Is the new Jet2 route to Geneva really going to hit EZY that hard? 1x 737 weekly compared to a daily EZY operation doesn't seem like a real assault. Surely they'd have been better targetting somewhere like Salzburg or Innsbruck with a weekly frequency, rather than adding extra seats to an existing, and well served market? Is there really that much demand for NCL-GVA? What are loads like on the EZY flights?
As for FRA, I think that will happen eventually, but not for a while yet. I'm told that slots at Frankfurt are fairly high demand. Has Newcastle ever had a Frankfurt link in the past?
What amazes me is that NCL-DUS. and NCL-Hannover have been successful routes for some time, yet Munich or Berlin has never been made to work. Munich particularly would fill a hole in the route map, and ought to be workable with a good mix of business, connecting and leisure flights, at least I'd imagine so. Surely the DUS and Hannover flights arent totally supported by Military personell!
