Viking
Saga Airlines have a number of weekly flights through NCL this summer, thursdays and saturdays. Are Viking operating them all with 738 equipment? This a/c should have no trouble flying NCL-DLM/BJV. However the MD equipment being used on some of the adhoc charters to INN/VRN in theory should have no restrictions as short flights, however if it is to fly to one off HER then I have to agree it will be chaos! Last years events with this flight hit the headlines nationally.

So is it staying throughout or not?

EZY's
At the moment they have 737's KF, JW, KE and A319's FF and AE. I haven't heard anything official about a 6th arriving but have heard it discussed that we're expecting one. Not sure when though. Will probably be a third A319 NCL gets.
SAGA flights are being operated using B738's.

Sam, this isn't meant to be a spotters forum. It's a sad state of affairs when reg numbers are the topic of conversation in a forum like this. I think there are one or two specialist spotter organisations for Newcastle, Air North springs to mind but sure others can confirm.

A was wondering what the reg was aswell so anyhelp would be welcomed!
As a new poster to these forums I feel that everyone is intitled to their say and ask whatever questions they want - after all the question is about an airline based at newcastle...!

I think the point is it isn't a spotters forum and there is a seperate thread and discussion area for spotters as well as other sites. This is meant to be a rumour network regarding airport ops. Not suggesting you don't use Pprune but try the spotters forums.

It was said on here a while back that NCL will be an all 319 base for Easyjet. If this is true, and if like previous seasons they are basing 6 aircraft at NCL for the summer, I would imagine another aircraft would be a 319. Though that will likely depend on how many NCL crews are now passed for the Airbus.
I am also told that EZY will be sending in an extra 319/320 to do the flights to Malta, though this will be a STN based aircraft flying Stansted-Newcastle-Malta-Newcastle-Stansted. As always, this information comes to me second hand, so may well be inaccurate.
RTG!

RE: Thomson Airways
NCL based aircraft:
B757W is G-BYAY (The only ex-TOM a/c with winglets - the other B757 with them fitted are ex-FCA ones)
B757 is G-BYAW
B738W is G-FDZP (one of the newest to the fleet)
The majority fleet is to be fitted with winglets over a period of time.

I thought the new SAGA airlines charters were going to be operated by Viking Airlines under some kind of contract? SAGAS own aircraft operated yesterday evenings DLM service!
