As just explained to me – lots of British soldiers near HAJ and guess what lots of British soldiers within one hour Newcastle. Plus looking for inward tourism from Germany.

Got to give the new management at EGNT credit, they've done fantastic since they got started. Got to be at least 10 new scheduled routes with in two years, not to mention additional TCX 757 based, AV8 767 based.

Credit indeed, to the new management at Newcastle. They have seen the introduction of several new charter routes and based aircraft, in addition to te newish easyjet base and complete redevelopment of the passenger terminal.
They have not finished there however. The airport have a 'wish list' of new routes they would like to attract, including new long haul holiday destinations, as well as new scheduled services to various points in europe.
Indeed various rumours are floating around, with ryanair on the brink of setting up some kind of operation, not to mention new easy routes in the pipeline, amongst others.
HLX are starting off on the right foot, by just offering 3x weekly services.
CentreFix25 there will be no based AV8 767 this summer, their short haul work having been taken over by Excel. They will still operate the 2 flights to South Africa. Shame though.
European will not base aircraft either, as they will not get 737-300 in time, so Scandic will return for weekend only work!

"Credit indeed, to the new management at Newcastle."
Yes, BRS's loss is certainly NCL's gain.
John Parkin had a difficult act to follow at BRS when he replaced the legendary Les Wilson, who was tragically killed in a car accident.
However, he showed the qualities that are now evident at NCL by leading BRS's impressive growth of the late 90s and early 21st century.
I know the very able Mike Luddy joined him at NCL from BRS, but Mr Parkin's other qualities appear to lie in the ability to ensure a smooth transition, in that another of his senior colleagues at BRS, Andrew Skipp, took over the mantle and, with his team, is pushing the west country airport further ahead.
As a customer of John Parkin at BRS I was impressed by his willingness to communicate, something not always seen in senior executives, whether in aviation or other fields.
I wish John Parkin, his team and NCL the very best as of course I do to Andrew Skipp and his airport.

I can only speak as a customer and as a Bristol council tax payer.
I am appreciative of the extra local air services that arrived during his tenure and for the fact that I got straight answers from him on the two occasions I had cause to raise matters concerning the airport's service.
I also recognise that the airport rose in value phenominally during that period and, when Bristol City Council eventually sold out, a very large sum found its way into the council's coffers.
Whether thecouncil is spending this money wisely is a matter of opinion - I am aware of the restrictions on what the money can be spent on, and central government also took its cut.
