In the height of the summer season very few charter operators, even the big ones have aircraft just sitting around waiting to step in should a delay or tech problem occur. Just look at TCX this weekend, their saturday lunchtime ALC rotation had to wait 10+ hours for a replacement, as did their friday BOJ. No worse or better than FJE this week really, a replacement belonging to EuroAtlantic was drafted in after 12 hours for FJE. So why if other carriers have the same delays, with contingencys running hughely late is FJE still targeted by the press? And why is a employee from NIA's property department making such comments on the local news? Do FJE not pay charges to the airport, so inferring they could end operations at NCL would see a drop in revenue would it not?

Has anyone got a charter programme for Winter together yet for NCL?
