NORWICH

[aeulad]

MORE BE flights at Norwich!

BE are launching NWI-MAN twice daily, NWI-CDG daily and increasing their NWI-EDI route by adding a third flight on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.

They are really going for Eastern here!

[GoEDI]

It's funny you should say that, because the day after BE increase the EDI-NWI frequency (16th March)- and I was only aware of it going to 2x daily!-, Eastern are dropping it! (17th March)
Co-incidence? Doubt it.

I think you will find that Flybe need Easterns Pilots. There are 4 Captains that are leaving Eastern and joining Flybe in the next few months. It's a dirty game isn't it?

[jamesbrownontheroad]

Are these NWI based captains who are crossing to the dark side?

[NickBarnes]

I have heard that there maybe a new airline coming to Norwich and just wondered if anybody else has heard or knows who it might be

[niknak]

It'll be here or in the Eastern Daily Press before we know!

[qwertyuiop]

They may have an M on the fin.

[jongeman]

It's gotta be Mandarin Airlines from Taipei to Norwich?

[NickBarnes]

yep that must be it well was just wondering.

[airhumberside]

Monarch to Malaga in competition with Flybe?

[bacardi walla]

Are there any private operators based at NWI ? The airport website is geared more towards commecial operations rather than corporate. Links or info would be appreciated. PM me as necessary. Thanks

I haerd that Ryanair were looking at a Dublin service from Norwich - any truth in this?

I was wondering if the BRS and EXT services are looking to go 2xdaily anytime soon?

Also how is the Glasgow service doing as out of all the BE NWI routes Glasgow is the one you here little about?

I personally see NWI becoming quite a busy airport in times to come, it has some nice steady growth - which is good.

[aeulad]

When I spoke to groundstaff at GLA last winter they said that NWi had done well in the summer but that the winter loads were not too encouraging. The route has had time to grow and I'm sure it is supporting itself pretty well. Maybe a second rotation in the next 18 months or so hopefully.

[WOWBOY]

aeulad and MerchantVenturer thank's for the information. Good to see GLA, EXT and BRS all doing well.

I would love to see a service to PLH but i would be uncertain about if it will preform good. Maybe a 3x weekly service
Newquay will be a good destination from Norwich IMO, It will know doubt succed. We will just have to see what develops

[NickBarnes]

Ryanair was the airline i heard which might want to do the NWI-DUB service but they said they did not want to come to norwich

[NickBarnes]

I keep hearing that Ryanair maybe looking at a dublin service from NWI so maybe RYR will come to NWI after all!

[Richard Taylor]

Any sign of Flybe returning to NWI-ABZ, the route it announced last year but didn't start this year?

EMB195 visit

Has the EMB195 visited yet it was due on Friday from Jersey but when on finals at Jersey it diverted to Exeter tech does any one have an update on the visit.

I understand before it can come into service it would have visited all the airports it will be operating to and from.
