Newcastle on the up! At last

Well you can probably tell I have a passion for NCL as I don't often get up there, working down south.

Things are starting to look up for the northeasts major airport, only months ago it looked like a ghost town. Firstly easyJet are opening a base, with long awaited for low cost services to european destinations. Next summer the airport is set to be packed. Already Britannia are to base 757 and 767 aircraft and Excel and MD airlines are set to have crew based there for the first time, in addition to the normal charters - MYT/SCY/JMC. KLM have increased AMS to 7 daily and FlyBe are adding a scheduled JER service, twice on saturdays. Lets hope the rumours of BA are not true and the sound of BACE jets would be great!

New destinations are being added in the dozens - all great for the great geordie race!

On the down side Norwegian are stopping their SVG service, though I'm sure Wideroe will click on to that.

Any fellow northeners still up please keep me updated on the NCL scene.
