Quite a number of flights by A320 now and so often full!

I see there has been yet another incident of a laser pen being shone into the cockpit of a NCL inbound, this time a 737 over the Washington area.

When will these idiots learn?

Newcastle voted No 2 in Skyscanner survey for the friendliest airports in the UK, Edinburgh came top, Luton voted rudest.

NEWCASTLE UNITED

I haven't noticed a flight to Athens on the boards ready for the match tomorrow.

Did they fly out of Newcastle?

Thats a good start to the programme.....Athens come to NCL for next Thursday's game. At least a boost to the airports traffic figures.

Yes, purchase a coffee or similar from one of the catering outlets ask for a code and you get something like 30 minutes wi-fi access.

NCL was very, very quiet when I flew from there (to LHR) on Thursday (23/8) lunchtime...

And very quiet when I flew back on Sunday night .....

SLFLurker - and your point is what exactly as I am puzzled? What are you comparing it to? MME? Same time last year? LHR? - GAXLN

Hi all, my best mate is flying the first EK777 into NCL on sat, he has just had a brief from the company as they are planning a Water Canon reception. I can't remember seeing a spectators gallery recently. Is there one at the airport? I remember that there used to be one on the roof but that was a long time ago when I flew into NCL doing my PPL qualifying cross country.

My guess is that as there is no money to be made, sorry I meant that as it is a security risk - that the balcony no longer exists. He was planning to wave to people who had come to watch, but doesn't know where they are going to be??

I guess the people coming to watch will be southside, at Samson. Any Advice??

Cheers

Gaxln - it just surprised me that was all. I just assumed that it would be busier with charters etc.

The plane back from LHR was full to the brim.

SLFLurker - depends on the day of week as to whether its busy as charters depart/return at varying times. First thing in the morning it's certainly buzzing. Hope you enjoyed your visit. GAXLN.

Easyjet @ MAN/EDI

Hi

Looks like EDI is getting 2 extra aircraft for Summer 2013 and MAN is getting at least 1 but more likey 2 aircraft....

Lets hope these are new aircraft that are joining the fleet and NOT aircraft from another base i.e NCL????

Was hoping that EZY may make NCL a 4 aircraft base again but this looks very unlikey.... Well lets hope that we turn to an all A320 base instead??

Not heard anything that indicates any planned EZY expansion at NCL for 2013. May be quite a bit of movement as to based aircrew though.
