That certainly is bad news, although not a total surprise, traffic has been steadily falling for quite some time. A casualty of the oil industry troubles and one of the oldest route destinations operated from NCL. For anyone interested in the history of the North East, it marks the closing of the last link (Sea ferry or air service) between the North East and Norway in recent times.
On a brighter note, an interesting interview with David Laws in the Northern Echo on 15th December, in which he sets out his future route aims for the airport.
