TCX
So are the promised 4 TCX aircraft now at NCL? and are they opperating a full schedule.
Same applies to the 3 TOM aircraft.
I hear JET 2 has reduced frequency on Prague or was that always intended.
The CAA April stats should be out soon. Any predictions?.

The all white AEU 757 was doing ground engine runs yesterday (think it might have even had a engine replacement) so I assume the Iron Maiden machine was filling in.
Does any one know which flight it operated today so I can look out for it on it's return?

Any idea why BA used 772 G-YMMG on the BA1334/1335 flight yesterday?
Nevermind, looks like the website I got that info from was wrong...

Airport Hotel sold a few weeks back, licensing application forms up on the fence now...
re viewing area, there is something being done, but money will decide when.....
the old building had to come down as it was full of asbestos and it was cheaper to demolish and rebuild than to make it safe first then do up....

ash666, it is actually a surprise as it's usually BA that cancel first 
Are we expecting the same amount of disruption as last year I wonder?
Oh, and I notice Emirates had their busiest ever month at Newcastle last month, 14701 people using the service, for an average load of just over 88%.
Not bad for an airport with a very limited catchment area

not NCL i know but an interesting read (or read and weep and hang your heads in shame KLM etc):
From Ryanair website -
UPDATED: 11:00hrs (Tues 24 May) NEXT UPDATE: 13:00hrs (24 May)
Ryanair has been advised by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) that we may not operate flights to/from Glasgow Prestwick, Edinburgh or Aberdeen until 13:00hrs Tuesday 24th May 2011.
Ryanair strongly objects to this decision and believe that there is no basis for these flight cancellations and is meeting with the IAA this morning to have this restriction on Ryanair flights removed as a matter of urgency.
Ryanair confirms that it operated a one hour verification flight up to 41,000 feet in Scottish airspace this morning (24th May). The aircraft took off from Glasgow Prestwick, flew to Inverness, on to Aberdeen and down to Edinburgh - all of which according to CAA charts were in the “red zone” of “high ash concentration”.
There was no visible volcanic ash cloud or any other presence of volcanic ash and the post flight inspection revealed no evidence of volcanic ash on the airframe, wings or engines. The absence of any volcanic ash in the atmosphere supports Ryanair’s stated view that there is no safety threat to aircraft in this mythical “red zone” which is another misguided invention by the UK Met Office and the CAA.
Ryanair has also received written confirmation from both its airframe and engine manufacturers that it is safe to operate in these so called “red zones” and, in any event, Ryanair’s verification flight this morning also confirms that the “red zone” over Scotland is non-existent.

Disruption at NCL
Quite a mixed bag of flights opperating/not opperating. Seems that BA,TOM,TCX,LS,RYR,EKand LH unaffected. Yet BE, EZY, T3, SN AF either cancelled some or all flights.
Not sure if I understand whats going on.
Ash 66, Yes KL have also cancelled some flights but they are all currently running now as I write this post.
Your post re Ryanair makes interesting reading.

The UK Transport Secretary has just stated on Sky News that they have tracked the flight path of the Ryanair aircraft this morning and contrary to Michael O'Leary's assertion, it did NOT fly through any designated RED Zones.
Someone is misleading the public.
