Skipness, how did you know??? :P

and Falcon 900LX, hmmm 752 vs 77W. Now that is actually a very tricky one...

Oh dear oh dear, either EZY will pick up LGW, leaving little hope for a STN/SEN route or BA may add another LHR flight and hike their prices up more.

Please this is a professional network could all the people who give opinions based on wether they like the look of the B773 or not or even less opinionated comments please go to the MME thread where you will find lots of comments on caravans and other non aviation events and leave this 'aviation' thread alone!

Isn't that what aviation is about, Whether the 77W looks good or not I thought it was (Sarcastic comment in case anyone didn't get it..)

Just noticed the Emirates arrival coming over Gosforth and turn towards the coast again.

Checked on Flightradar 24, and it had gone around.

Five minutes later, and it's back again! Anyone know what's happening?

Aye, just seen the same. Looks like a longer pattern this time back over the sea. The Southampton flight overflew the runway at 3k too.

Do you think with the loss of LGW flybe service Virgin Atlantic little red could introduce a new service to LHR or maybe even start domestic at LGW?

There is no longer enough demand on the route to warrant a new operator starting a 3 x daily A320 service. BE have for the last 5 years managed to do something that BA and LS both failed to do before them, thats make the NCL-LGW viable. They did this by matching capacity and frequency with demand.

The aircraft involved in the accident (g-kart) has been picked up by my radar the last few days flying so the aircraft must have been okay.

The tyre burst causing it to leave the runway

The Chronicle are reporting that Jet2 are adding a new destination from NCL: Portoroz (!) in Slovenia. The article wasn't too clear on if this is actually a new flight or if it 's just a new holiday destination served by the extant flights to Pula? The article did say that they already serve 25 destinations (i.e. airports rather than holiday resorts ) so it did look as if it's a new flight.
If it is, good luck to them, it's great to see a new destination. It's a gamble as it will take pax away from Pula and possibly even Venice.

Is Portoroz not a resort near to Pula and Porec. Used to be available with Yugotours and Airways via Pula not sure if it has an airport but could be wrong.

Correction it does have an airport with a 1200mtr asphalt runway.

HH6702 ... thanks for that. An unconventional way to get to Slovenia, but it'll do the job.
Fl Dutchman... It's in the little bit of Slovenian coast between Croatia and Trieste. Only about 40 or so miles from Pula , hence my surprise when I thought they were flying there direct. There is indeed an airfield there, but it looks on Google Maps like they'd struggle to get a 737 into there. Those Denim Air Fokker 50s will manage it though .
