Don't want to dampen the hopes of those folks that are still holding out for a New York route but it would appear according to COs Houston HQ that they are no longer looking at direct flights between NCL and EWK.
Best hope for NCL - New York now looks to be from Flyglobespan but personally don't think this will happen either.
It now looks like NCL will continue into 2007 to be the only top 10 UK airport to not have scheduled to the USA.

skyman, I got the information direct from a manager at Continentals Houston HQ.
The way airlines work though they may change their mind but it certainly looks like 2007 will be another year without scheduled links between NCL and USA

So 3 services to Egypt and loads of new announcements this year for NCL. I think in my opinion it's been a good year so far.

Does anyone know why Jet2 are releasing their routes so spaciously? most of them on sale from NCL now, apart from BGO and AMS, as well as TFS if it is continuing through summer. Also does anyone know what pattern the 757 aircraft will fly? The MJV comes in from MJV in the morning, seemingly to operate PMI then fly back to MJV in the evening to nightstop. Is that rotation planned to be 757 op?
Other tour operators should be releasing winter 07/08 soon, but don't expect much, winter is not usually the best time for new routes, though with HRG I could be proved wrong.
Whats that with XL in HEL, one of their crew in trouble? Scandinavia has very strict rules with crew and alcohol, I believe.
Until NCL actually gets a NYC service, there will be this constant debate. It is by the looks of it, a long way off. Not good news for the only airport in UK top ten without one, even LTN has the prospect of Silverjet! NCL does have its strong and weak points. it is very strong player in charter market and loco service to the costas, but weak in European business centres, with the exception of CDG, BRU and AMS. Also very weak in long haul market. Hopefully its weak points are areas the big wigs are trying to address.
IS GSM YHM service definately a 757 op. Heard rumours it could be ZOOM???!!!

Too good to be true then. HRG is certainly the type of destination that would work from NCL. Look at the success of SSH, started with 1/2 weekly flights, now is offered as a cruise package with greater frequency and more tour operators offering deals.
Still nothing confirmed from Jet2 regarding AMS and BGO and TFS. By the looks of the flying programme its a complicated a/c pattern.

My wife and I are considering moving back to the North East to be near to my mam (see, I am from there really) who is not too well. We both work for a development organisation and make regular flights to sub-Saharan Africa. This means that we need a good regular service (three or four flights a day) to both AMS and CDG. Are the Air France and KLM services from Newcastle regular? And are they likely to stay that way on into the future?
Thanks for any thoughts or advice.

AMS will have 5 flts a day (M - F) by KLM and probably 2 by JET 2
CDG will have 3 flts a day (M - F) by Air France and probably 2 by EasyJet
BRU will also have 3 flts a day (M - F) by SN Brussels
Information given above applies to Summer 07

un named airlines to ncl
So far the airbridge on stand 9 is for EK for a daily service to dubai starting next year.
Once work has finished on this i have heard rumours that work will then start on stand 7 for an airbridge for another new airline to start long haul services next year.
Has anybody got any info on this?

All very exiting news about new airbridges and airlines to use them, but has anyone got any sources they can name to back up these rumors
Also does anyone know where i could get a diagram of the apron showing the location of all the stands, and up to what size aircraft they hold?
Thanks
