Excellent news for NCL and its long term developement. Maybe now, should EK suceed, long haul destinations could become a reality at NCL. Also very good for pax and ease of flying worldwide via a user friendly transit point. My only concern is that there a quite alot of seats to fill, therefore EK as the airline need to heavily advertise and alert travel agents and worldwide tour operators, such as Kuoni to the service!
Will be nice to see some long haul aircraft parked at NCL, as only EK and MON are left! As EK's premium service is highly regarded, does this mean we will see limo service and a new executive lounge at NCL? And I am guessing but plans will have been put in place for dedicated checkin facilities, particularly for premium pax?
On a different note, does anyone know what XL Airways plans are for the coming summer? Is it 2 737-800 a/c of Canadian or British reg or another aircraft from another carrier, Finnair, Air malta? Also looks as though XL will remain for next winter also, replacing current FJE flights (thought they were going to be at NCL for 3 years?).
Is TOM's 737 an 800 or back to 300 for summer?
