A380 ops

OMG..... How many posts ?????

This is What i think and im sure that EK77WNCL probs thinks the same as me??

7 YEARS AGO - people stated that EK would not work daily from NCL
As of DEC 2013 we STILL have EK daily! FACT!!

Around 5 years ago People have said NCL would never be able to cope with 777 daily?
As of DEC 2013 we NOW have daily 777's ops!
Loads now improving well due to the aircraft type and product!

What WILL happen next

EK themselves have stated with the loads and cargo improving all the time we would expect to see a second daily service into NCL by late 2015 early 2016!

In around 25 years time YES I said 25 !!
The airport may need to expand the runway and taxiways to provide areas for different types of aircraft and this could include aircraft like the A380

One day NCL may see the A380 however I don't think I will be seeing the aircraft land in my life hopefully my children may get to see that.

Think what we need to be thinking is NEVER say it will NEVER happen.
We can always hope....

We are all HOPING that the American Airlines are watching EK growth at NCL and we can hope that if Dubai can work then the link to the USA can work just as well...

Newcastle one day will be the dreams we have today, however it will be enjoyed by our children not us in the years to come
