I cant see any expansion from any of the current major players at NCL including jet2, not given the current recession and the fact ncle seems to be fairing worse that other UK airports of a similar size. Just look at how ncle is falling, based of pax figures, in the league table of UK airports.
Opsguy - what evidence do you have that DL and the rest of the management team at NCL are up to the job? On his 'watch' weve lost more routes and seen a bigger drop in pax figures than similar sized airports in the UK and what new services has he managed to bring in? This is reflected in yet another delay in the opening of the new hotel as the current rapid decline means that their aint enough people to warrant it opening.
Now with Ryanair based to the North of us in Edinburgh and South of us at Leeds this squeeze in pax figures will continue.
