Do you know who the Monarch SFB is flying for. I presume its in addition to the TOM service.
Jet 2.com, Good to see them expanding again.
Shame that EZY continue to stagnate at NCL, cant remember when the last new route was launched.
Re Skyman771 and aircraft age. Yes they are elderly, but from NCL this year seem to have been quite reliable I believe. As well as the airlines you quote the likes of BA and KL are also flying some rather old machines in particular the 747s. However I suppose as long as they are well maintained they can go on for a while ( few years ) yet. Eventually they will obviously have to be replaced at some stage though.
Wonder what TCX will do from NCL next summer ? Four aircraft again ?

TCX summer 2012
I think all eyes are on TCX for next summer to see what they do. The plan is still 4 based aircraft but how many are TCX and how many based is still to be confirmed.... Would be nice to see more foreign airlines going back into ncl.... IWD, AEA, JKK etc .....

............................. lots of opinions at present and very little fact / evidence produced.
Surely if this was true, then this would already have been announced and flights on sale?
Great to see some expansion at Newcastle through Jet 2 and MON.
I don't understand your logic of wanting easyjet gone. Surely we need some competition on certain routes to ensure the traveling public get value for money and no airline gets a monoply of operating on that specific route with potentially higher charges.
You think there's demand to fill a B733 Madrid? I'm sure a spanish carrier has just commenced flights from Madrid to a British regional airport recently and that's only on a CRJ.

What else we got to look forward to?

KLM S12 still 5 x Daily, although one of these flights is upgraded to a 737, rather than all 5 flights being operated by Cityhopper.
Still expecting some news on the Emirates front within the next few weeks, we shall see what happens.
With LoganAir/FlyBe/ScotAirways/Suckling basing a Do328 at Norwich, I wonder if we could see a daily link there? Not sure how much demand there is, but it has to be better than taking the train. Althoiugh, with the hike in APD, it probably wont happen.

from routesonline:
UK low-fare carrier Jet2.com is to introduce a sixth aircraft at its Newcastle International Airport base in North East England next summer enabling it to expand its network to 27 destinations with the addition of four new routes. The airline will offer flights to Bodrum, Rome, Reus and Venice from the end of May 2012, strengthening its position as offering the largest network of destinations from the airport six years after it first launched operations there. This latest announcement will see Jet2.com introduce eight weekly flights on these four new routes from Newcastle International with a three times weekly services to Venice; two flights per week to Reus and Rome and a weekly rotation to Bodrum. All four destinations are already served by the airline from its other northern UK bases. In October, Jet2.com also announced plans to launch flights to the Croatian city of Dubrovnik from Newcastle International with a weekly flight between June 9, 2012 and October 6, 2012 offering a mix of seat-only deals and package breaks through its sister company Jet2holidays. Alongside the new routes the carrier will boost frequencies to Cork, Dalaman, Faro, Krakow, Mahon, Malaga, Palma and Prague next summer. Jet2.com currently accounts for 7.7 per cent of the weekly scheduled seat capacity from the airport, placing it as the fourth largest operator behind easyJet (25.6 per cent), British Airways (18.5 per cent) and Flybe (13.0 per cent), but this figure will grow notably following these new route announcements. It revised capacity introduces a further 80,000 passenger seats per annum on its new flights, taking its total seat availability at Newcastle International to over 600,000 per year. “We have been closely monitoring the success of this airport over the past year and we believe there’s real potential for this region,” explained Ian Doubtfire, Managing Director, Jet2.com. “We see exciting horizons for our organisation right here. That’s why, contrary to many other operators at the moment, we have decided to invest for the coming year and really focus and plan for a strong future in the region”. The airline has had a successful summer at Newcastle International carrying more than 500,000 passengers to its city and sunshine destinations, a 56 per cent increase on the previous year. It anticipates a similar rise in 2012 as a result of its investment into the airport. “Civil Aviation Authority data has told us that over 200,000 people from the airport’s catchment area travel to other UK airports to reach Mediterranean destinations. We hope these brand new developments will encourage the travelling North East public to choose their local airport,” added David Laws, Chief Executive Officer, Newcastle International Airport.

Monarch Airlines is to offer flights to Orlando Sanford International from both Cardiff and Newcastle airports next summer on behalf of its sister companies. The carrier is offering a weekly schedule from each destination between May and August on behalf of independent tour operator, Cosmos, and sister flight only provider to the trade, Avro as well as up to twice weekly flights from London Gatwick and Manchester and a limited offering from Glasgow between June 28 thru July 12. Florida is the most popular long-haul tourist destination from the UK, with many attractions including Disneyworld and Universal Studios, numerous shopping malls and stunning beach resorts, although passengers from both South Wales have had to travel to other UK airports since 2008 to fly there: Newcastle already has flights to Orlando with Thomson Airways. Around 2.2 million passengers are estimated to have travelled between the UK and Florida on scheduled flights during the past year, up 2.2 per cent on the previous 12 month period. “2011 has been a hugely successful year for us in terms of sales to Florida. We have had terrific support from theme parks, hoteliers and other suppliers keen to help us promote the destination and it has really paid off,” said Hugh Morgan, Managing Director, Tour Operations, the Monarch Travel Group which includes sister companies, Cosmos and Avro. “The time is right to extend our programme to include more regional departures and we are delighted to be able to include Cardiff and Newcastle in this expansion.”

If Ezy manages 25.6% of NCL seats with just 3 based aircraft, why will Jet2's 5 based aircraft only represent 7.7% of seats ? (and vs BE @ 13%). ? Simple maths would therefore suggest that EZY has the planes in the air nearly 6 times more than Jet2 - is that correct ?

So what the numbers are down by 3% in October and 2% in November. Does it really matter??? What matters is whether the revenue is up or down surely and that we'll never know will we? So I would not lose any sleep over what is a miniscule year on year variation in passenger numbers.

Slightly OT but I stayed in the Doubletree last night after arriving back for a swift Christmas present drop off.
Really nice hotel with a lovely restaurant and bar. At last a hotel that offers something for a business or higher value traveller ahead of the god awful Britannia

All the A343 (8 in total) and some A332 will leave by year end (calender year 2012 or EK financial year 2012/2013?).
In the near future all A332 as well as B772 and B773 will leave. EK will focus on A350 (whenever they'll come), B77L, B77W and A380.
EK is growing so NCL will grow as well.
