ncleflights - that press release is a standard one and I wouldn't read too much into it beyond Flybe not planning to leave NCL anytime soon. Easy and free publicity for them in the North East press if the newspapers up there pick up on it
Jet 2 wont be having high utilisation rates then this summer. And I would imagine NCL management wont be that thrilled about this when stands are at a premium but one of them is being taken up by a B757 operating 1 or at most 2 flights a day to Spain
