On the East Midlands thread they are saying with the new routes announced they have now overtaken Newcastle for next summer with the number of routes from the airport. Is Newcastle due to have anymore route announcements or is summer 2014 finalised for the airport? Are we still having 6 based aircraft or 7?

Incident
Apparently a LS 733 hit a flock of birds departing NCL. Returned safely to land, but did cause 2 flights to divert and some delays.
EDIT: It was LS353 to Krakow

Replacement aircraft has just arrived from EDI G-GDFE - Anyone know why BA1333 is delayed almost 3 hours after arrival? Got some friends on board who may miss a connection

Thats not a replacement aircraft, that was the aircraft that was diverted after the incident. It flew to EDI and has just returned to NCL. Also the BA was holding for quite a while earlier waiting for clearence to land so that will have caused some of the delay.

Yeah it does seem like a long time, but a EZY a319 was diverted to MME and that got back to NCL at around the same time as the LS, ohh and I hope your friends make their connections down in London.

DXB 40% up is very good indeed an long may it continue!!!
Can we see this route hit 20,000 pax a month before the end of December 2013??
Looking at the DUS figures it just shows that certain routes need to be double daily for good figures. Once daily is no good for connections or business trip! Lets hope we can keep the route but long term if it doesn't go back to double daily I can see this route being dropped all together !

Brilliant news about Emirates, 40% is astounding! Too bad they have never, do not and never will make money from Newcastle. They'll probably pull out in a few months 
In all seriousness I don't know where the naysayers get all their "info" from. 6 years later people! 6 years!
Anyway, hopeful we may break 5 million pax this year. Would be good to see again soon.

Dubai
August pax 18544 divided by 62 sectors which equals 299 per flight.
Designated aircraft B77W 428 seats giving an August load factor 69%.
What happened in reality was 7 x 77L, 16 x 3-class 77W's and just 8 x 2-class 77W's, which actually brought the load factor up to around 83%.
I think most would agree a load factor on EK of 83% is pretty good and the only worrying aspect is nearly three quarters of the flights were down-graded from the "usual" aircraft.
As I am sure 10 DME ARC can confirm Ramadan affected the early part of August with BHX also receiving a few three class 77W's although the load factor was over 90% as was Glasgow and Manchester.
Definitely will be interesting to see how EK develop further in the UK outside of London although I am sure they will pleased to get NCL almost up to 300 per flight.

Olton - Yes Ramadan effect hits big time, Dubai empties in summer as well. From what I can gather Emirates really pleased with the route, it was certainly very full coming back to DXB last Wednesday with a few lucky punters being upgraded joining us in J.
