Newcastle Expansion
I have just read in the local press that talks are in progress which could lead to a 6th EASYJET a/c being based at NCL from late summer and that NORWEGIAN may commence lo - cost flights from Oslo and Bergen to NCL from as early as May.

more easy at NCL
And just where are they expecting to park their aircraft?
26 night stoppers over summer and only 23 stands available.
Its been bad enough this winter with delays due to airport facilities - coaching, ambu-lift etc.
I hope the morning departures are going to be staggered, or the airport will grind to a halt.
If say 8-10 internationals are off pier, they'll all need coaching and there's only 1 international coaching lounge with a capacity of about 200 pax max? hhhmmmm.

mmmmmm all very confusing. The journalist in question used Norwegian Airways as the airline name and REEVESYK says his family in Norway have seen adverts from Norwegian.no covering the new routes.
I suppose there will be an announcement soon, there was once a rumour that Snowflake would do these routes but perhaps REEVESYK could get more info from his family on the adverts they have seen.

Norwegian Air Shuttle has not announced anything what so ever about a Newcastle-service in Norway and this is the first time I've even heard a rumour regarding it.
And Widerøe has not mentioned anything about a Newcaste-service from Oslo, either.

This is NOT a rumour. The Newcastle Evening Chronicle quoted the Commercial Manager of Newcastle Airport as saying "We are confident of agreeing a deal which will see the new flights to Norway" the airline in question was Norwegian.

Oh, I see. Then this is great news!
Let's just hope that they don't expand too rapidly. They have already announced Prague, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Berlin, Pisa, Venice and Olbia this winter.
OSL traffic figures rose 8,5% in total (international traffic = 16%) in February, so things are definitively looking good! We will probably hit the 14 million mark this year.
