Still nothing on the AA booking site.
Nothing has appeared yet on the Airport website re the new Thomsonfly routes for next year, usually a news item regarding a new route(s) appears quite quickly.
With all four destinations being served by Easyjet at present, will the Thomsonfly announcement affect the airports' relationship with Easyjet? I notice that the new route announcement rumoured for last week by Easyjet hasn't happened yet.

Easyjet
All 6 aircraft are now operating everyday with no gaps.
The rome and malaga when 1st loaded onto the system were only operating certain days but when i re-looked they have increased them to daily again.
Must be doing well again for forward bookings hence going daily instead of new routes.

Note your comment:
"If MME is anything like NCL, then 15 mins is exactly how long it takes to finds a set of steps, put them on the a/c, confirm with the crew zero pax in either direction, remove steps, find a pushback tug, towbar and crew and push the a/c"
CAA August provisional stats show 9584 pax on MME - CIA which by my calculations over 150 pax per flight... hardly the zero you state above!

Blahblahblah
Just in case you didnt realise i think maude charlee was slightly "extracting the urine" about the situation regarding the handling of ryanair at Newcastle, and not contesting how many passengers travel on the MME-CIA route.
Take it with a pinch of salt me thinks!

rome easyjet/ ryanair
Am not surprised Ryanair are carrying more pax to Rome from NME than Easyjet from NCL. The Ryanair fares are much lower, in many cases free or a few pence only,plus taxes of course.I think they had a promotion undercutting Easyjet fares from NCL recently. So there marketing is working but can they be making any money on this route? I suspect not hence the reduced frequency in the winter. I note that the Easyjet Rome flight frequency for this winter has been increased from 4 flts a week some months to daily all months,and the prices are much lower than before, so perhaps things will reverse. We flew Easyjet to Rome early July and there was less than 60pax on the way back and about 100 on the outbound,so I guess the lower Ryanair Fares had a major contribution to this situationat that time.

I've just put a post on the BRS thread to the effect that easyJet seems to have withdrawn the afternoon BFS-BRS flight on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and the daily SXF flight on Wednesdays.
They still appear on the easyJet web timetable but if you try to book, the 'no Tues and no Wed' thing appears. I was alerted to it because the BFS and SXF have 'disappeared' from the BRS arrivals board yesterday (in the case of BFS) and today (in the case of BFS and SXF).
However the flights seem bookable again from the third week in October (still the summer period for airlines).
What does this have to do with NCL? The same thing seems to have happened to their BFS and SXF routes, although in NCL's case the SXF Tuesday flight appears to have gone.
I don't know if similar 'temporary' reductions in schedules apply to any other easyJet routes, either from NCL, BRS, BFS, SXF or anywhere else.

Jet2.com plans to operate a direct service to Cork from October 20
HLX are returning next Spring to Shannon with their Cologne route. Do you think Cologne and Munich may return to NCL next Spring?
