i have heard that eastern would like to do NCL-LCY.
As for Air 2000 doing other routes that would be really good.
Maybe if operators didn't canx new routes before they start we may have extra long haul routes as the public would then book.
What is the point of booking a holiday to cancun than at xmas the tour operator turns around and says because we dont have 80% full we pull the flight all together. Why cant they not just re-route it through another airport like MAN or LGW????
I can see long haul routes starting soon as tour operators are looking at pulling out of short more and adding more routes from local airports instead of manchester or gatwick all the time.

Announced this morning in the Journal:
Businesses in the North are closer to the capital with the launch of a new private charter plane service linking Newcastle and the centre of London.
Air Charter operator Centreline announced yesterday that it had gained a licence to fly aircraft in and out of London City Airport, based at Canary Wahrf. The flights take one hour and 24 minutes and will see the industry and business commuters transported in modern seven-seater Kingair turboprop planes.
Centreline managing director Philip Brockwell said: "Clients can choose when they want to depart and return and because check in and check out times are so quick, be in the air within 10 minutes of arriving at the airport.
At London City Airport, we will arrange transport to and from their next meeting if required."
Chartering a plane can be cheaper than paying for accomodation and losing staff productivity.
Mr Brockwell also said: "We can also livery the craft with corporate branding if required, arrange fo in-flight refreshments and any other facility requested by our clients."

Interesting though this charter operation is. I doubt if this is the service most users are looking for, i.e a several times daily scheduled service for individual passengers.
I can't believe that this is the forcast announcement that most people were waiting for.
VLM seems to have denied it, that still leaves Eastern or even BA who I read plans to base another a/c at LCY in April.

I notice that Eastern are starting a direct rotation between ABZ and SOU from next month, is this going to mean a reduction in T3 flights operating ABZ-NCL-SOU?

Mike,
I'm sure BE might do well on NCL to BHX, as I have heard that T3 have reliability issues on this route, and some pax loads which could, well, fit in a car!
Looking at the success EZ have shown on their BRS to NCL, and the level of competition on BHX to EDI, with more realistic pricing, BE should be able to sustain 2 or 3 daily rotations, especially if they were to offer onward connections, which they were previously trying to suggest people might want to do through their EXT to CDG route!
It would certainly be more viable than the run they used to do from BHX to EXT.

The CAA statistics for January show that SAS carried 989 pax on its first month on the Copenhagen route without Easyjet. Would probably do better with double daily....morning and evening. At the moment it operates morning only
