Are you sure?
The article says the route from ABZ to NCL is going -it actually went some time ago to Eastern. Please don't start a BA axing NCL-LHR rumour as this is just bad journalism.

Pretty sure it is from 2002!
Reasons:
1. Citiexpress
2. New flights from Manchester!
3. Cancelling London-Belfast
4. End of prop flights in the UK
5. New flights starting in April 2003 - the big one!
the list continues...

Brussels Airlines
Help!
What's happening with Brussels Airlines flight on a morning? My company told me yesterday that for the month of June I can fly on a Monday morning again, however this is not available for July and August.
Can anyone shed any light on the situation with this route?

Aer Lingus
Aer Lingus are to restart Dublin-Newcastle from October 26th operating 5 weekly. Similiar times as before meaning still rubbish for connecting onto Aer Lingus's long haul network out of Dublin.

SN
I never understood why SN cancelled their early morning service to BRU, surely it was more popular than the late evening one, as passengers could use it to connect onwards from BRU and by having 2 flights per day it targeted the business passengers more, enabling them to make a day return? Is the morning service now going to operate permanently?
EI
Nice to see them return, however why did they terminate service during the summer? I know EI have and are still undergoing significant changes, but by retiming their service they could aim more at both leisure and connecting pax, their network to US is good and passengers used to rate transferring in DUB highly.
WOW
How are the loads on the PLH/NQY doing - obviously must be promising for the service to continue?
TCX
TCX seem to be suffering from quite a few delays over the past week, is it just reactionary?

Maybe EI have just accepted that the NE business travel trade suffer from BA blindness.
I used to use the EI route for the states, both JFK and BOS but getting an agent in the NE to 'offer' this was like pulling teeth. The normal response, having been give a BA LHR price and maybe, if I was lucky a KL or SN alternative; when prompted for an EI price the normal respons was 'err, did not realise that this was possible'.
DUB was by far the best connection, mainly because of the pre-clearance of US border controls before you leave Ireland. Breezing past the huge queues on arrival always brought a smile to my face.
Sadly, I do not have the need to travel to the US these days but for leisure I would still go that way and pay the overnight cost.

the delay on the OHY is for some reason they operating the sector back to front via BRU, assuming it maybe a tech reason
the a/c came in empty around 1935 from BRU back too DLM then back too NCL for prov 0630, then the a/c goes too BRU empty
