I'm inclined to agreee, Graham.
Jet 2 could well adjust these (advance) frequencies in the light of future bookings or reviewing how each route has performed this summer. They will probably be planning to introduce a few new destinations next summer, which will probably need another aircraft.

Given how strong the Jet2 and jet2Holidays brand is in the area now, I would imagine any possible new destinations would include Larnaca, Antalya, Kos and perhaps Zakynthos.
Could we also perhaps see Berlin or Budapest joing the scene?

NCL - NEW YORK
Here we go again!! Comments on news re New York direct routes. Doesn't look like NCL to NYC for a while yet. but why not via Dublin with Aer Lingus Regional (Pre-clearance of Border controls) arriving USA as domestic arrival, saving those long Queues! or even via Iceland with a new Newcastle-Keflavik Icelandair service. Nice stopovers and inbound Icelandic traffic into Newcastle (Shoppers and Revellers!.)
No mention of New York in this story, but Dubai double daily in three years!?!

Priceless journalism:
"The flights, which launched in 2007, now carry around 80,000 passengers a year with 11.5m tonnes of cargo imported and exported in their hold"
Do the maths !
Followed by:
"With a new, much larger, Ł186m Airbus 777-300ER serving Newcastle International nearly 24 hours a day from September, firms have been encouraged to grasp the opportunity for international trade."
Does that mean that there's an Airbus branded 777 continuosly taking off and landing ?

Going off the HMRC website:
"If two or more international flights are connected, it is the final destination of the connected flight which determines the duty liability. If two or more international flights are not connected, then the duty liability is determined by the last destination which is not followed by a connected flight. Therefore a passenger whose ultimate destination is in a destination band with a higher rate will be liable to the lower rate of duty if he stops en route at a destination in a lower rate country for longer than 24 hours."
They determine "connected flights" as being less than 24 hours apart. Therefore doing your NCL-DUB-JFK same day transfer will attract the APD for routing through to JFK if I've understoood it correctly?

So, if time permits, 24 hours in wonderful Dublin courtesy of HMG?

Regional APD
Article from the Newcastle Journal:
"AIRPORT chiefs have welcomed news that the Government has commissioned research into varying air passenger duty on a regional basis. The news emerged during a meeting yesterday between bosses from Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley airports with Treasury minister Chloe Smith. It was arranged and attended by Sedgefield MP Phil Wilson and his Newcastle North colleague Catherine McKinnell.
The research, planned to be published this summer, will consider the potential impact of a regional Air Passenger Duty (APD) rate, as well as devolving the power to set the tax north of the border to the Scottish Government. The Journal’s A Tax Too Far campaign has highlighted fears about the impact that APD has on the region – with warnings it is acting as an economic brake on the region and that handing powers to Scotland would give it an unfair advantage."

Jet 2 Pula
Could be announced next week. Was always popular from NCL in the past. Dubrovnik up to 2x weekly for 2013, Prague down to 2x weekly from 3, Venice also down from 3 to 2x weekly.
Dont think any more aircraft coming to the base, perhaps a reshuffle of some routes for 2013??

JET 2/BA
PULA has now disappeared from the destinations list from NCL but of course it may appear again later when new routes for 2013 are announced.
LHR... It was noted in an earlier post that BA had reduced M-F frequencies to 5 daily...this has been changed to 6 daily but all operated with A319 aircraft.

BA LHR
The frequency has been reduced by one rotation per day from last Friday( 5 weekday, 3 Sats, 4 Suns) for about 4 weeks. Then it goes back to 6 per weekday, 4 Sats, 5 Suns, except for a week in Sept when it reduces again. The official reason is to do with the olympic games! apparantly other LHR domestics are similarily affected.
For the coming winter its currently 6 daily inc Sat,with 5 on Sundays.
However next Summer from the end of March its currently showing as down to 5 Weekdays, 3 Sats and 4 Suns for the whole summer!! producing some very long connection times at LHR especially at weekends. Lets hope its not finalised.
