I think APD has cut off any hope of YYZ returning in the forseeable future.
I see Qatar have announced EDI now, it'll be interesting to see if that impacts on EK loads at NCL and GLA.

I don't think QR will effect NCL too much, I just hope EK doesn't go into EDI all guns blazing with a daily 777 starting before QR, EK like to do that...
Instead I hope that they compete away from EDI by increasing at GLA and hopefully NCL in a few years. Someone on a.net suggested an A380 to GLA. With the EK lounge being built there and all, is it a possibility?
Thanks

P.S would a fully loaded 737 700/800 get off the runway at NCL en route to St Johns?
EDIT: St Johns is closer than SSH, should be ok, still doubtful though.

Don't go through if it's a cold day!
Passengers at nine further airports are to face full body security scanners, the government has announced.
The machines scan through clothing, producing a naked image of passengers so officials can check whether they are concealing anything.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin also announced that those who object to being scanned would be able to request an alternative, private search.
Currently, anyone refusing to go through the machine is not allowed to fly.
The nine additional airports where the scanners will now be in use are Belfast City, Bristol, Cardiff, East Midlands, Glasgow Prestwick, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, Luton and NEWCASTLE.

They are not looking at your private parts!
It's a media led story which ought not to stand up to a moments scrutiny.

Me too, and having recently had a bad experience with a very obnoxious young lady at NCL who was insistent ALL electrical equipment needed to be removed from hand luggage including phones, mp3 players, games, kindles etc. not just laptops, when I asked when the rules had changed I was told in no uncertain terms to comply with her request or not fly!

And yet some airports don't ask you to take laptops out of your bag at all.
I genuinely forgot a few years ago, twice, to take the fluids out of my hand luggage and the scanners didn't spot them so what is the point???

they're not quicker - in the current system you walk through a doorway and,if you are lucky, that is that and you keep walking to collect your carry on stuff from the xray scanner belt
The new scanners mean EVERYONE has to walk in, stand with their hands in the air for about 10 seconds and then exit - it doesn't sound like much but it really slows the flow

then can you say why this flight does not appear on the MAN arrivals board but on the NCL arrivals board?
These are the TOM flights that arrived at MAN from Lisbon.
TOM2679 14:25 Lisbon Arrived 15:35
TOM2697 14:45 Lisbon Arrived 16:07
Just because it may have left MAN this morning does not mean it will return to MAN.

I'm not saying it's just MAN, I know it could have been scheduled to return to a different airport instead of MAN. I was only making the assumption of it being diverted from MAN, which I probably shouldn't have, because it departed from there this morning. I understand your point and I should have perhaps worded my post better.
I am, however, almost certain TOM do not fly to LIS from NCL. So if anybody could shed any light of why it's came to us, please do.
