I already posted about a month ago saying that if you look at the flight guides which u can pick up on any jet2 aircraft or from any ticket desk it states that the ncl ams is only once daily, unless it has been dropped all together now. that would make room for a morning lgw service instead. but if that was top happen there is no aircraft availible to do 10ish lgw service on tue am

But that's missing the point of it all isn't it
Frankly, I think it would have been far more popular had Easyjet introduced a new route from Newcastle instead of going head to head with Jet2 on Krakow

Jet2
Jet2 still seem to need to reorganize times on quite alot of their flights, unless it means NCL is to get 6 based aircraft, of which would not seem to fly very often. Even though timings for AMS, BGO and TFS have not yet been announced flights all seem to leave NCL at around the same time. Look at saturday for example;
NCL-LGW 0640/0945
NCL-MJV 0905/1540
NCL-VLC 1030/1630
NCL-PMI 1115/1725
NCL-AGP 1315/1945
NCL-KRK 1330/1910
Assuming the LGW a/c would operate another route in the afternoon (If it is a 146 would this happen or would the 146 be dedicated to LGW run?) then it means that NCL would have 5 based a/c - only doing 1 flight per day, hardly financially viable. My thinking is that lots of rescheduling is going to occur.
Easyjet
Nice to see EZY sticking to thier promnise of 7 based a/c, maybe that summer will see 7 and then winter reverts back to 6? Would of been nice to see a new route from them and I think it is highly unlikely that they will give up GVA, considering its popularity. Maybe we will see HB a/c arriving. Lets also remember that EZY do seem to get very protective over their operations and for a while they had it good at NCL with no competition, now with the arrival of Jet2 they seem to be feeling threatened. Increase in frequency on PMI and AGP (both served by LS) and new routes to KRK and MAH (both LS routes). Could we see a mini-battle at NCL between locos?
Anyone else read the 'Flyjet-2' thread? Seems we are to loose them as a based charter carrier at the end of next summer? Anyone know if there is any truth in the posting?

This would be true - when Flyjet started flying for XL didn't they sign a contract for 3 years? They started at NCL in Summer 2005, that meant they had 2005, 2006, 2007 and then after Summer 2007 the contract is finished. This will see NCL gain an extra based XL aircraft though.

mmeteesside Flyjet actually started flying this summer, summer 2006. I thought the contract was for 3 full years, meaning both summer and winter so by my maths they shouldn't be leaving us until the end of winter 08/09? That is 3 full years???? Shame if they do go!
Goldtrail Holidays have increased capacity for summer 2007 and are operating the usual OHY Airbus flights to DLM and BJV but have also added AYT and ADB. These are in addition to Onur flights onbehalf of Holidays4u.

Really surprised at the thread on FJE. However the aircraft is sat for days at a time which must be a strain on cash. Fje1, whom is normally so positive, seems to have posted a reply which was very downbeat - I do feel soo sorry for the crews.
Will XLA base an aircraft here then?

TCX are rumoured to launch Toronto flights from NCL Summer 07, also beleive Globespan will do also, does this mean an end to the Air Transat schedueles in summer or will they be as well as???

No Air Transat for S07 as contract has now expired, note you are a new subscriber & possibly missed the thread, but topic has been discussed at legnth on this forum over past few months. GSM has a weekly service STN-NCL-YHM & maybe there is also to be a once weekly TCX into YYZ ?

TCX are meant to be starting a YYZ in 2007, at the expense of BHX so I imagine it will be on a Saturday, arriving at aroung 6am and leaving at 12 if the timings are the same. The BHX flight has been replaced by GSM I believe!

TCX YYZ flight will operate on thursdays directly replacing Transat service. Globespans YHM service is on 757 on sundays and does YHM-NCL-STN-NCL-YHM.
Also noted a vast increase on Onur Air movements for next summer, tues to ADB, thu to DLM, 3 flights on a fri to BJV, DLM and AYT, Sat DLM and Sun BJV. 7 flights a week!
Who knows what will happen when FJE disappear, maybe XLA or maybe Excel Aviation will contract another carrier in? Shame though.

Who is operating to SFB next year?
RE FJE - I was thinking whom would replace them. Surely its time for XLA to bring the own a/c in. There aren't to many other carriers whom I would see would take the work and set up base - quite a committment

SFB Summer 2007
Currently only SFB is MON on the Sat with there A330.
Summer 07 will see a MON A330 at newcastle on fri for dom rep, and sat for sfb (note thr sfb has been dropped).
Thats a massive decrease to half to the number of seas available compared to last year. Have heard rumors on here that Travel City Direct (possibly using XLA) will be doing a SFB but no-one has said for certain or revealed their sources, so i think it may just be wishful thinking.

Been away for a few weeks.....there seems to have been quite a bit happening but only a once a week to Limoge from Flybe, surely there will be more to come.
Jet 2 don't seem to have announced any summer 07 flights to Bergen yet.
I'm surprised at the 1 weekly flight to SFB...I would have thought with nearly $2 to the £1 trips to the USA would be exremely popular next year. Maybe things will change.
a/c No.7 for Easyjet....that is good news but an odd choice of new routes.

HH6702, where is this comming from, CO HQ in Houston did confirm a few weeks ago that ncl would be a non runner for them in 2007. Of desired routes from New York over ther next two years ie to 2008, ncle does not even deserve a mention in their business plan.
