Looks like one of the Boeings from NCL will be going to Belfast. several new routes to be added there( some in competition with Jet2 ) from Oct making them a 6 aircraft base.
Yes and BIG E still tries to put some spin and peddle the official EZY line that they aren't loosing interest in NCL. Looks like it to me. Loads of expansion from most UK bases this Winter except NCL where the opposite is true. Looks like they are doing an East Midlands on us, that base has been flat now for a couple of years following a similar reduction in routes/rotations a couple of years ago. Lets hope we can get Ryanair in, although doubtful, as they certainly ramped up when Easy started contracting.
The reduction in routes/rotations on the scale we have had at NCL can never be classed as consolodation, Stansted is a good example of this good route, good loads - certainly not struggling and the rotations slashed down to 3. The new timetable I suspect will actually affect this route as someone going down to London on business needs better timmings than they are offering on the new revised timetable.
On the Jet2 front have we had everything from them for this winter seems loads of gaps in the timetable for the winter services from NCL. Thought Malaga was staying for the winter?
Thanks
