NEWCASTLE - 8

With regard to business at EGNT. The airport is a gateway into the region. So I would suggest it must "cut its coat according to the cloth". (Prov.*to plan one's aims and activities in line with one's resources and circumstances)
The NE is much worse than most other regions for...
1. Those in receipt of out of work payments.
2. Children having underage pregnancies.
3. Young adults not in education employment or training.
4. Working age adults wanting paid work , with low pay or those with limiting or long standing illness or disability.
5. Older people with limiting or long standing illness or disability.
6. Communities in fuel poverty.
That is from the poverty.org.uk website.
From the BBC
Middlesbrough has the highest rate of unemployment of any local authority in the UK at 14.3%. The region also has the lowest employment rate in the country - 65.9% - with the rate falling significantly in the past year. The North East also has the highest economic inactivity rate with one in four people not contributing to the economy.
Finally to correct my earlier post ,from the FT.
This reflects the North East’s above-average dependency both on direct public sector employment – accounting for one quarter of its jobs, according to official data – and also on public spending which supports swaths of voluntary, creative sector and private sector employment.
In summary tell me how a weekly New York service is viable.

Granted we might be a little like that in the North East, but there are certainly a lot more local North-East people at my university than there are "external" counties ...
Now, back to the airport shall we?

Just had the latest March 2012 addition brochure through my door from Canadian Affair.
There is no mention of flights from Newcastle or Exeter in it to Toronto, so they are not selling it now I assume ?

Haha no certainly not. Wish I hadn't chosen that name now, I've worked for TCX for years then this year decided I'd take voluntary redundancy and was offered a job with Monarch, but I've decided to stay with TCX for the time being!
No idea who the A320 would come from? Small Planet Airlines?? Just a guess obviously

YYZ
Yes they are operating, all bookable on the TS website, weekly flights from YYZ on Tues to NCL via EXT, outbound from NCL on Weds non stop to YYZ. Timetable says A310, booking machine says A330, operated by Air Transat, haven't checked actual start end dates but assume May-Sept?

Interesting article I picked up on re Southend. They must have a team in place there that actually have a clue as to identifying their market & getting things done, as oposed to those at NCL who continue "Daydream" as to achieving a direct NYC service to the extent of all else.
The reality is that they have for over 15 years missed the way forward that has to be fair been noted on this thread on a regular basis :-
New Ireland & USA Gateway Opens with Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Aer Arann Route Launch | Latest News | LSA - Community Relations & News | London Southend Airport
One really does have to wonder who at NCL actually thought they would see a CO or an AA emblem on looking out of their "penthouse suite" windows

Can't believe someone is comparing Southend management team to ncl....!!!
Wow southend gets aer lingus to Dublin 3x daily on a 50 seater plane wow approx 150 seats a day. We have had a Dublin service for years now
NCL already has Dublin 2x daily 189 seater more seats!!!!
I'm sure our management team are really worried about what is happening at Southend!!!! I'm sure heads will roll over this... NOT
Get real......

Newcastle - Dublin
Agreed - Newcastle have good link with Ryanair on 2x Daily service. However I wonder if point being made by Southend comparison is an Aer Lingus service, ticketing through to New York with pre-clearance of US Border controls in Dublin (or Shannon) would be a great advantage & may even be preferred to waiting "for ever & a day" for a direct Newcastle/NYC route with long queues at New York immigaration and customs clearance. Aer Lingus with pre-clearance means arriving in US in the same way as a domestic passenger.

Unsure where you are coming from, as you clearly have totally missed the point which is that Southend have achieved route timing on their DUB schedules that actually fit in with timings on transatlatic connections and are able to codeshare and are MARKETING these as such.
This is something that has never been achieved at NCL even though as you quite correctly state
as to whether DUB has a 100 or 1,000 seats daily is also of NO RELEVANCE, as has little else in your outburst !

When I worked at Lunn Poly in the early 90's we used to sell shed loads of EI tickets from NCL all over the States and Canada, I am sure it would work again if the timings were right and connections not too bad....

Aer Lingus have had several attempts at offering a service between NCL and Dublin, the last attempt made no attempt at a USA/Canada connection vis-a-vis timings. All attempts have usually been swamped by Ryanair and led to a withdrawal of service.
