Wizz
I think what Highwideandugly is getting at is that eastern Europe doesn't really get much of a look in in the North East despite there being a sizeable Polish community amongst others. Surely wiz should be looking at the North East for at least one destination two or three times a week.
The demographics seem to be there.

The facts dear boy/girl..
Sorry for pointing out the ble.ding obvious!!!,cabin Crew
This is the here and now..I stated the facts.
Newcastle IS the NE Premier airport
We are the only large region without Wizz flights to a huge market
The airport always use the excuse of upsetting existing customers
There are thousands of East Europeans working in the region(inc S.Scotland and Cumbria)
DTV did have Wizz flights
Never Mind at least we won't upset Continental!

Indeed we won't saying as Continental operated its last flight several years ago.
With many A321s on order, Wizz will need to fly their fleet somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if we see them but I do wonder why we've seen little in the way of Eastern European flights apart from a couple of flights to tourist centres. FR have a huge present in the east so I do wonder why it hasn't been done.
MME didn't last. DSA works as there's a huge amount of workers in the fruit and veg industry there. I can't see the yields being anything to write home about. If FR, with their ultra low cost base haven't bothered trying they obviously don't see much money to be made.

Wizz Air / LCC operations
Not sure what business plan Wizz operate, but if it's like Ryanair's Low Cost operations, wanting everything free from the airport, then maybe Newcastle airport would rather have airlines who are willing to pay fees & charges, as revenue from retail & catering is not fantastic on budget airline flights. Newcastle have been careful to maintain about 1/3rd Business + 1/3rd Leisure (TM/TCX etc) & 1/3rd LCC. They won't want to lose fee paying airlines to ultra low cost carriers who don't pay charges. - Airport needs to make money.
Again I'm not sure if Wizz is a FR style Ultra low cost carrier, but if so, could be a reason it is not being encouraged.

Specultion please ?
Agreed Sw....but surely with a little incentive.....and it wouldn't be much. A few flights per week to a few destinations would be worth a punt??
Hey. EK. and UA. Have proved with a little support what can be achieved!
Why is it NIA. remind me of NUFC. In their restricted and negative outlook?
BORO for the Premierships!!!!

United
I've been keeping an eye on the United seat plans on the website and I'm going to make a guess that NCL sold around 4400 seats out of 6929 on offer
This would make a load of around 63.5%
Official figures will be out end of month

You can't expect a new route like New York to hit 90+ % in the first few months.
It will take years to grow this route.
Think back to Emirates and the loads compared to this month..
Just hope that UA and NCL can continue to grow this route
