Handling at NCL

MAN Despatcher: Generally Servisair handle the "cheapies" and Groundstar handle the "quality".

Division of work in NCL at the mo is about 60% Groundstar / 40% Servisair.

Just a thought..... how long will Servisair hang on to Easy?
Groundstar have a track record of taking work off Servisair, BY/AMM/KLM/SN and Easy (and Ryan) are handled by Groundstar in STN.

Rumour has it Easy will join Groundstar in NCL within the year.

Richardhall99: Eastern pax figures well down (and falling) on what BACX were carrying on same flights. They are MUCH more expensive than BACX were which might explain it.

Technical reliability has improved on the "screamers" under Eastern but generally the overall service is not as good as that offered by BACX. Poor morale among crews and a "small airline" mentality are not helping.

NB: BRS-NCL-BRS BACX loadfactors holding up extremely well.
punctuality and reliability on this route now 100%
