Nothing is wrong with the M62, which is why the team coach (and all the kit) travels on it. And meets the players at the airport. Last time i was there during a football charter.
The coach drives hundreds of miles, with just the bags, meets the players, takes them from airport to hotel/stadium and back, then drives back empty!

Probably low loads, same for BHX, GLA & MAN in May/June as
it is the l"ow season". The CAA stats show this pattern every
year.
BHX usually get the odd 772 or 332 instead of the 77W.
All returns to normal by July.

It will be very interesting. Theres a lot of rumours coming out of Eastern at the minute.
Including
NCL-MME-LCY
NCL-BHX-CWL (Which to be fair would make a lot of sense as opposed to the two flights as stands now)
I fly regularly with T3 between NCL-SOU and would be very surprised if the connection was lost altogether, despite the competition from Flybe. NCL-ABZ is also very lucrative.
Anyone know if the LPL route will be a Saab or a J41?

EI
From what I remember EI suspended flights over summer last year too
When I asked EI, being based for work in Dublin they said, and I quote
'We only operate over the football season into Newcastle'
Whether this will now cease as Keane has now departed Sunderland is another question BUT I think they'll be back as they were last time around from August/September

Theres a lot more Irish interest in Sunderland than just Roy Keane. As far as I am aware Sunderland are owned by a consortium of Irishmen, under Niall Quinn.
Seems funny that football is a good enough reason to justify a daily 320.

EI's considerably better flight times (for leisure travellers at least) and it's overall standard of service over FR are welcome.
Now that MME has lost its route (which I'm sure had a flight similar to EI's afternoon flight to NCL) it would be nice to see EI move in on that.
And yes, Sunderland were owned by an Irish consortium but are now owned by an American investor called Ellis Short
From what I recall the football is the reason Aer Arran started into Cork too

EI's times were more humane but too late to connect to any transatlantic services so no use to through travellers.
Aer Arran operated to Galway which is great for a weekend away but not much else. The public transport options from Galway were very poor and the flight arrived too late to go on to anywhere else. The only public transport options down the West Coast were by bus as the train services only link back to Dublin in reality. The Shannon flight is now gone making travel into Ireland challenging.

Hello everyone,
I've just got back from EGNT to find there was a Kuwait Airways A300-600R (9K-AMC) on the north side. After asking a few spotters up there i was informed it arrived just after 6am and i was there to see it depart which was around 10:30ish. Does anyone have any idea why this aircraft was in?!
Thanks all,
Alan

Just a guess, but could be picking up currency from that place in Gateshead (de la... something). Quite a few different airlines pop in from time to time on that contract.
