I agree this would be a good route for Eastern, having done this trip regularly the 4.5 hours on a train is not great! It is however possible to get return trips for under £100, Eastern would probably want at least twice that, therefore to make flying a cost effective alternative it would need to be twice daily with good times to allow a full days work and remove the need for an overnight stay.

Ryanair musn't see NCL as an attractive proposition, I would have thought with all of these new TFS routes this Winter a once weekly would have worked. No mention of the Toon thus far.

Ryanair to TFS................
Surely that would mean actually flying to TFS and not going to an airport 50 miles away from the advertised destination
Wait, there's still TFN or maybe even SPC (La Palma) with a ferry crossing to Santa Cruz and then a coach journey!!

Ba Ncl-lhr
Looks like the last departure to LHR and the last inbound from LHR are cancelled during November and December.
Seems the same for other BA domestics in and out of LHR.
This despite NCL - LHR showing passenger growth at the moment!.

FR base
See there are rumours going around that FR is to base
3 aircraft at a new uk base from october
3 airports have been shortlisted which people are saying ncl/dtv is one of them
This could be really good news for ncl if they can pull a deal with fr!!

Dtv can't keep a route from fr year round.
Dublin has now been dropped altogether and alicante and gerona will end
At the end of october. What routes could work year round from dtv?
Think ncl will have the upper hand over dtv!

Is Ryanair's record from NCL much better? Oslo and Bergamo dropped, Girona not timetabled after October and Dublin reduced in frequency. Is going after fickle Ryanair with a very cheap offer worth upsetting Easyjet, Jet2 and the charter airlines? DTV, on the other hand, has nothing to lose and it would make more sense for them to make a very atttractive offer.

We already have Jet 2, easy and the popular charter operators from Newcastle fighting for passengers. There is no way Ryanair are going to set up a base here. In my opinion there isn't the demand to fill 189 seaters and in the current climate. Wasn't the Dublin reduced because of the tax the Irish government were slapping on tourists ?????
Doubt the management would want them basing here and slashing there costs and forcing the other locos out. If there is going to be any expansion my money will be on Flybe

Manx2 are advertising NCL already. Will be interesting to see some aircraft variation!
Anyone know if this was a subsidised route? Did eastern lose a subsidy to manx2, or simply didnt it make financial sense, and Manx2 are giving it a go?
RTG!
