NCL always did have a big IT trade, which took a knock when the lo-cost airlines became based at the airport. However it seems that a resurgence is taking place with TCX basing a fourth a/c next summer and Jet2 holidays and now EZY getting in on the act.
On the scheduled front, it is nice to see that CPN is seeing a pax increase each month now and hopefully we might see a return to double daily again soon.

interesting story in the Journal (hopefully the standard of reporting is better than the Thomson B.737 escapade)

The flight is full as well, although you can fly next week for £250 return. The airport seems to be coping better with the weather than most of its neighbours. It has been open this afternoon and evening when other the airports in the North East, Yorkshire and Eastern Scotland are closed.

Diversions
Think they`ve taken a few. Snow teams have apparently done an amazing job, kept the airport open nearly all day and still going in terrible conditions.
A credit to the airport, well done.
