I heard again today at work that menzies is definitely coming to Newcastle in the march period. The contacts I was told they have are Thomas cook, Thomsonfly, eastern and maybe British airways.

New York Route
Interesting article in the local Newcastle press tonight. Basically it stated that a year after AA pulled the plug on the flights direct to New york the airport and One North East are no closer to finding a replacement airline.
They did say that this route was a priority for 2007 in order I suppose to get something running in Summer 2008. This does mean that NCL are the only airport in the UK top ten, with regard to number of passengers, that does not have a direct scheduled service to New York
Hopefully this will put some of the runmours on here about DELTA and CONTINENTAL comming to Newcastle to bed for a while.
No news on FLYBE should we be worried?

The airport thinks their is demand as does One North East, apparently the cancellation of the service cost the region £5 million pounds - well according the One North East.
The article goes on to state that they are having trouble finding a replacement airline. CO did want to start in SO7 but when AA came in a year earlier the CO 757 no doubt went elsewhere. CO expansion now seems to be towards India and China.
The aritcle did say that AA may come back now fuel prices have levelled off, god help us all if they did as most folks will have already lost confidence in them after the last fiasco.

i belive that only AA will look at ncl now for a new york route.
i think that co will not touch us since AA dropped out.
lets hope we hear something by mid 2007 for 2008 then.

Im a bit bored of this NYC rumour. All the rumours about AA/CO going to JFK, personally would rather see EK cum in with the A330, at least then we would have some decent connections to world wide places, rather than just the states.
I can see AA/CO fannying around that much that the likes of GSM will get in there first and after flying with them recently I can assure you I wont be repeating my business with them.

Although it wouldnt have been a bad idea if they could get it going, but its weather isnt it, as soon as they start preparing to move services to LGW the fog would clear lol and LGW has had fog this week 2, i did 2 early morning LGWs this week, both were due in at 0930 to MAN and i ended up landing just after 1pm!
However, whats going on with the NCL DUS, it was a A321 today and the 737 operated a while back.

EK
Just went on another forum and used a link to the airline and Newcastle
is in the drop down box of the booking engine but I could not book
flights. Is this normal to have NCL in Emirates booking engine, I have
checked before and never seen Newcastle offered?
A post on the same forum a few days ago said Newcastle is definite
but not announced.

EK
Just tried it on the airline UK page and it is definitely not there but
as I can't post the link (advertising) you will have to go on the EK thread
on a very well known site beginning with "a" - it definitely worked
for me.
I tried going on to the UAE page but Newcastle was not mentioned
there either. If anyone can confirm that I am not going mad I would be
very pleased.

Looks likes its just the usual mix of 733s/734 and 735s

I really can not see sufficient punters hanging around at LHR to fill anything other than the 'usual mix' on the NCL.
Finally more amunition for all those that have an issue with Easy's contempt regards their quality of service to NCL, the ONLY Easy flight canx. out of STN this moring was the 513/514 STN-NCL !. To add insult to injury the EZY flight currently showing the longest delay at STN (2.5 hrs - indefinite) is the 515 !
What a complete shower of incompetent t**sers !

I read on another thread that BA had operated 777's on the LGW - EDI recently and for what it is worth on this mornings BBC news broadcast (as it's BBC probably nothing) but they did say that on certain routes today to get traffic back to normal BA intended using 747's.............. though presumably here we are talking LHR based machines.

G-EZKE was used on the 0640 NCL-STN (EZY512) which would have returned as EZY513 then back down to STN as 514 and back up again as 515 then onto FAO at 14.10. What happened was....
STN were an aircraft down and had 149 pax checked in to go to LYS at 06.15 so a/c G-EZKE operated this route (leaving the NCL pax to be coached) it departed around 9am bound for Lyon and returned to STN around 2pm, a/c then operated the delayed EZY515 back to NCL arrive approx 15.45!
