Whatever we are discussing, NCL certainly looks set to loose passenger numbers next year against those this year. Some of this loss is obvious due to the consolidtion within the charter groups but I still firmly believe that not all geordies want the likes of ALC, PMI and AGP for their leisure trips! Though looking at the frequency of such flights, I am quite wrong. Shame to loose such routes as JTR, VLC, LEI etc.
Emirates seem to have their hands full tonight - quite a lengthy delay, still a definate bonus for the NCL route network. Lets hope load factors and yields are good, enough to sustain expansion.
