I think Easy are planning a little consolidation next year so No 7 could be a while off! Then again you never know with Easy!
Looks like 05 will be the year for other carriers starting routes and what a start!

Possibilities
Ok so here's some possiblities for new routes on the scheduled front..
MAD, Oslo, Stockholm, Faro, Athens, Naples, Venice, Frankfurt, Murcia, Toulouse, Shannon, Cork, London City, Jersey, Warsaw, Geneva, Malta or how about some competition on things like Amsterdam or new loco services to Dubrovnik???
And of course a link with NYC......CO come on!
What about expanding charters to africa, long haul to Caribbean, Mexico? Rumour has it Excel are eyeing up possibilities and with a chance of an EK DXB service Newcastle is getting to be a world class airport with a network to rival bigger hubs.

So Ryanair are going to Milan from Newcastle. You have to ask the question, which Milan? Now my money is say it's not the Milan the passengers want to go to, the real Milan ie LIN. Nor do I recon that it will be MXP, but I could be wrong. I'd put money on the cheap option: Bergamo.

Yes, it is their hub at BGY. Easy have dropped several routes from LIN because they can't get the right slots. Forget about serious loco at marble plated MXP!
BGY is one Ryanairport you can't really criticise that much - it's got plenty of facilities, a big mall across the road if your flight's delayed, and is only about 1 mile further out than MXP. MXP may have the "Malpensa Express" train, but that doesn't connect well with the rest of the city, and takes only about 5 minutes less than the BGY bus.

New (returning) carrier
Hi all,
Just signed up and was browsing this thread,
I can confirm that a new/old carrier will be operating out of NCL from 1st Nov.
SAS will restart a daily rotation to CPH.
I think EZY might pe pulling the plug on their flights, that's just a rumor tho.
We don't know what a/c they're going to use yet but i expect it's a Dash-8D.
Later dudes,
Sharky12t

You've been away a while, Easy have announced the end of the CPH as well as BRS-CPH due to new Danish passenger tax's.
SAS starts end of this month and Easy finish 13th Dec? Just before the GVA starts.
BEE starts EXT & SOU at the end of this month also, together with Easy's sixth a/c going to be a busy winter!

FlyBE?
Cheers for the update then guys, we weren't sure what kind of a/c we were getting in the office.
As for FlyBe that's the first i've heard of it and we handle them aswell, I despatched 2 Belfast flights yesterday, one of them in 12 minutes block to block.
Might circulate that rumor when i get back to work on Friday.

JKP505.... thanks for the info but its dont really sound like an expansion to me. I already work at NCL airport and that sounds exactly the same charter programme as this year.
I doubt very much MYT will be doing the NCL-SFB as its been sub leased to MON for the last few years and as they are dropping down to only 1 A320 next summer i doubt you will see the A330 passing throught, from what i hear MON will be doing it again next year.
TCX are not ops the NCL-SSH but BY will be doing it on the 757
BY are also rumoured to b dropping a 757 next year but keep your ears open for that.
I wouldnt b suprised to see Air 2000 (FCA) back anytime soon, they were supposed to be doing SFB on the 767 this year but never come up, but im sure they will b doing it next year.
I dont think Islandsflug are ops out of NCL next year from what i hear but also heard that XLA will be adding a 2nd 738 to NCL as well as possibly doing the odd longhaul. Maybe it will be shared with TCX so might not see a TCX A330 doing the caribbean. Thats what ive heard recently anyway.

BHD Loads
ALLMCC,
Most of the flights yesterday were about 40% full, it's the weekend flights that get the higher figures, stag and hen parties.
The 434 and 432 on Sunday were booked 72 and 76 respectivley.
It's quite good fun to be competing with Easyjet for the departure gate, their BFS and our BHD flights are due out round about the same time in the evenings.
So FlyBe are going to be competing with Eastern on the SOU route, good job because Easterns fares are rediculous. I expect they'll both be targeting different types of passenger tho.
Cheers for the heads up.

Overall
So overall, for once NCL is gaining in services and indeed credibility in the industry, airlines are actually wanting to fly here and expand their presence, actually marketing themselves well enough so people are aware of new flights etc. 
This year alone, easy have expanded by adding SXF, PMI, NCE and soon to start BUD, FCO and GVA. New charters to greece were added and HLX arrived on the loco scene. Flybe are starting new services to Sou and EXT with more on the horizon. SAS are restarting their old CPH service in place of easy.
Next year (and if some rumours are to be believed) NCL will have extra loco flights from Easy, Flybe and Ryan and the possibility of long haul scheduled services to the US and Dubai(?)!!! It is no secret to airport wants to attract extra scheduled services from both loco and full service airlines such as SAS, Lufthansa etc.
And other airlines are looking..Wizz, Swiss and others.
On the charter front, next season, as well as through the winter new services to Eygpt and the Caribbean will commence, as well as some new european holiday spots.
owever there appears to be a reduction in capacity from some airlines and increase with others. BY are to base just one 757 and share one with Teesside (Sorry Durham Tees Valley International Airport). MYT dropping to just one A320. TCX keeping 2 757 and excel supposedly having 2 737, aswell, according to some sources long haul using their 767 (any ideas where?). Islandsflug will make a return doing a few weekend based flights, as I am led to believe a lengthy contract was signed.
All this aswell as the usual scheduled and charter flights made by non based aircraft, surely passenger numbers are going to rocket at Newcastle. The apron will certainly look crammed with all those nightstopping aircraft.

MYT are reducing a/c to one A320 and BAL has two 757's during the week, one goes to Gatwick over the weekend! Guess lots of sub charters!
MME has a BAL B738 based, nothing to do with NCL. This will mean a reduction of seats on some routes presently done by W ing 757 or 767's!
