UPDATE: Apparently a distress/emergency signal and travelling over Yorkshire Moors currently back down south.

EDIT: Apparently a problem with one of the flaps and therefore diverted to Manchester because of the longer runway.

Answered my own question!

At least shes landed safely at Manchester, i wonder which 757 will cover the DLM rotation tonight or if we will have a chartered AC in.

Edit: G-FCLA is now positioning in from EMA

Pretty sure FCLA had a 7700 emergency call a couple of days ago too. Hope it isn't a sign of things to come.

Passenger survey (from the BBC):

.......Of the larger airports with four million or more passengers a year, Newcastle International came top with a customer rating of 69%.

I did notice and would have mentioned it, but I have just managed to get back online after a computer problem.

Very pleased to see it with an advert as well.

Indefinite delay marked on NCL's website so can only imagine its had a tech difficulty en route.

TCX

Hey guys Im new to this forum so would just like to say hi!
I can't believe the amount times a TCX a/c has gone wrong this summer, most I've ever seen at NCL.
And I do believe that the TCX NCL-DLM route is to operate everyday from next year! Turkey is really taken off in the last couple of years.

Does anyone know if Newcastle is in for anymore Jet2 routes next year? Heard we're finally going to 8 aircraft after a 1 year delay.

I would have thought with just 1 new route this year...PULA and the Alicante based flights changing to based a/c flights next year (assuming the frequency is held at 10 weekly), it looks a good possibility for at least 1 additional based a/c.

Maybe someone has more information.

Yeah that's what I'd thought too, we were supposed to go 4 733, 2 752 and 2 738 next year but instead a 733 went off somewhere and we got the Titan then the 2 738's went to LBA instead. Supposedly next year though, we're getting 2 of GLA's 752's because they're going all 737's. I don't know how reliable this information is so please do not quote me on it but it's what I've heard. I am dubious though as to whether it's true about the 738's being better suited to GLA than the 757's but who knows...

I really hope we have something though, just about every UK base has had quite a fair share of announcements. Jet2 has really lost momentum at NCL recently, seemingly favouring EMA and GLA with the normal/expected slight increases at LBA and MAN but NCL only gets Pula and 2 of the transatlantic triple oh well, at least it is still better than nothing, or a decrease though.

Best get to bed, I have a packed out Emirates 77W to catch in the morning. According to the seat map, prelim 293 Y pax and 42J pax (100%LF). I am unsure as to whether the seat map actually shows Y pax the proper J loads during online check in though. I'll ask the crew and post the proper loads on here sometime soon.

Thanks a lot,
Martin
