FLYJET
The future of Flyjet has not yet been decided. As for their operation at NCL, it all depends on what future contracts they may be able to get, as work for Freedom/XL seems non-existent?! Hope they don't disappear, they seem quite an interesting operation and possibly could do well as a small, niche UK charter carrier. Certainly some of their previous operations have been interesting.
Looking forward to seeing winter Jet2 schedules, especially SSH etc. Just hope the airline does not expand too much too quickly as sometimes it can be detrimental to the overall success of an airline.

FJE
Delay re: FJE
Heard that the inbound from PFO is actually landing at Manchester, and people checking in at Newcastle for Arrecife (presumably the aircrafts next rotation) in the morning have a nice bus trip to Manchester to look forward too.... wasn't told why this decision was made.
And not connected with this thread, but what was the aircraft that went "tech" at Liverpool stranding 150 supporters who will not be going to Athens....??

Is this convenience store going to have signs for those inbound pax with warnings as to what is able to be taken through secuity?

FJE delay is due to a/c aborting take off in PFO and leaking hydraulic fluid on the runway. Saw it happen! PFO was closed whilst they cleared the runway, but when we left the a/c was still sitting on the taxiway as PFO did not have a tow bar for a 757.
By the looks of it it was not going to be going anywhere soon.

Unlucky for NCL with FR
... no so sure. Competion usually leads to lower prices, but in an already saturated market, it would surely only lead to casualties elsewhere.Looking at this from another view point, just how many more based operations could NCL actually handle with current infra structure?

Ryanair & Flyjet.
As stated by Skyman771, there are pro's and cons when an airline is selecting a base. Could EGNT have handled another lcc with space now rather scarce. Imagine if the new "G" apron was increased in size, after sercurity checks in the main terminal you could then be bussed over to the souhtside! However, the 3 stands currently available are usually occupied by MNG F27 freighters and Jet2's 733 QC's for the mail flights.

Regarding the FJE Paphos arrival (due 19.10 yesterday evening) - this flight is now scheduled to land at 01.00 Friday morning into.... Manchester, with the pax getting bussed up to Newcastle.
The diversion to Manchester was known yesterday afternoon, but after the suggested aborted take-off from PFO and subsequent hydraulic problems, this has obvioulsy made the situation considerably worse..... it never rains does it....

"G" Apron
My thoughts on the "G" apron were, shall we say a moment of deep imagination as I stated. The main apron could yet be developed by many a square metre! 
There is many a way to overcome the points previously posted, so not such a daft thought as it may seem!
