Here's the story
Eastern Airways to Launch Inverness-Newcastle Route in June Back
24 April 2006
Regional airline Eastern Airways will commence a six day per week service between Inverness and Newcastle on 5 June 2006, bringing the number of English destinations served from the Highland capital to four.
The daily flights (except Saturday’s) will be operated using a Jetstream 41 aircraft and will depart Inverness at 11.35am and Newcastle at 10.10am.
The new service has qualified for support from the Scottish Executive’s Air Route Development Fund which aims to improve air connection for business and inbound tourism in Scotland.
Eastern’s Scotland Director Graeme Ross commented. “Having recently confirmed our new route to Leeds Bradford and the upgrading of our services to Birmingham and Manchester, this latest announcement clearly emphasises our commitment to Inverness and the North.
“Newcastle is a major destination for all types of traveller and while it was once in the forefront of the industrial revolution, it is certainly now the spearhead of technical innovation, leisure and culture.
“Among its many highlights are the transformed waterfront, the Quayside, now lined with stylish hotels, restaurants and public art. The Gateshead Millennium Bridge, a work of art in itself, arches across the Tyne to link the city to Gateshead Quays and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art.
“We firmly believe the new route will very much complement our existing services from Inverness and will of course significantly increase connection opportunities to onward destinations.”
Inglis Lyon, managing director of Highlands and Islands Airports said: “We are delighted to see Eastern announce this new link to Newcastle, which will be the airline’s fourth scheduled service from Inverness. The Scottish Executive’s Route Development Fund has again assisted us in securing this route which will open up access to the North-east of England. This new destination should be good news for both business and tourism in the Highlands.”

Um, chaps and chapesses. Why oh why the continual going on about Charters? I'm new, but have lurked, so flame away. But really, reading the horny chestnut of BRS vs NCL, getting your knickers in a knot over a few clapped out 733's or 75's (apologies to respective airlines-clapped in comparison to shiny 77's or new A319's), does not a big player make. Transporting the 'shiny clothed ones' on their annual farrago to Her Majestys colony of Magaloooooooof fails to add to an airports prestige. Yes, inherent value in money said shiny ones spend on their lambert and butlers and voddy and the employment of air/cabin crew and gndstaff is very acceptable. But they come and go, there is no tenacity in these markets and what there is, is being encroached upon by the No-Frills carriers.
What about news from the front re a new carrier taking over where AA AAlmost left off? What about opening markets to Eastern Europe? Is NCL not a big player with the poles? Where are the RIX or TLL or where is the GWY or the competition on LGW or larger aircraft to CDG or Longhaul to ANU/BGI/SLU? Or the year round Sevilles or Granada's or the villa-shuttles to Limoges/bod/perpignan?

With NCL being the 5th busiest charter airport in the UK you'll probably find the topic comes up rather frequently, and since it plays a big part in the end result it's no great surprise. Airlines and types of aircraft (be it old or new, 727 or 777) will also be discussed because thats what were interested in and why we visit the forum. NCL v BRS - i think it's more for comparison and prediction than competition.
On the routes front, i think AA did a good job of scaring off any potential operator to NY for the time being. I'm not so sure Eastern Europe would work to well from NCL, can't figure out who would use it on any sort of a regular basis. RIX, TLL, ANU, BGI, SLU years and years away, if ever. The only bit of optimism coming from me is the thought that RYR could be persuaded to pick up a French route or two.

There isn't a market for ANU, BGI, or SLU from NCL, and I would go as far to say there will not be for at least ten year. To be fair though, I think you would be hard pushed to find an airport outside LGW/LHR and MAN that could support these destinations.
In terms of comparison to BRS, to me it looks like they win hands down. They have regular flights to BOD, EBG, FKT, HAM, MAD, MUC, SNN, TLS, VLC, VCE, ZRH, plus the big one to EWR. BRS also has a wider variation of charters as well - BIA, HRG, OLB, PUY, SPU, SKG. NCL dosen't have any of these.
It makes you wonder whether the airport has reached saturation point. Although NCL possibly has the biggest catchment area of all English airports, the pop. is pretty thin on the ground.
I reckon that the biggest growth in the next year or two will come from mainline scheduled and charter diversification. For example CPH and DUS going double-daily, FKT being introduced by LH and ZRH by LX as well. I've thought that there was potential for there to be a mini Star Alliance base, if BD got on the LHR route, and with LH, SK and WF already at the airport. I do however believe that LS and EZY will continue to grow, EZY do ATH, BSL, CGN, MAD. Increase freq. of AGP and CDG.
In terms of charter, I would say that the aforementioned routes from BRS, plus, the elusive CUN would set the market up. I continue to be surprised by FCA's absence.

All that you are is a spotter who sits at the end of the runway with his binoculars and then you like to come on here bragging how good NCL is and how many destinations / charters it has.
You also like to constantly give wish lists about extra destinations you would like to see. I wouldnt mind if you actually used the routes, but not so that you can use them for your spotters logbook.
I have nothing against spotters, but please dont come on here beating the drum for your local airport all the time.
