Monarch

Looks like monarch are doing a press annoucment this coming thursday...

I see on TCX website it shows that AEU and Mint will operate a aircraft each again at NCL for summer 2012..

Has anybody picked up any extra turkish flights for next summer?
Jet2 have a extra dlm but we have lost many flights this year due to H4U going under. Very few flights from Onur Air this year..

Best UK Airport

Surprised there has been no comment on this.

Newcastle Airport awarded BEST UK AIRPORT in the up to 6M passengers category by The British Air Transport Association for the third year running.( see airport website )

Not sure who actually voted but it must mean something positive.

Unfortunately that is probably down to human nature where people prefer to complain about things rather than acknowledge success and achievement.

Having said that....congratulations to the airport.

The new airport hotel (Hilton Doubletree) seems to be opening later this month. Rooms are bookable from 24 November.

Lapland

Does anyone know which airline/aircraft type is scheduled to operate the Transun santa day trip flight to Lapland on the 18th December? Airport website says TBA, but I guess it must be known now?

P330, I'd imagine it'd be Jet2, Small Planet Airlines or Tor Air.

Looks like winter is well and truly settling in, only 5 departures from 2:30pm until the end of the day on a saturday, including one to Lyon Bron. What airline is V5?

Cheers Earlyriser

Am I correct in thinking it may be a rugby charter? Newcastle Falcons/Heineken Cup related?

Thanks

Thanks Graham. Appreciate the feedback - if you find out anything for certain in the meantime, I'd be grateful if you could post it up. Cheers!

Indeed winter is here.

Highlights from the October pax figures are;

Brussels 4508 + 23%
Stavanger 2195 + 34%
Nice 3319 + 13%
Dusseldorf 4209 + 21%
Cork 1896 + 7%
Amsterdam 23,528 + 4%

Dubai 13,817 - 3%

The majority of our overseas routes performed well but domestic routes fared poorly probably because of the passenger tax.

Does anybody know why Dubai Airwings was at NCL today? It was a 737-800, A6-HEH - I tracked it on an phone application. I seen it approach upon it's landing while I was at work (in Killingworth)

The Monday SKG has been dropped as has the PUJ. Then as you say some day/timing changes to other routes.

Heslop, the family own a big estate up there and they come a few times a year to shoot the grouse and pesants.

Maybe the pesants are grousing too much....hence they get shot.. perhaps Mr. Heslop (post 2581) can explain.



sorry about that...couldn't resist it.
