There was rumours a couple of years ago that EI would make a return to NCL. Great to see them back, but would a morning and evening service, much like the FR service not be better for both business and leisure pax? It will be interesting to see how they fare against FR's service, which is quite often delayed and at very late times, especially the evening service. Can NCL sustain 3 flights per day with 150 plus seater a/c?
Seen as this was a rumour, wonder which other ones will come true?

Well LBA supports 3 daily 738s so, i don't see it being a problem for NCL.
Plus, the EI flight is much better timed for city breaks, the early FR leaving NCL too early, and the late FR arriving in DUB too late!

I think that Aer Lingus will give ryanair a good run for there money.
Maybe we will see ryanair add a 3rd flight a day maybe around lunchtime?

AER LINGUS DUBLIN
Good news we need a mid afternoon flight. But has anyone seen the fares,£105 single plus taxes for all flights in November. Expect some promotional discounts will be needed for this service as I would expect RYR to have some serious fare cutting going on.

Extra Sharm el Sheikh - Summer 2007
Now loaded on the freedom flights website is the FlyJet flight to Sharm el Shiekh on Sundays DEP at 12.00, as well as the Wednesday one, looks like it must be replacing the Fuerteventura on Wednesday, as the other XL aircraft goes to Rhodes and the FlyJet to Paphos

Aer Lingus haven't wiped the floor with Ryanair at Bristol, Liverpool or Manchester! Indeed the Aer Lingus is pulling the Liverpool flight from 25th June and have reduced frequency between Manchester and Dublin.

Well if the rumours that are going round the airport, yesterday are true, it looks like flyjet have given up their operation at NCL and handed it back to XLA. A finnair plane is replacing the FJE one, but nothing has been mentioned of what is going to happen in the winter or what will come of flyjets newly recruited staff.
The wed SSH flight could well replace the sun one, with the a/c operating the old SCY LCA rotation in place of AJet/Helios.
How about the next few years at NCL, new routes etc. Theres still plenty of scope for expansion, heres a few thoughts...
- Winter loco services to SZG, INN, CMF, GNB
- Loco services to VCE, NAP, WAW, KRK
- The long awaited NYC route
- New domestic services to NWI, NQY
- Expanded frequencies on scheduled services to DUS, CPH
- New routes to FRA, either LH or FR to HHN
- The long rumoured BE services to mainland Europe
- More charters to the likes of EFL, JSI, SKG and new charters to Italy, Croatia, North Africa, Eygpt and long haul to the Caribbean.
Established airlines at NCL are ideally placed to expand, with Jet2, FR, EZY the more likely together with other european loco carriers like Wizz, Skyeurope etc
Together the charter carriers willexpand, though there is slack in the FJE schedule, should their operation continue to offer more flights and XLA always seem to offer a diverse operation and TOM are adding more a/c and routes each new season.

Flyjet crew are to be trained on another leased finnair 757 via XL
They will be operating on that under XLA flight numbers etc but in flyjet uniform, no mixing of crews etc etc
This is ment to be for 10 weeks only so who knows what is up FJE and XLAs sleave. Possibly XLA will take over the winter base that FJE was about to start?

I gather that Flyglobespan chairman Tom Dalrymple has allegedly made a comment in the June edition of Airliner World as to future expansion plans to include long haul from NCL amongst numerous other locations EDI, GLA & CWL.
Anyone got anything further to add ?
