Hi

Thanks

[GrahamK]

Excel Airways.com are showing a NCL-Milan Malpensa flight, but no timetable details

Panorama have released their Winter 2005/6 brochures, viewable by e-mail or post from their website. Only departure points for Agadir are LGW and MAN.

Interesting to see from the Manchester topic Easy rumoured to have asked for slots in Manchester for 2 x day NCL!

Mind you knowing the way Easy and ACL work I am very surprised they have been leaked! Interesting................

The source was the Newcastle Airport website. It appeared on the day I published on here but disappeared the next day.
What that means is anyone's guess.

I read that thread about MAN - NCL a later entry showed the times allocated - morning and early evening.

This sounds more like a route for Eastern than Easyjet.

[urdy gurdy]

just sounds like more work to me

Reckon it might work. Saves the charvas taking the stolen, untaxed Nova across the A69 and down the M6 so they can get their cheapo all inclusive in the Dominican Republic.

Heehee LOL! Good one witchdoctor!

Looking at the Flybe website there is no sign of the promised new routes for summer 2005.

Anyone know whats going on? is an announcement due soon?

[Jamesair]

So far FLYBE have announced a route to JERSEY. 4 flights weekly on TU/TH/SA/SU. Not sure what has happened to the "major" expansion. Hope there are more announcements to come.

Can anyone tell me what sort of pax figures Newcastle gets on Berlin and Copenhagen (is this one still operated ?). Be interesting to see if LBA could sustain flights to these destinations. Thankyou kindly.

Just to add to the 'massive' flybe expansion!

Southampton has gone to twice daily and the Jersey is in fact 5Xweek, operates twice on a Saturday!

CAA stats for June to October 2004 respectively are:

SXF - 6083 7095 7125 6296 6946

CPH - 6255 7157 7224 6191 6838

Gives an average load factor of between just under 70% and around 80%.

The CPH route is being axed from mid December as is the BRS-CPH route. A pity because the passenger figures seem quite promising.

As for Jamesair's query about Flybe's major expansion at NCL, all I can say is that last year Flybe opened routes from BRS to Toulouse, Bordeaux and Bergerac to go with their already-operating Jersey and Belfast City routes. At that time they said it was just the start of something more extensive.

Nothing further has happened and the pax figures last summer on the French routes especially seemed very good.

Flybe seem to be in a headlong rush to start operations at so many regional airports now that perhaps they have forgotten about some of the others.

[GrahamK]

Dont forget that now SAS is operating NCL-CPH so there's no loss of a CPH route at NCL...In fact there wanting to go twice daily on the flights

I stand corrected....thanks.

I was looking forward to some French destinations though and maybe even Shannon
