A snippet in an article from the above:
'BA dropped it's London/Gatwick - Newcastle route earlier this year and budget airline Jet2 has replaced the link. Although the latest traffic statistics show that the passenger numbers have declined considerably, yeilds are understood to be strong. "They will continue the route for

The airline is also expected to announce a major expansion at the airport next year: sources suggest that alongside it's Boeing 737's and 757's, a new addition to its fleet - a
B767 - could be based for services to Cancun, New York, Orlando and Toronto.'
