I know someone how works for kosmar and they will be adding these routes for 2006 may not be newcastle but kosmar really does support newcastle as a point to fly.

Libra never did turkey until this summer.

Excel winter base

They are hoping to base aircraft at newcastle for the winter season but upto now they need some work.

Maybe Mytravel will pull out in winter and let excel pick up the work??

Kosmar will be adding flights in winter also.

Topjet its not just the baggae handling thats good, but the customer service is better to! I done a flight the other day and was sharing a gate with EasyJet and the way the staff talked to a few passengers.... I felt embarrased for her!!! I might not be the best but i certainly know where to draw the line, as do a lot of girls/guys at Swissport.
Besides, I can name 2 airlines that left servisair purely on grounds that the customer service was crap (Widero and KLM CH)

Shame to see MYT down to 1 a/c..... hope XLA open a winter base though, bout time we had more than 3 or 4 perm airlines with staff based in NCL!!!!

NCL's loads for easyjet routes are good but on every route a certain South West airport is better - check out the CAA reports to see for youself!!

Valencia or Ljubiljana could be in the frame for Easyjet. In the old Yugoslavia days, Yugotours used to carry a lot of people from Newcastle to the various resorts. Valencia is becoming very popular.

Ah good to see the kids of Newcastle have found yet another forum to get unnecesarilly excited on. A weekly charter to Sanford? WOW! Whatever would they have made of Air 2K 757s operating a full summer season from Newcastle to Montego Bay and Bridgetown???

NCL-LCY

Ncl-lcy
I've noticed there is no scheduled service from Newcastle to London City.

It'd be very useful for me.....and a lot of people I've talked to working in the NE - with company HQs in London..

Anyone know of a reason why no airline's picked up on what to me seems like a decent business opporunity?

Cheers

Dan.

There has been lots of speculation that this route will be coming, on my website (in the forum) and on lots of forums. Noone yet operates this route and I think it would be hugely popular too.

Understand VLM have confirmed this route will operate. I'm sure the wise sages with all the necessary breakdown of times/frequencies will be along shortly.
