Great news on the expansion out of NCL - especially the EZY base. This should be a massive boost to everyone there in terms of the year-round operations.

When I worked on the NCL ramp, the summer period was so manic with many different operators. However the winter was dead and the workforce had to be cut by 2 thirds. This should redress the balance and serve the demand that there is in the North East ( so proved by the succesful GO services to STN ).

On a lower note, though: where are they gonna put all the passengers? I know the new apron has been built, but the coaching gates at NCL are tiny and could just about cope with the few flights that were forced to park out there during the busier periods. NCL is a small but well arranged airport and I just hope this new success is met with new investment.
