"Good news, in that Newcastle will be eligible for the route development fund as all airports under 5 million passengers are eligible. Total of £56 million over 3 years, £17.5 million available this year. The airport has to make a submission but I see no reason why they won't since they lobbied for it to be increased to 5 million. Perhaps some of this money may go to supporting United, but according to a recent press release they are "very excited" about the Newcastle route and so far it is selling well
the way i read this what you have written is that all the 56 million is for ncl. if you read it correct then the development fund is shared out between all uk airports. got my douts all will be used b4 the fund is closed.
