In the sticky at the top of this forum, posted by PPRuNePop as moderator:
"This forum is for posting interesting events at Airports including the development of and therein. It's also for relating that which is of interest in regard to Airlines at airports - the scope is wide but it should not be overstated. And lastly, it is for posting information of interest in regard to routes but NOT for advertising routes or procedures.
Finally, it is intended that it be ever professional. PPRuNe has a wealth of talent which is freely available from the Flight Deck and Cabin, thru operations and airline infrastructure. It is this that is of interest to the airline fraternity and those with a genuine interest in how it all works.
So, if you fit the above you are welcome.

And from Evileyes:
"Due to of another spate of misdirected posts needing deletion we regrettably must again remind you that the 'Airlines, Airports and Routes' forum isn't the spotters forum. If you ever find yourself tempted to type in a registration number or discuss aircraft livery it is extremely likely that you are making or responding to a spotter post.
Neither is this forum interested in aircraft seating configuration, in flight entertainment, or which aircraft type is flying a particular route except as a component of a discussion of the business of the airline. The Passenger Forum might be."

Brilliantly put HiPennine.
As previously stated, this forum was once a pleasure to read and view, but as of late it has become some playground for these sorts of people to air their fantasies that are quite frankly exactly that - fantasies.
Please can this forum try and claw back some sort of pride and restore the once brilliant reputation it had by curbing recent posts that are filled with utter nonsense?
Thank you.

jonnyH, it was relevant to the happenings at Newcastle. The point I was making is that EK77WNCL's posts are not as they are his own personal fantasies that bear no relevance to the real world and events etc at Newcastle.

LCA and ZTH are (I hope) a given, just unfortunate it'll be 2015 and not 2014.
I think that by the end of 2014 one (or hopefully more) of the following will be announced:
Wizzair: Maybe Warsaw, Gdansk, Poznan etc... (x2-4 weekly, A320)
Vueling: Barcelona (x3 weekly A320)
Turkish: Istanbul (x4-5 weekly 739)
Then there are some that might happen later, 2-3 years time, if we are lucky, but I wouldn't get my hopes up:
SAS: Oslo and or Bergen (x4-5 weeky 736/CR9)
On the other hand there are the ones with potential that unfortunately will never happen due to various factors:
El Al: Tel Aviv (x2 weekly 737/738)
I'd be quite condifent of BUD from LS too.
Dare I say New York might happen in the next 20 years?
Cheers, some speculation for the new year. I've heard that Wizzair have considered NCL before and Vueling, so I heard, was almost confirmed but maybe not. Turkish are expanding very rapidly, SAS? Norway used to be strong, times change? Bergen Maybe? El AL, there are lots of orthodox Jews in Gateshead, the largest outside of Jerusalem and many will only fly EL Al so there is the possibility, but Newcastle might not be complient, I don't know.

The total Jewish population in the North East of England is around 3,500. London, Manchester and Leeds all have much larger Jewish populations (some 40,000 in Greater Manchester alone). I cannot see how this amount would enable NCL to sustain a TLV flight.
As for Wizz Air, a possibility I suppose but I believe the Polish population is declining.
Vueling, NCL already has EZY (BCN) and Ryanair (Girona) who serve the Barcelona market, I don't believe there would be enough room for a 3rd carrier. Palma, Alicante and Malaga could be possibilities as we know the Geordies love the sun.
Oslo, I don't think we'll see again. If anyone was to operate it, then possibly bmi in between the BRU flights.
I'd still like to see Santorini return, it's a nice holiday destination,

Sorry, my mistake. Gateshead has the largest Yeshiva in Europe and has one of the largest Orthodox (Haredi) Jewish populations in the UK/Europe. Although, yes 3500 people probably isn't enough to support the route, although some tourists would be attracted too.

I for one, no matter what religion, would be hopping on a plane to Gateshead (especially for religious reasons). 3500 Jews is no where enough to sustain a route. Half of them will be too tight to put their hands in their pockets...
