There certainly is some issues regarding ground handling and ground facilities at NCL. Check in space is certainly at a premium and airlines are suffering with large ques and not the amount of check ins they pay for. However, with Swissport and Servisair being the 2 ground handling companies, I say no more!!!

If the airport authority are not renewing the Natwest lease, then it is possible that a couple more check in counters could be added in that space, but will it be enough. The airport needs to invest in a few more areas besides check in space:
I really hope we do see GSM at NCL, capacity to long haul destinations will drop next year, compared to this year. With regards to Globespan Holidays, I think we wont see a flight from them next year, maybe they will just use seats on the new YHM service.
holidays4u sees an increase in flights too. Another flight to check in and process on a saturday - interesting!!!
Finally, somebody did mention flyjet. Yes they have been taken over by Silverjet, though according to press releases etc it will not change their charter ops, so NCL will remain unaffected and have its FJE base for forseeable future. Indeed, they seem to be making a fair crack at making it successful.
- Operating all four security scanners in the search area, as ques at busy periods are currently horrendous.
- More coaches provided for remote parked aircraft, 2 is simply not enough when trying to process early departures with a mix of charters and scheduled flights.
- Address the issues of ground handling at NCL. An airline could swop from one to another in the hope of better service, but I have a feeling its like jumping from frying pan into fire. 2 major carriers are not happy with the service they are currently receiving.

Great news about Hurghada. I belive this route is for winter 2007/8
I see the tour operators are now loading the system with winter 2007/8 dates ready for them to go on sale in the next 3 weeks.First choice website is showing a FUE flight on saturdays for summer 2007 but no flight details are coming up.
See that at the dubai world air routes thing last month NCL held 66 meeting with old and new airlines and tour operators. Far more meetings then anybody else.
Since that meeting JET2 are basing another 2 aircraft and ryanair have added GRO. There are more to come just finalizing the details it said in the paper.
Wounder what these are? New airlines it saidXL changes S07

It's as inevitable as 'night follows day' that NCL will eventualy get a route to the Gulf & most likely Dubai. However there is not one of those remaining top eleven UK airports still without such a route who are not able to put up the same claim. The most important issue in this is whether it is to be provided by a scheduled carrier & thus actually providing access to the Far East & Aus, or just another IT destination so that the punters can go & marvel up Jermiah Beech at the 'Burj' (note it is worth a visit...just..
).

HH6702 I believe XLA have made quite a few changes to their programme for next year, including changes to routes, timings and aircraft types to be based.
As with more new announcements to come, we shall have to wait and see, it all sounds very promising though.
Personally I am not convinced that a NCL-DXB service would be viable, especially if operated by EK or the likes, using A330 sized a/c, with premium classes onboard. Maybe 2 times per week, but would airlines be interested in offering such a low frequency? It has been rumoured for a while that the airbridge to be built on stand 9 is for an undisclosed carrier, so obviously it is some long haul venture, as this stand is used for widebodied a/c (being one of the only pier stands able to take large a/c).
Nice to see some more variety in charter destinations offered, Eygpt is becoming very popular. At times when looking at the departures board, I get sick of seeing ALC, AGP, PMI etc - theres too many flights and not enough variety. Thats only an opinion, however and if these are the routes that make money, then so be it!

747 flights summer 2007
Heard that there is to be a weekly service with a 747 next summer.
I think that it is the travelcitydirect flights?
Maybe monarch have pulled the thursdays flights as the tour operators have been buying seats on this instead?
The new tower is starting to take shape.

I'd like to think they would operate this route - bound to be fairly popular - most spanish flights are from NCL, especially in summer.
I am a little sceptical though as I would think there are other priorities from MAD (i.e. PIK, STN). Also have to remember Fr aren't afraid to go head to head with EZY so LPL, LTN and BRS could possibly be in with a chance too.

My money is on Stansted and East Midlands, and not because these are 2 UK airports I'd expect/choose, but they are the only 2 I've heard mentioned in the circulating rumours.

747 Flights
Travelcitydirect have been talked about quite a few times regarding starting a SFB service from NCL, indeed I believe it was last year that plans were actually put in place, then pulled at the last minute. I always thought such a service would work, but possibly only if TCD used maybe aircraft of 767 size. Not sure NCL has the capabilities, or catchment area to sustain regular 747 ops, with 400+ pax on. However, with Monarch only flying one rotation per week next summer, maybe there is the opportunity there. The thoughts of handling agents, the terminal etc dealing with a 747 at a peak time in summer is interesting!!!
TCD already have experience of operating from NCL, as they operate a number of shorthaul routes, using inhouse airline XL and contracted FJE. As part of the XL group, they along with Freedomflights and XL.com have added quite alot of capacity, so maybe SFB is next.
Would of thought that if they were going to operate the route that it would be on sale by now and lets hope it would be more successful than the last time XL operated longhaul from NCL.
Ryanair
I have to agree with nclairportfan, regarding FR and MAD. Although MAD is one of the only spanish markets yet to be served from NCL, I have a feeling that other airports on FR's UK network will be first. However, we could be surprised. FR have steadily expanded their operation at NCL, in the space of 3-4 years, with TRF, BGY and now GRO. Maybe their intention is not to make it an operating base as such, but have a sizeable operation using a/c from foreign bases. One thing that does confuse me is some of the times of FR's departures, they seem quite late, but then again loco's do like to get the best out of their operations.
HH6702 Reader Holidays quite often operate short series of flights, similar to the one you mention and use chartered aircraft. Similar t the Eurofly Naples that operated at the start of this summer.
On other new routes, we definately have not seen the end of Jet2's expansion, and eastern europe is still pretty sparse on NCL's route map. TLS, VCE, WAW...........

stand 9 is being fitted with an airbridge. The stand is capable of taking a 747, as proved by an AAE example last summer, but surely if regular 747 ops were to start, portable stairs would make more sense, speeds up boarding of 400+ pax.
