Strange to understand the Ryanair logic for Newcastle with bergamo,Gerona, Dublin, Shannon etc.
With Hanover ending in October, Dusseldorf will be the only german route left, albeit with a good twice daily frequency, unless the management is talking to Air Berlin or better still Lufthansa to introduce more routes. At one stage Flybe said it was keen to serve german routes out of Newcastle.
I note the routes conference will be held in China in September, maybe something will come out of that. The airport usually has a stand.
Heathrow....the figure for July 09 is 44,296 as opposed to July 08 at 41,047
