There has been nothing announced yet about a direct service. It could just be scheduled flights connecting in London, Paris or Amsterdam though.

I haven't heard of any prospective New York scheduled service out of NCL in 2005, a possibility exists for 2006. I suspect the flights in the advert will be on BA via HRW.

The Thursday evening service is already shown on the Air Malta timetable, the flight that arrives NCL 2145, and leaves NCL at 2230. Aren't they just going to sell the extra seats on this flight?

It's listed as a Scheduled flight on the NCL airport website as well, with the 5182/3 times being the same as the 248/9 times. Looking at the Belleair site though, the times listed there are slightly different.

The KM248/9 Thursday flights seem to be a scheduled service on the Air Malta timetable valid 5th May - 27th Oct.
Bellair Holidays is a subsidiary company of Air Malta so an allocation of seats on the scheduled flight would not be out of the ordinary.

Think I read somewhere (might have been here on Pprune) that average loads for both the flyBe flights to EXT and SOU were in the high 80%-low 90% range
The CAA stats for November have now been published and show that 3646 pax used the Flybe NCL-EXT route that month.
I believe there is a daily rotation, including Sats and Suns. Assuming the service ran for the whole of November this gives an average load of just under sixty-one, or just under 80% of the Dash -8- 400's capacity. An excellent start and in November!
6859 pax flew the NCL-SOU route in November but I believe that two airlines operate this route so it is not possible to work out average loads for either.
21289 pax flew the NCL-BRS route in November all of course with easyJet so one can see the average loads were nearly 124, or about 84% of the B 737-700's capacity.
There certainly seems to be a great affinity between the Newcastle area and the southwest/south coast, so why not Newquay as well as someone else suggested in this thread?

RE the KLM 737-900
It was a one of unfortunatly....... The earlier KLM flight had a tech problem and there was a lot of passengers to be rebooked, to the earlier flight was combined and KLM sent in the 737-900 to operate both flights on th 1 a/c.... so sorry to say its a 1 off...
Although rumour has it KLM will close its base in NCL within the next 18 months.... KLM will drop to only 3 dailys NCL-AMS's services all ops by the 733/734

3 daily 733/734s. Rubbish. The only way this would be possible is if easyJet come in on the route, otherwise 3 73s a day would simply not meet the demand, not by a long way.

With over 21,000 pax per month why on earth would they even consider that option.
KLM depends on their feeder traffic from the UK to fill their Longhaul flights.

I hope there will be more expansion from flybe at NCL.
I think flybe. clearly have Eastern in their sites. As well as lower fares you also have to consider that for those prepared to pay higher fares with flybe. (Business Travellers) do get access to Executive Lounges at most airports = something Eastern don't offer on any fare!!
If the times are right they will attract business travellers. I would love flybe. to start more routes from NCL such as:
INV
NWI
Double daily EXT (we already have a single rotation)
BHX
ABZ
and of course some regional French destinations would be immensely popular.

with regards to the above on the ams route, crewboi is correct. Just before xmas the cabin crew all received letters informing them that the crew base was closing due to the reduction of services and the transfer of the routes to the 737 mainline fleet!
