I still think LCY could do a lot better from NCL, but they'd have to base a Dash here
A well timed 2/3 times daily LCY flight could probably operate happily alongside a daily midday STN flight, I doubt the STN flights currently serve many London bound passengers at all - especially not business travellers

How many cancellations is that now, 5 or 6? Similar to what EDI has had to be fair. Pax will most likely be rerouted via AMS, LHR or CDG, or booked onto tomorrows flight (if it operates).

Now flybe are on board, it might be worth re-visiting as if they can't do it, no-one can IMHO.

Today's canceled UAL was only showing a total of six seats booked, was that the cause or aircraft maintenance as shown on flight stats? I think the run up to Christmas should show more bookings, if not I can see the service being withdrawn.

It only operates until 7th September so unless there are some really early Xmas shoppers it won't make much difference

RE: Skiathos
What restrictions does Skiathos place on A321s in wet conditions ? Todays TCX flight along with a STN flight diverted to Kavala then onto Thessaloniki before positioning back to NCL empty and leaving returning PAX down in JSI even though some 757s were heading in still

Great regional airport
Don't get on here much but thought I would have my say...
Having recently flown from Liverpool and Leeds airports I have to say how proud I am of Newcastle. Nice modern, spacious terminal building with direct rail link, good selection of shops and places to eat. Love the new glitzy tiles in the duty free!
Good selection of routes too maybe lacking Munich and Milan 3 times weekly. Perfect year round opportunities for easyJet or Jet2. Just hope all the doom mongers on here are wrong and United are here to stay with sensible economy fare structure, say £450-£500 return.
I found both Liverpool and Leeds to be grotty, far too small and out to rip you off with charges for trolleys (Leeds), crazy high parking charges,(Liverpool) and cold, dirty, bus shelter type walkways to aircraft as opposed to Newcastle's impressive pier and Aspire Lounge. Well done to the team at Newcastle. Even my mate from Yorkshire commented how friendly the security team were with his kids. Just shows how one person can create a lasting impression on an airport that employs hundreds.
Oh and last wish would be for either Easy or Jet2 to give us an evening rotation to Malaga rather than flying minutes apart. That would create a bigger market. Can't understand why EZY dropped the Sunday rotation either on such a busy route, especially busy for break/golf/stag/hen weekend trips.
Keep up the great work!

The new terminal is looking great but it was a good airport even without the refresh. You only have to look at LBA or LTN to realise just how good it is.
Well UA is showing cancelled on the departure board. The service is not reliable enough for me to consider it wether it comes back next year or not. I'll stick with AFKLM.
