You can get the month in question traffic figures from the CAA website...individual routes are shown, unfortunately you will have difficulty with CDG because it only shows a total for the route and it is not split between Easy and Air France who both fly it.

EK at Newcastle
Heard a rumour that a minor problem with the route application may delay any possible launch, has anyone else heard this. Noticed that Newcastle is no longer showing on EKs website as a destination.
Thanks

Newcastle disappeared from the EK website last week for about 24hrs then returned.
With a launch date of 1st September planned I should imagine they have time to sort out any minor problems withing the next few weeks.

From reading the website it will come on sale soon, most likely using one of the 737. The website says " on sale soon ".
On the front of based aircraft I think it's 3x737 2x757 and 1xBAE
BA's 6:30 to LGW has been delayed provisionally until 12:00, Anyone know why?

It looks like 2 757s now for NCL next year, 3 737s and the flightline 146-200!
Not sure what other routes will be going on the 757s unless more are to be annouced, altho with the launch of jet2holidays.com selling package holidays they may need sum extra capacity on spanish routes

Emirates official?
Just featured on BBC Radio Newcastle news (although I'm sure they said that a A.318 was to be used...) although whether this is in advance of the official announcement later or whether they've just picked up that flights are being sold isn't clear.

Emirates Airline today announced the introduction of a new daily non-stop flight between Newcastle and Dubai, starting later this year.
The Dubai-based international carrier's new service, which will commence on 1 September, 2007, will be the first ever scheduled long-haul flight to operate from Newcastle.
This means that customers in the North-East region will have direct access to one of the most popular tourist destinations and fastest emerging markets of the Middle East. It also opens up an onward route network that stretches across more than 80 destinations worldwide after just one short stop in Dubai.
Regions such as South-East Asia, Australia & New Zealand, the Far East, Africa, the Middle East and the Indian sub-continent will soon be within easy reach of Newcastle for the first time. This represents a massive boost for travellers and cargo shippers alike from across the North-East region.
The new route is expected to generate many new jobs at the airport and throughout the region. Emirates will directly employ up to 15 people at Newcastle International Airport, and it is anticipated that it will also result indirectly in the creation of new positions at support services companies such as ground handling and catering.
Vic Sheppard, Emirates' Vice-President UK & Ireland, says: "This new service will provide the North-East with direct and convenient access to Dubai and onwards to destinations across the globe. No longer will travellers and cargo shippers from the North-East face the unnecessary delay of connecting onto flights via London or points in mainland Europe – they will soon be able to travel and ship goods direct.
“We firmly believe there is a significant potential market for Emirates in the North-East – one that currently remains largely untapped – and believe this new route will prove hugely successful for both Emirates and the North-East. With the involvement of the local community, it has the potential to boost inbound trade and tourism, whilst also helping to foster strong trade and tourism links between the North-East, Dubai and other destinations we serve.”
John Parkin, Chief Executive of Newcastle International Airport, says: “We are delighted that Emirates has shown such a huge vote of confidence in the region and Newcastle International Airport by introducing daily services to Dubai. Newcastle can now offer its customers direct services to one of the most important destinations in the world and an enormous choice of destinations beyond, on one of the world’s leading airlines.”
Starting on September 1, Emirates flight EK036 will depart Newcastle International Airport each day at 1340, arriving into Dubai International Airport at 0005 the following day. The return flight, EK035, is scheduled to depart Dubai at 0720 every day, arriving in Newcastle at 1210. (All times are local).
The service will be operated by an Airbus A330-200 aircraft, with 27 Business Class and 251 Economy Class seats. It also provides a daily cargo carrying capacity of 14 tonnes.
Emirates already operates 91 non-stop flights each week, or 13 each day, from the UK to Dubai – five services daily from London Heathrow, three services per day from London Gatwick, double-daily flights from Birmingham and Manchester, and a daily connection from Glasgow.
