apaul
apaul dont say thats just press talking. Look at DTV and BMI those rumours started nearly 18 months ago and now look what has happened the route has now gone!!
I dont think that we will lose the heathrow route altogether but maybe get reduced to 3 x daily from the current 6???
How are the loads on the heathrow route over the last few months compared to last year??
Easyjet STN was 5 x daily now 2x daily so maybe BA are looking to reduce there flights the same as EZY
sad news about cimber pitty they couldnt just keep it 3x weekly??
instead of none at all

If any of you guys have read the DTV thread you would a worked out that Hugh Lang is a grade 1 t****r and that DTV would arguably have been better off had he never been born ! All he has done in his press release is another pathetic attempt to cover his own backside inferring that it is an inevitable trend that all regional LHR services will decline, when in effect the seeds in respect of the demise of the DTV - LHR route were sown many years ago when he occupied the position of airport director. Maybe those at Peel are sufficiently gullible to fall for his latest rant, but surely no one else should be stupid enough to take anything the guy says seriously.
As for NCL then if Dave Laws can learn from DTV on "how not to do it" then I see no reason to buy into any unfounded rumours as to BA & LHR!

Last year Flybe announced that it's future expansion plans from NCL involved mainly Scandinavia and Germany.
With the Copenhagen route being withdrawn in May, they have a one off opportunity for a smooth transition in service.
I hope the airport is talking to them.

Heard on the grapevine today that Thomsonfly are in negotiations over their handling at Newcastle. Probably just wanting a better deal from Swissport, but could this be a major scalp for Servisair?

They seem pretty happy at Swissport, however quite agree that they could be trying to get a cheaper deal. My own opinion would be stay with Swissport, they would be the only big charter contract at Swissport and therefore hopefully get a better service, but we all know that this is not always the case. Besides in previous years, NCL has been the only non Servisair handled station for BY/TOM - not sure if that is of any significance?

I have never known an airport like NCL for rumours. For the sake of all staff, do hope it is not true, from my travel experiences never had any problems with Swissport.

Operational upgrades
Just read the memo re the work to be undertaken by the airport on upgrading R/W 25 to CAT3 ILS and the study of PRNAV approaches. Will be quite a lot of work in getting everything in place for a few months.
Also, the airport (ATC) is currently in talks with Manchester ATCO to have some of the decent restritions removed. Good to see all these forward steps being taken that will put the airport in a good position when / if the recovery starts.

Nice to see the Dom Rep back for 2010 - still wonder why it was dropped for this summer, having operated during 08 and planned for 2010?
Number of Turkey flights increasing for coming season, Saga Airlines/Onur Air due to operate a fair few now in addition to TCX/TOM. The euro must be affecting Spain etc

Dom Rep
Possibly dropped this year due to over capacity last year. Think Thomson had to make some price reductions in 2008 to sell the seats then, (not enough profit or even a loss) Not sure about the Monarch flight although expect something similar happened.
Perhaps the route can only stand one flight per week?.
Having said that I understand bookings for Dom Rep are up this summer so two flights may have been viable, one certainly would have been.
The other theory is aircraft availability this year.
Wonder if Thomas Cook group also do a Dom rep next year (Mon or TCX) and an Orlando.
