Easyjet summer 2007
Continuation of: http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...245930&page=16
So it looks like Berlin Budapest and Geneva have gone this summer. Would expect to see Geneva back as a winter route. Budapest probably gone for good as pax nos very poor recently( similar at other airports). Would think that FlyBe will start Berlin along with Copenhagen and some others if they do ever base at NCL.
Its good to see Easyjet bring in A/C no 7 at last but the 2 new routes and the increases in frequency to existing spanish sunshine routes where there is arguably over capacity to start with seems strange. Where are all the passengers going to come from? It would have been good to have places like Venice, Dubrovnik, Split etc as new routes not duplicating existing ones.(Perhaps Jet2 have some announcements to come)
Competition is good for the travelling public and we will see some very good fares this comimg summer, but after that someone will suffer.
Where are all the aircraft going to park next summer.
From what I have read there will be the following A/C based at NCL,
7x Easyjet
4x Jet2.Com (plus a possible 146 for LGW)
1x BA
1X klm
1X AF
1X sn(back to nightstopping a/c)
4X Eastern
3X Tom
2X TCX
1X MYT
1X FJE
2x XLA
4X BE ( possibly ) Thats a total of 32
If this is correct will there will be a problem with space?

07:00 – BRS
07:30 – FAO
06:40 – STN
06:15 – AGP
07:20 – CDG
FAO going daily next summer.
CDG remaining as the winter at 2 x daily weekdays (1 x sat/sun)
NCE is making a return - daily for the summer
PMI also going to 2 x daily on certain dates of the week

With the amount of capacity potentially on offer is there actually a justifiable need another airport down the road ?

fl dutchman: Where are all the aircraft going to park next summer?
Thats a good question!! As part of the winter works we are getting two new stands built on the main Apron (north of stand 18). However with all the aircraft you have listed I think it may be a bit tight to say the least. Doesn't leave much room for flexability if aircraft go tech!!

EZY do not seem to have released GVA for summer 07, I'm thinking that maybe it is to become a winter only route. Sun destinations such as MAH, FAO, PMI etc to operate in its place as these are more heavily utilised in summer.
LIG and ABZ, excellent news from BE, are they operated by based a/c, as I see LIG is only once weekly on a saturday?

Easyjet could still do GVA but with a GVA based aircraft - now EDI-GVA will be done by the new EDI aircraft there is a gap in the schedule for one of the GVA aircraft. That could be filled by NCL-GVA wihen GVA flights go on sale. Not saying that will happen but its a possibility

Easyjet Re GVA Can't understand why you all continue to speculate about NCL-GVA I posted on this site at 09.00 that GVA has been reinstated !. Confirmed by an acquaintance enquiring to EZY in GVA this morning.

Geneva
However hope your info is correct.
Budapest.
Evening Chronicle readers holidays advertising breaks to Budapest with various departures during 2007 direct flight from NCL so could that be back on with Easyjet or JET 2 or Fly Be ??.

Jet 2 v Easyjet
Just to pick up on an earlier thread comment about easyjet prices. I checked a few prices on the ncle to pmi route during the peak summer holidays in 2007. On the same days I checked the prices fore both airlines and Jet2 came out cheaper on price each time.

Jet2 Amsterdam
Looks like Newcastle will not have Amsterdam as a Jet2 destination after March after all. Their banner states that Amsterdam summer now on sale from Leeds, Blackpool and Manchester, with no mention of Newcastle.
Has it not been doing that well? Maybe not, but I suppose it will release the aircraft to do something more lucrative, or possibly back to Leeds where most flights are showing a huge capacity increase for next year.
Would the lack of Amsterdam allow the Gatwick to be done by 737 instead of a 146 now?

JET2
Krakow to increase to 3 per week from summer. Extra flight on Saturdays
I have also heard some time ago that their AMS service was to drop to 1x daily or cancelled altogether from March 07.
We will find out in due course, but if they have released seats from Blackpool, Leeds and Manchester today why not NCL.
I understand the loads have been good but are they making any money with such low fares.
Overall Pax nos from NCL to AMS have been up by about 50% since Jet 2 started on this route.

Emirates
On another forum it was claimed that a cabin crew member on their
EK induction course this week were openly told the new routes for 2007.
They were the same as the other rumours and Newcastle was included.
I have seen the Venice flight uploaded on one booking site, I think EK157
if I remember rightly.
Just could be one rumour that might come off, fingers crossed.

Jet2 are obviously stepping up the battle against Easyjet. Wouldn't it make sense though if Jet2 moved their 3 flights from M---F-S to -T-T-S- so that they wouldn't be flying on the same days as Easyjet, as well as giving consumers the choice of daily flights from Newcastle.
