The NCL-SSH flights will have a limit of 196 pax. That will ensure the aircraft will be able to operate non stop.
However if the trouble out there stops and bookings pick up again and they decide to start selling more seats on the plane then a fuel stop will be required somewhere
Yes the hill does cause a few problems but I'm sure that these new sharklet airbuses won't have a problem.

The fast rising ground just off the end of Rw25 effects the engine out calculations. Each aircraft has to be able to maintain a sufficient climb gradient with one engine u/s to clear terrain by a set height. Under high weights some types can struggle to do this with the rising ground off runway 25.

Hi, SWBKCB.
The hill is the one which the bridleway is placed on and although not massive, it does have an effect on 25 takeoffs as previously mentioned. It also effects 07 landings but not much.

Is there any confirmation yet on Easyjet taking over the LGW route? Or Norwegian? Or British Airways? Or Thomas Cook? Or Thomson? Or Emirates? Or ANYONE?!?!
Hoping against hope someone picks it up and that it arrives at LGW by 06:00. Either that or it's an overnight taxi to Stansted, Heathrow or Gatwick, for £250 because getting to London by any other means in order to catch a 7am flight is absolutely impossible!
Anyway enough of my ranting does anyone know if easyjet will take it over?

Its all gone very quiet again....as well as Gatwick we are still waiting to hear if there will be new routes/additional aircraft from Jet2 (apart from the "NEW" routes to Krakow and Prague.....still no sign of Cork for summer 2014.
Bit of a random thought, but how about travelling down the night before and finding somewhere to stay? A crazy idea I know, but it might just work.
Otherwise, agree with ASH if/when somebody takes it over they'll not be getting to LGW for 6am

Yeah... I was very doubtful. I cant go down the night before because I have arrangements on the Friday night, but need to be in Rhodes by 17:00 on the Saturday. Earliest I can get there from NCL is via LHR and MUC arriving at RHO at 18:25.
Highwideandugly... I may take you up on that offer. I'll let you know closer to the time. Still 9 months to go.
I do hope 2014 is a good year, LGW and 2 more 757's from LS, I would class as good. A new, more affordable route to CDG would make it a very good year and somewhere exotic like Iceland or Morocco would make it outstanding.
