The 737 turnarounds still look ok at the moment.

It's now due at 16:30.

Oooo....not too many happy pax today.
Flight operated POP-MAN, with pax being bussed up to NCL.
Could we see Excel losing this contract because of the shambles this year?

It certainly is a shambles. With the airport actively trying to encourage long haul IT charters and the operators seemingly trying to put the passengers off long haul for ever. What chance will Cancun or other locations have of getting off the ground?

At least Toronto seems to operate largely without problems every year.

To be fair I should have added SFB to that last post

One Less Route For Newcastle.....

EUJet
26 July 2005

1500 hours 26th July 2005

Newcastle International has been informed that the airline EUJet has ceased operations. EUJet were flying three times a week between Kent International (Manston) and Newcastle. We have not received any information at present as to what action passengers who are currently booked to travel on future EUJet flights to/from Newcastle should take. As soon as we have information we will place it on this website.


Taken from the airports website.

EUJET

Could be an opportunity for BA to offer help using their GTW service in the same way that Easyjet and Monarch are doing with pax stuck in mainland Europe. i.e. £25 for any passenger with an EUJET itinary. Grateful passengers might stick with BA for future trips.

HLX flights to Cologne and Munich only bookable until 30.10.05. HAJ is bookable beyond this date. Does this mean it has been pulled?

I read on the "other" website, that NCL has a market of 200,000 to New York every year, so Im in no doubt that this direct flight will be a success

Looks like this 'DL' bloke (if he still works @ the airport) was right!

Great news for the North East!

"Great News", chronology of this is puzzling however, if as mooted in my earlier mailing of 18th July that AA were only in process of considering the "A listed routes" and it would appear now in retrospect that a "GO" decision had been made much earlier.
It also raises the issue that this decision is clearly not subject to the fitting of the 757's with winglets, as no confirmation of such an order had been anounced last week.
Very interesting...., any idea's ?

Marvellous news for NCL and, given the spread of direct US services to the UK regions, not before time.

I read on another MB that the 757s will be all-economy configuration with 188 seats. Can anyone confirm?

As for winglets, CO have operated unwingletted 757s to EWR off the shorter BRS runway with no problems, although I believe the winglets are now starting to appear on the equipment used on that route.

If this is an all economy route it would appear to be a different strategy to CO. They use 172 seated 757s with 16 of the seats being business/first.

I believe the fligths are operated by 757s in US domestic config...there are a few F seats onboard but I believe that these will be sold to AA Frequent flyers and those who pay the full Y fare.

Graham

I'ver just found the link on the NCL website. It will be 188 all-economy configuration - daily, reducing to 5 per week in winter, as CO seems to do with its new UK transatlantic routes.

I note your comments about the F seats though.
