Hilton Hotel

I thought that was familiar! I searched back and post 205 on this thread - Feb 2009 - read:-


"The new Hotel at the front of the terminal has been confirmed as a Hilton."


Maybe here were some changes rumoured in the meantime.

June provisional stats:
Airport as a whole handled 472054 +0.7% over year 2010.

Main Routes:
Domestic:
LGW: -4% With FlyBe and BA now codesharing on this route, perhaps figures will rise?
LHR: +22%

International:
BRU: +27%
CDG: -8%
DUS: +5%
DUB: +14%
AMS: +1%
SVG: +50%
DXB: -2%
YYZ: -2%
SFB: +12%


Various other ups and downs, could the airport be starting to turn things around?

Not checked, put presumably LHR was affected by the BA strike last year (and conversely last year's LGW might have been artificially high?)

BRU and DUB seeing the benefits of increased frequency and more realistic scheduling.

Air France equipment change

It looks like Air France will start using the Avro RJ85 as of November 2011 right through the next year? Is this Air France taking over from Brit Air?

I assume it'll be CityJet taking over the flights from Brit Air, yes?

ash666, currently Brit Air operate the flight on behalf of AF using CRJ-700s

Newcastle Airport chiefs hail strong performance - Business News - News - nebusiness.co.uk


We’re constantly working with airlines to improve frequency and new routes and there’s a possibility of announcements
Let the speculation begin....

I read that the Leisure Club in the new hotel looks directly down '07', what a great incentive to get fit!

Holidays 4 u

A quick look at the summer charter timetable and there seems to 10 flights a week operated by Onur, on charters to Turkey for the above company.

Very bad at this stage in the season...other companies may put on additional capacity for people unable to take their planned holiday.

something similar happened last season.

H4U was the second player with regard to the NCL-Turkey market, after Thomas Cook.

This is a big blow also for NCL.
