No disrespect to anyone laid off to the airpot, its a tough time for anyone in aviation, not just those working directly for an airline. However, I have one question.... are the staff security staff? I use NCL on a VERY regular basis, and have worked from NCL airport for 10 years now, I am curious to know why there are several security screening points, yet ive NEVER seem them all in use at the same time, I regularly come through about tea time on a sunday when the airport is slightly busy (and this is winter.. summer is worse) and there is only ever 1 security screener on, no fast track, so all those passengers end up pushing into the normal Q, that followed by staff and crew going airside makes for a long wait, IF the fast track is in use ive seen staff stand idle on that machine not allowing the rest of us to use it while its free? and its not the first time i have joined the Q for security at the top of the esculator and stood in line for upto 45 mins!! You can get through LGW and LHR quicker than that!!

Just a thought, when i heard NCL airport might need to shed staff im praying its not security staff!!

quite a lot of new jobs created in security the last few weeks, so i doubt the loss is through them. They seem to be very understaffed if nothing else

Security was as thin as it could be - couldnt get any thinner, IT & admin was effected but that wouldnt account for all 10.

Flybe to Birmingham?

Flybe's sale page at Flybe.com - Up to Half Price flight sale has Newcastle to Birmingham listed as a new route, yet you can't actually book it and it does not appear in the timetables section. Anyone know whether they are actually going to fly the route?

Another result of FR's dismay at Irish Government? Drastic reduction in capacity now from NE to Ireland, with Shannon and Galway gone and DUB reduced.

Flybe BHX I have often wondered when this route would pop up? Who knows if it is going to happen?

Most Summer 2010 brochures (short haul anyway) being delayed until July this year so agents can concentrate on selling this summer. So will have to wait longer than normal this year

Was reading about a ATC sim thats just opened at Newcastle. Anyone any insider news on this? How much does it cost?

Makes me sound like a bit of a geek but think it'd be a bit of fun one afternoon!

FlyBe

If you go on the drop down list on the site, for NCL it has listed:

ALC/AMS/AUN/BHD/EGC/BES/CWL/EXT/FAO/GCI/HAJ/JER/LRH/LIG/LGW/AGP/NCE/LDG/PGF/RNS and SOU


EDIT: Realised, most are NCl-SOU/EXT-Then to that dest.

The travel tax has not been dropped, and is unlikely to be dropped anytime soon. Shannon remains axed and Dublin remains reduced.

Given that the Irish economy is well and truly shagged, way beyond the UK's, they have gone for the "we're skint tax 'em all" option rather that "monetary easing" so expect more taxes from the emerald isle in the next emergency budget not less. BIFFO is making his mark.

EZY

Happy Days. Is that the 3rd aircraft being based up here or is it replacing one of the 2 already up here?

NCL only just broke the 5 million pax mark in 2008. Almost 600K down on 2007.

Could have been a lot worse I suppose with all the service cuts/lost routes etc.

SAGA Airlines

SAGA Airlines of Turkey will operate a summer series of charters on behalf of a tour operator to DLM and BJV. These replace the former FHY and XQ flights. Anyone hazard a guess as to what equipment will be used and whats SAGA's reputation?
