Skipness One Echo,
Is that a doubting tone I detect in your response? Doubt as much as you like but please do not waste your time doubting this fact. There is a market for a transatlantic operator from Newcastle - as there is for Emirates to Dubai and beyond. Fact. Whether the economic conditions including exchange rates are right for a launch at this moment in time is debateable but the market exists. I have seen the estimates but they are not available for sharing.
