starship, do you know something the rest of the ncl aviation community don't? as you say another based charter aircraft would cover the AMM programme but before the pullout by AMM, airtours were already basing two a/c for next summer (1 A320 and 1 757). And Scandic increasing their presence is doubtful, unless 2 finnair 757s are leased. unless someone knows different things will be the same as last year, apart from air 2 bobs flights will be operated by the likes of islandflug, spanair, futura and other foreign carriers.
i do hope british european do well, thou the bru route may not be that promising, considering much of the sn traffic was onward connecting pax, though only time will tell.
on a positive note, JB007 i pary to the highest god that you are right and ncl is the next GO base - it would be the best thing to happen to ncl for years.
