I thought after speaking to the chap from Jet2 that San Fransisco was a little ambitious, although he did state it was a strong possibility. The Bangor fuel stop - very often done in years gone by, but would it be cost effective for todays cost conscious airlines.
Nothing mentioned on seat configurations for the ETOP's 752's, although he even mooted the idea of a 762 in future.
There is no doubt Sharm "SSH"
is THE place for your airline to go. Watched the popularity increase hugely over recent years.
I think whatever Jet2, Globespan or even EasyJet are planning, it all bodes well for the future of Newcastle.
