Emirates.
Yes there using 777-200 and 777-200LR on some Mon and Tue flights I think over the next couple of weeks or so. Then its back to all 777-300ER.?
Dont know why. Operational reasons as they say?
Ryanair.
Dublin reducing to once daily from November, except Fri and Sun where it stays twice daily.

The changes in aircraft type seem to be pre planned and are reflected in the booking system. So obviously they will only sell the seats available for that aircraft type presumably factoring in there overbooking policy whatever that is.
They are not last minute changes and appear to be only on certain days for a short period of time.
I would think its due to aircraft availability not poor loads. However only time will tell us the answer to that.
Ryanair. Didnt realise that happened last winter, thanks.

Have loads been affected by the Hajj in a similar way to Ramadan?
This month BHX has seen 11 three class 77W's out of 16 flights and similar at the end of last month.
On checking libhomeradar it appears 13 or the 14 I have listed as two-class are in use with one clearly not as it has not flown for a month.
I have also noticed EK96 Rome has been a two-class for several weeks and this was definitely a three class service with the A380 operating the afternoon.
Boeing have been dispatching 77W's from the factory quite regularly recently and even Airbus delivered two A380's to them last week so they are getting aircraft in but of course some A332's & A343's are due to leave.
I was a little surprised at the speed of the upgrade based on the CAA stats but EK have the yield figures and must have been confident. Maybe the 772ER would have been a better stepping stone but again that is another sub-fleet allegedly on the way out although four are still flying with three in 42/304 configuration.

There seems to be fleet rotation going on around the network generally. The morning MAN service has been a B772 several times recently instead of the usual B77W.

I thought there was performance issuses with the 772ERs from NCL, hence the upgrade straight to the 77W?
Anyhow, 772ER A6-EML on it's way in today, so I suppose we will find out.

I thought there was performance issues too! However yesterday's flight was operated by a 777-200LR, seems like it coped well with landing and take off, we'll from a rookie point of view!

The field performance of all variants of the 777 are available from the boeing website. The characteristics on a matrix of field height & temp variations are reflected on some very interesting graphs.
http://www.boeing.com/commercial/air...s/7772sec3.pdf
The above link will enable you to extract some of the detail, there are other pdf's for basis 772's
Quick review & noting NCL's conditions approach those of "std day" data & 7,650ft, then it would suggest that :-
772 tow is c.543,000 / mtow 545,000,
772LR tow c.685,000 / mtow 766,000 &
773 c.545,000 / mtow 660,000.
obviously this is basic data, but would suggest to me that a 772LR & 772 could take off without compromise to pax & frieght, with ample fuel for NCL-DXB sector.
Other types then there are definite compromises, possibly greater on 300 versions.
It has to be noted that should temp rise by 20 degrees or more & there are obviously compromises all round. Though this is not too regular in NE England.

Easyjet: New Jersey Route?
Easyjet App showing Newcastle to Jersey as a new route. Currently unavailable to book but Easyjet forum speculating that new routes could be bookable by end of the week. Watch this space . . .

Thanks Skyman interesting reading... think its back to 773 today... nice variation if you ask me. I work just under the approach end to 25 and knew something didnt seen quite right when I seen it come in the other day 
Wonder if EK operate that type into any other fields with a shorter runway than ours ?

Easyjet route confirmed, TUE and SAT from March
Wonder if Flybe survive with the competition. They have reduced frequency on the route to 4 weekly from 5 (summer 2013) before this announcement.

Jet2 have strong presence, but schedules are restrictive for short breaks and pricey in comparison to EZY

Just searched Flybe site for the random dates 14-18 May 2013. Return trip NCL-JER-NCL without hold baggage is £110. EZY should be able to better that methinks.
