Very good news from Emirates there! (3rd best monthly figure, not far behind March '15 - 21,305 and August '15 - Finally they seem to be proving themselves just that little bit more from NCL, I really do think we'll see 2 daily announced for September 2017 by about Q1 2017. They might struggle filling 2 flights in May/June especially though... Bets on equipment? I think 77L, all the A330's/A340's and 77E's will be gone by then
Looking through the full year stats for EK in 2015, they had 233,489 pax for Jan-Dec '15, exceeding my prediction of 232,686 - 233,101 this represents 8.2% growth on 2014
Also good to see that Jet2 had the best turnout so far on their NCL-EWR Christmas shopping flights. 1094 vs 845 in Dec '14, should be seeing the 2016 round announced normally mid-March I think. Hoping to see the October half term flight return and maybe more throughout Nov/Dec. It's a shame their foray into Easter breaks including Toronto and Boston didn't work out, might we ever see them try again since things are in general "on the up" and with cheap fuel running those trusty 757's across the pond is becoming more worth their while... I'm intending on taking a trip to NYC with them from NCL in November
