeurope etc

Together the charter carriers willexpand, though there is slack in the FJE schedule, should their operation continue to offer more flights and XLA always seem to offer a diverse operation and TOM are adding more a/c and routes each new season.
