LS seem to be making NCL work really well for themselves at the moment. I hope it continues!
KRK seems to be working out quite well for LS - just looking on their low fare finder indicates that some flights are full and there seems to be strong bookings throughout the winter period. I think this will go year round and we may even see a slight capacity increase on this route for summer - perhaps a 3rd weekly flight?
I'd like to see LS possibly pick up other new routes.
RIX would probably also work with two flights per week, similiar to KRK to appeal to the weekend market but it is a little far.
LGW is prime for a loco, BA are reducing frequency, much to the annoyance of friends of myne who use the service a lot. I have a vague recollection of some deal between NCL and BA to not allow competitors on this route. Does anyone have anymore info on this?
I'd love LS to replace SAS on CPH but not sure if they would because of landing fees - the market is definitely there though!

An earlier posting on this forum suggested a second carrier may operate to YYZ ?, very little can be more efficient, reliable & cost effective than say a YYZ based operation, but then again Air Transat were comfortable with one weekly service.
Either way I see this service as becoming a nightmare to operate for GSM

Well at least that makes sense - a YHM 'based' operation. But what is this service really ... another STN service with a drop off at NCL in an attempt to maintain a max load factor over the pond, or is it a more formal split load effort? The question has to be asked... what 'Southerner' in their right mind would fly to Toronto via YHM & NCL unless offered a seriously highly discounted fare as oposed to BA, AC direct services & others?.
It is all very well offering low fares, but when the operation is outside the traditional 8 week holiday period, one can find serious discounts on scheduled flights in any event.

I hesitate to make comment on the unfortunate developments at DVT but the loss of the NEWQUAY route, which seemed to be doing ok should open the way for AirSouthwest to either NCL or DVT.

Bad news about baby pulling out of mme.
This may also affect NCL next year.
If jet2 open a base at mme it will mean that ncl will suffer and keep to an 2 aircraft base for next summer, instead of 3 or 4 aircraft.

It's in tonights paper that newcastle airport mangers and MME managers together with one north east are out in dubai talking to world airlines about starting services to the north east.
Lets hope we get something out of this

Jet2 wont open a base at MME in my opinion due to its proximity to the two other bases. 'W' flights into MME with aircraft based at LBA and NCL to the popular Spanish destinations would be prudent.

Thomas Cook 757s to Canada are set up with a 187 seat config. I don't think you'd actually be able to get a 235-seater airbourne at NCL with fuel to get to Toronto...

Many ways of looking at this other than the obvious 'corporate beano'. It has seemed fairly obvious to me for some time that there will in all likelihood be a service from the N.E. to the Gulf within a few years.
The variable as I see it is simply whether it be on an IT basis to service the demand for new holiday destintions for the punters, or whether it be as part of a larger marketing strategy of Emirates, Gulf Air or whoever.
Presumably it would have been politically incorrect with One NE representing the region as a whole including 'Durham' to have ignored the region's second airport. However from recent events I would have assumed that the only stregnth that MME currently have to offer is plenty of spare apron space.
Fit like min?

Any signs/suggestions/rumours of possible competition on NCL-ABZ or does T3 have the route all sewn up.
Could competition grow the route, or have T3 captured the market.
You could always fly up to ABZ to fly the CPH route!!
