NEWCASTLE - 8

[HH6702]

SK -CPH

I was going to say the same for them to use the CRJ900...

if not could BM base a second ERJ and operate 2 x daily to CPH?
maybe add a middle rotation to somewhere in Germany?

[saladdodger]

It's probably already been mentioned on here but I see flybe are starting up a daily flight to ext again, could this be the start of their return to ncl? Their turbo props might not be everyone's cup of tea but surely there's plenty of market for them to exploit from the region, maybe even a bit of competition fo eastern and midland?

Livingston Airlines

I see that Livingston have now stopped flying and all aircraft returned to lessors

I wonder who will now operate the Saturdays Verona flights for summer 2015

[fjencl]

easyJet

easyJet flights have now been released and are available to book for travel up to 6 September 2015.

[apaul]

Looks like easyJet is stopping the Amsterdam route at the end of May and not flying to Menorca this summer. Timetable to Bristol is an improvement on this winter, though still no use for business travel on Tuesday and Wednesday. Jersey is three times per week.

[fjencl]

Tenerife south doesn't go past march 2015 either, but I am not sure if that's normal or not.

With the loss of Mahon, Amsterdam, Gatwick, does that mean they will be reducing the number of planes at Newcastle.

Not sure how many based aircraft they currently operate out of Newcastle, so just wondered.

[HH6702]

So the rumours of a 4th based aircraft won't be happening then

Still a little early but maybe they will be announced later

3based aircraft at the minute

Easyjet

Looks like the early morning Bristol flights is a Bristol based aircraft.

Let's try and put a timetable together for a week in August and let's see what it looks like

50% of LHR pax are connections... I thought it would have been a bit more, maybe 60-65%?

Sounds about right, a healthy mix of point-to-point and connecting pax. It's why NCL-LON flights go to LHR.

[Jamesair]

Last summer EZY were doing 83 round trips weekly next summer it will be 62 which is quite a reduction.

I have a feeling that there might be a couple of new route announcements to come to fill the spare capacity.

The only increases are Belfast from 14 to 15 weekly and Jersey from 2 to 3 weekly.

This is the current generation of EasyJet for you! If it's not LGW then EZY don't seem interested.

It's only LGW that has seen any real growth from EZY. Over the last 3 or 4 years, this has been the general picture:

- BFS and BRS are big but not really expanding at any fast rate, if at all
- Growth at EDI has been off-set by reductions in GLA
- Growth at MAN has been off-set by reductions in LPL
- New SEN base was more than off-set by reductions at STN...
- ...Now growth at LTN for S15 is offset by reductions in SEN and yet further cuts at STN
- And NCL has been no different, also seeing cuts across the network

It's such a shame but sadly the truth.

[SWBKCB]

Does the EZY schedule above include poss Triangle flights which have been op by BRS, BFS and NCL based a/c as in previous years (i.e. BRS-NCL-"X"-BRS and NCL-BRS- "Y" -NCL)

[GrahamK]

September Provisional stats:

Gatwick 10023 +32%
Heathrow 43974 +4%
Aberdeen 2530 -5%
Belfast City 2457 -35% (BFS no figures)
Bristol 13525 -5% (first decrease on BRS for a while IIRC)
Southampton 9202 +13%

Brussels 2598
Copenhagen 2011 +2%
Paris CDG 11830 -4%
Dusseldorf 3234 +9%
Cork 1486 -20%
Dublin 15222 +37%
Amsterdam 33090 +3%
Stavanger 1925 -8%
Dubai 19675 +3%

[MerchantVenturer]

Bristol 13525 -5% (first decrease on BRS for a while IIRC)

I would expect this to continue with fewer flights on the route this winter, and next summer at the moment. In addition, the timings this winter make day trips impossible except for Mondays and even here it would be a constricted day.

Thursday, Friday and Sunday do have two rotations per day but they are afternoon/evening flights. Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are just single rotations.

It wasn't so many years ago that there were four rotations on weekdays. There is an hourly direct rail service but it might be thought that the five hour journey time would make air the better option.

[Jamesair]

How embarrassing to read the EZY announcement today of big expansion at Amsterdam next year with 3 additional 320's, 6 new routes and frequency increases. Of course no mention of NCL Cancelled.

[SWBKCB]

genuine question - how/why, in the context of this thread, is it embarrassing?

[Jamesair]

Maybe a bad choice of word to describe my feelings, as a supporter of the airport whilst reading of huge expansion elsewhere from AMS while NCL loses the route. Although I'm sure that KLM will take up any slack.

[pallan]

A mixed bag of stats for September... still, overall up 2.7% compared to Sept 13 so that's good.

Shame about EZY if they are indeed cutting back but I guess if they can make more money elsewhere then they will, after all they are a business with shareholders to please.
