Good news about Jet2 picking up where Ryanair left off(-ish), wonder if we could be in for anymore, it is an awfully long time away still! Funny they sent an email out last week saying summer 2016 was finalised from Newcastle, evidently not hahahaha

Ref UA159 NCL-EWR.
Appears from Flightrader24 that occasional flights diverting to LGA, anyone know why ?
Nb same thing re EDI-EWR.
Is this correct or software error with flightradar24 ?

I see the winter schedule now released. However no NCL- Belfast City or Stansted. Have they gone?
Exeter reduced to 4 weekly vs the summer schedule.
SOU has gone back to better timings though.

I read on the Flybe thread that their Twitter account stated that this is a partial release of the winter timetable.
I suppose Exeter loses the holiday trade to Devon (Torquay etc) in the Winter months. BHD is always at risk of losing pax to BFS.
This months stats for BHD and STN should give us an idea how these routes are performing.....STN has very odd business unfriendly timings.
The Airport winter timetable shows BHD and STN but not Exeter.

A small amount of cargo contracts are in place (more inbound than out) and I would imagine this element would be strengthened partic if projected forward pax bookings remain as they are

How much cargo can the flight take? It'll be nowhere near a 77W and thus probably won't have the same relative positive effect as EK has but will they be stuffing it full of cargo if it lasts? I don't believe the flight is at all payload limited NCL-EWR? Is it?
UA use containers the same as EK?

Just taking a look at the UA loads and seems to be very empty in July, particularly from mid July but prices seem to be reasonable. They are filling for the next couple of weeks so wondered if the trend is late booking?

Recent uptake is possibly due to very competitive pricing.....
The longer it takes to confirm a service in 2016, then this whole process is to be repeated & creates it's own problems, particularly when not daily.

If they're keeping it on for 2016 I'd expect an announcement around September.
Also does anyone know when and why the fixed distance "touchdown zone" markers have been changed at NCL, on 25 at least, see here at 4:53 just after the puff of smoke:

It'll be interesting to find out. It got up to 13000' and turned back, went around the hold a couple of times, then what looks like a low pass over the airfield. It landed the next time around.
