Im somewhat not missing the 757s at all , The new TCX A321s are absolutley fantastic aircraft and well worthy of replacing the 757

Shame about Murcia, used to have almost daily 757's at one point, what happened?
Maybe it's the uncertainty of San Javier's future with respect to the new Corvera Airport although the trend over the past twelve months or so is more flights to Alicante at the expense of Murcia.

I'm not sure, but EZY pulled out of the NCL-MJV route as well so I don't know... Maybe just traffic decline, surely the new airport shouldn't have that much effect... If they've operated the flights this year what should change? If they have to move to the new airport, move to the new airport. Been done on a much larger scale elsewhere without disruption

Glad to see more growth, but point taken about the 757's (From a customer perspective) but LS' whole fleet has standardised interiors. As long as the frequency increases match the capacity lost when they went 757-738 It's all good, A32x/737 are the future :'(

Im really not struck on the 738 but i was really impressed with the A321 & with the A321LR on the drawing board i think the 752 has a very close successor

Interesting to see no one ever talks about flights to Almeria an area with a great number of British home owners. Has Newcastle ever tried a flight there?

I was thinking that yesterday! Because I'm sure Almería (or I might be thinking of Valencia) were part of Jet2's original compliment from Newcastle when they first started flights from here... It's a shame though because I'd like to see more of the smaller Spanish cities on our route map. Off to visit FTE Jerez in July and I'm looking forward to seeing "that side" of the costas Cádiz, San Fernando, Seville, Jérez etc.

With Jet2's new Jet2 holidays spinoff "jet2 citybreaks" I'm hoping some smaller cities might make a return, Spain's the kind of place a few weekly flights would work to most cities.

Edit: Graham beat me to it while I fannied on (without success) looking for some kind of proof

I was in Valencia last week and had a conducted tour of the city by a friend who lives there. Huge city (3rd city of Spain), stunning new modern architecture, interesting old city and beaches on the edge of the city. The Jet2 service was a bit premature, the authorities are now trying to promote the city as a weekend break destination.

Maybe the right time for Jet 2 to reconsider it as a destination.

New York

I'll be very interested to see how this route does. In fairly accurate terms it uses the 2.6 million population of the North East. When this population has been used up on the route very very few people will come from outside of the NE to use the route as there will be no need. I don't think I am being too controversial to say it will be touch and go?

New York

New York is doing good with the expectations of both the airport and the airline happy
First flight is shown 82% full and 3 weeks left to go
The following 2 weeks most flights over 60%.

You will find that most business people will be booking now for these flights.
Not many leisure people as these would have already booked.

It's not looking to bad to be honest I'm sure it will be back next year!!!!!

The Americans seem to like to book up the front more as more business seats sold ewr-ncl than ncl-ewr!!


One thing we will never know is the cargo carried and also the volume of onward pax

I would imagine exactly the same comments were made just before Emirates launched (I'd have said the same myself!). Here's hoping for the same result!

Sounds more like fewer free upgrades given from the UK end tbh... Unless you suggest Americans prefer one way in one class then something tighter for the way home (!)

Well if you are going to upgrade in one direction it would make sense for it to be the eastbound one where it is an overnight flight.

On one of the illustrations it states "Wings for Lift and Fuel" Airbus may want to rethink that one, they might just be pushing the boat out too far!

Passenger Statistics

I'm not sure if anyone posted already but the CAA provisional statistics were changed again on the 7th and is now showing the NCL-DXB route has 21,305 passengers for the month.
