Tel Aviv
I work for the local Planning Authority and I have colleagues who work for Gateshead Council in the planning department. Since I am sitting in work slightly bored today I have been chatting to my uni friends who are also in work and my friend who works for Gateshead was discussing his workload and various applications. A proportion of them are for the jewish community who live in Gateshead.
So in my state of not wanting to work and being in the office, I have been catching up with PPRune, and then got thinking after a discussion with my colleague about holidays. I explained that I was booking flights to India and Emirates was cheapest from Newcastle than BA, KLM, Air France, etc. He said that he was looking up JET2 flights to Rome for his birthday and that double the price was in taxes and charges. We got onto this aswell as I found my Emirates flights on a price comparision travel wesbite for £23 pound cheaper than quoted on Emirates website.
I also got thinking about whether a flight to Tel Aviv would be possible from Newcastle, espcially with the large Jewish population in Gateshead? This could be once or twice a week like Manchester with Jet2, or Luton with El Al?
I hope everyone had a good festive holiday.

seems to be a "steady as she goes" year for Flybe at NCL with no expansion to be seen. I note that Paris (CDG) now appears in the timetable with BE flight numbers...these must be an Air France code share. Doubt it we shall see a based EMB next year.

Looking at the summer timetable it seems TCX may be changing the based units next year, some flights are showing as A320 I haven't worked through it in detail but we might not see 4x757 next summer, the demise of AEU might have contributed to this as they provided one plane this year?

I glanced at it earlier and it looked to me like it was still 4 based aircraft. Could it be a combination of 757s and A320s? Do they have spare capacity to allocate 2 extra aircraft to NCL this Summer?

Flybe Paris
Well the AF timetable is still showing Cityjet Avros for next summer, so maybe the BE route is an addition. Or are you talking about BE taking over the route from the winter?

The Flybe timetable for Paris is current and for next summer, pretty sure its just a code share with Air France.
Thomas Cook, they no longer seem to fly NCL - ACE for summer 2012

Air Transat are using Airbus A330's when they return for the 2012 season, not sure if they will be 200's or 300's
airtransat Maintains Porto & Shannon Service in S12 | Airline Route
Following airtransat routes will be cancelled in Summer 2012:
Toronto – Exeter – Newcastle

Oh dear. Has always been a bit of a hit and miss route, but must be marginal if needing to be a split load in first place- The A330 was maybe just too big. Not sure I would like a "via" route after a transatlantic.
Odd that it is still bookable on TS website, but I guess that doesnt always mean anything.

As a side note, its still bookable.
With the cancellation notice being so brief, and the way its worded, its hard to say if its:
a) A mistake
b) in the process of being cancelled
c) being cancelled after the 2012 season

"Airline Route updates" are generally pretty good, however surely TS NCL will be kept..Think 310s are still operating into MAN next summer so NCL could still get one.
