With regards to Easyjet starting TFS, they will be operating it with the A319, or that is how it stands as yet but I would be surprised if that does not change especially at peak times. I'm assuming this route is the reason for the reshuffle of their routes at the beginning of this year then? Nice to see something from EZY anyway, hopefully there may be some more soon. Another one of your brand new, shiny A320's please?

Pier
I flew through the airport on Wednesday, and while the majority of the airport is fairly modern, departure lounge great with the floor to ceiling windows heading down towards the gates is like entering another airport. Paint peeling on the doors and walls, sad tired looking seats in the gate lounges, a lonely half filled vending machine and old style arcade games which no one plays sitting in the corner. The airport needs to redevelop this area in my opinion, I tweeted them about it and they said that had no plans to refurbish the pier which is a shame as it's not in keeping with the rest of the airport.

NCL had the 2nd highest growth in the UK-Dubai market but even with the growth, it looks like 60% loads. You can see why there was suggestion of A330s for the winter but it's the unknown quantity of cargo that could be making sure the route is a 77W
Bdaily meets Newcastle International Airport chief, David Laws | Bdaily Business News
back in October 2012, Australian private equity firm AMP acquired a 49% stake in the airport and David says the new shareholders are now fully integrated into operations and strategic direction.
David adds: “The bad weather made for a difficult start to the year, but in subsequent months we’ve seen some year-on-year growth. In May we saw just over 4.2% growth and in June we finished about 2% up. Now we’re into the busy summer period.

“There’s been a few challenges too. Flybe sold their slots into Gatwick so now we’re in discussion with easyJet who bought them. That’s a really important route for us and hopefully we will be able to convince easyJet that it’s the right thing to do,” adds David.
He continues: “Even during the hard times of the last five years we’ve been able to keep our market roughly the same. I’ve just looked at our scheduled international passengers for the last week and it’s 6% growth, year-on-year. That represents some significant growth with the likes of Air France-KLM and Emirates.
“This year we’ve had the benefit of the bigger aircraft from Emirates that just keeps breaking passenger records every month. That route has done so much for the region - business have been created as a result of it.
“At the moment the record is about 9,960 passengers in a month, but in July there’s a possibility that we could reach the 10,000 mark.”

a third less pax for CDG and DUS, what is that all about ? DUB a pretty big drop too. Are these all as a result of frequency changes ?
Is it a 773 always on NCL, as that would be a lot of empty seats if 60% loads were true. Who was the top DXB growth ?

Growth table:
LHR up 41.1% (wholly down to QF shifting reporting points as LHR-SYD was down 74%)
NCL up 25.1%
MAN up 16.2%
GLA up 14.7%
LGW up 14.5%
BHX up 07.7%
If low density 77Ws were used then we're talking around 72% loads.

Emirates to NYC??
Source from arabianbusiness.com
Emirates eyes up starting flights from the north of England to the USA to take on BA and VS!
In October they start Dubai-Milan-new York they have now Said they are hoping to do the same but from a north of England airport?
Could be Manchester as they are classed as north of England somehow.
Newcastle and Glasgow are also stated in the post as happy with the current Dubai flights and loads

Full Story. arabianbusiness.com. No Newcastle USA.
Dubai’s Emirates Airline has not ruled out entering the competitive transatlantic market, currently dominated by British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, and offer flights from Dubai to the US via the UK.
Emirates’ UK vice president Laurie Berryman said the Dubai carrier has seen “strong demand” and last year carried 800,000 passengers on its routes in and out of its hubs in the north of England.
“Glasgow is double daily and we upped the aircraft size. Newcastle went from an Airbus to a B777, so we are growing capacity there as well. Birmingham is twice daily, and one of the Manchester flights is an A380, with the other two being B777s,” Berryman was quoted as saying in an interview with trade publication Buying Business Travel.
Emirates in October will launch flights from Dubai to New York via Milan and Berryman hinted, if it could gain regulatory approval, it might not be long before the carrier enters the transatlantic market and offers flights from Dubai to the US via northern England.
“We do hold some rights out of the regions, so I would never say never. One of the things we are keen to say to the Davies Commission [UK Airports Commission], to relieve pressure on the south-east, is why don’t we make all the regional airports completely open skies, so anyone can fly anywhere. Heathrow sits in the south of England, but Manchester has a bigger catchment area in terms of a two-hour drive,” he said in the interview when questioned on the issue.
The transatlantic market is dominated by the likes of UK carriers British Airways and Virgin Atlantic and US players Delta Air Lines and American Airways. Aviation analyst Saj Ahmad, chief analyst at StrategicAero Research, said there is still obvious demand in the market for Emirates to capitalise on.
“With Emirates carrying over 800,000 passengers out of just four UK regional hubs, it is evident that there is more than enough brisk demand to launch direct flights to the USA from cities that the likes of BA do not operate long haul services from and that too would raise the appeal of Emirates.
“Emirates could flood the North Atlantic with swathes of Airbus A380s and 777-300ERs out of places like Birmingham and Manchester, two cities which are bursting with pent up passenger demand, tempered only by the lack of long haul airlines operating there, particularly for Birmingham,” he said, adding that if the Dubai carrier goes through with the plan “British Airways and Virgin Atlantic will be the big losers.”
