st nicholas - add one more to the list - employees that need to get a grip on reality - are you serious, a few pot holes in the staff car park do not make a third world airport, have you been to a third world or to use the correct terminology an airport in a developing country! I have been to several and to be honest if all they had to sort out were pot holes in the staff car park and a few smelly drains they would be jumping through hoops.
If your not happy I suggest you resign tomorrow, I know of loads of folks who would be happy to work at NCL and put up with the niggles that seem to upset you so much!

i think that flybe will make a good try at things to oslo, stockholm etc
they have the right size aircraft now they just need good times.
FR loads to bgy arent bad they have just got a better deal at man thats all so its cheaper for them to relocate the aircraft there. FR will be back.

I don't even think BE would fly to Stockholm, no demand - who would go? It would also have to be in a 195, and there are better more lucrative places to send a 195.
It's not about loads, it's about profit - You could fill a -800 daily to BGY for 1p a seat. If BGY was making a good return for RYR they wouldnt pull it.
I do agree that the -800 is just too big an aircraft for RYR routes out of NCL (unless they did PMI, ALC and AGP).

st nicholas : Totally agree, I just brought a new car and I cringe driving in that poxy car park. God knows what it'll be like when the summer season starts again. One of the car park employees has even admitted that they know pax. park in there !!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a third world car park compared to LGW, MAN, LHR with the exception of LBA! Yes I know, I know, at those places you have to get a bus thats 20 mins away from the terminal and they have bigger budgets etc etc
Sorry everyone, rant over!
Hows the new tower going by the way??????

NCL-ARN is double the distance of MAN-CDG, just short of 800 miles in a Dash 8. While i'm sure it's possible, I would be happy to bet £10 Flybe won't do it. It would make just as much money, if not more by going to Belfast twice in the same amount of time.

When will we be given a dedicated staff channel through security?
When will the drains on stand 1 be sorted out?

Distance comparable to BHX-PGF which was a perfectly acceptable and very well-used Q400 route. And FSI have a Q400 sim in ARN - always handy to have a direct company route for any period the Farnborough facilities are maxed out/tech.

its all down to the talks between flybe and airport management.
im sure that if airport want stockholm then they will get it.
maybe a discount on landing fees for a while if they do that route instead of increasing BHD?

Not ideal in a Q400 but as other posters have said, the aircraft has the legs. Flybe use the Q400 on MANMXP occasionally at 730nm and have used on EXTMJV before at 900nm. The aircraft also regulary does BHD-SZG every weekend during the winter at 940nm.
Granted I'd not necessarily want to be in a Q400 for that long but if they think they can make money with it then they might just give it a go!

Getting rid of them stupid Jet2 signs is a must they just look tacky!
Fastrack corridor is about all staff have we have to get down to the gates in order to get the pax boarded so just politey ask the pax if you can move infront of them if the scanner is busy! Its quite simple really!

The NCL-LHR tomorrow morning is cancelled, so is EZY flight to BFS. I also noticed the EZY PRG flight was cancelled today, which is unusual for easyJet. Anyone know why?
