Where's the article with Dave Law's future route aims?
I'd hope Norwegian would give it a shot but they seem to be of the opinion that "we serve Edinburgh - people can travel"

Very interesting that interview...
So what can we hope for
2017 United to go daily maybe a extended season from 2018 and a year round service from 2020??? Can see it happening before then but hey what do we know!
Emirates 2x daily agree with that and can see a start date of September 2017 for that as it will mark 10 years!!!
Ryanair well this looks like the one to watch in the short term.
Finally looks like the airport needs Ryanair to expand and get us upto 5m pax per year. I have heard people talking about Ryanair wanting 4 based aircraft at ncl within the next 12/18 months ??
Jet2 hopefully more from them
Charters - these will continue to grow still no news on the 4th based TCX for summer 2016
Extra routes to Germany ??? How long have the airport been saying this. Fly be we're going to add routes to Germany and this never happened...
Could this be were Ryanair comes into it?
Which Ryanair routes to Germany could work well for Newcastle that is currently served by Ryanair from other airports ???
All sounds very good lets hope all his wishes come true

Ooooh I really enjoyed reading that (great minds think alike) 
He's a man with his head screwed on and I think if I sets out his plan, stays in the position he's in (I.e not sack the job in for somewhere else) and makes sure things happen the way he wants to... We could definitely be onto a winner in the near future. I completely agree with the UA and EK forecasts, I think EK35/36 might see an A380 on 01/09/2017 as well... Or I hope so at least.
Ryanair is going to be a very interesting one I think, I'd love to see them do Stansted!!! Hopefully 4 based aircraft could be good for us, those threats might kick EZY up the arse to do something
5 mil by 2017, 7 mil by 2020, 10 mil 2025? Maybe? I hope so

You will never see a A380 at ncl.
Runway and taxiway are not able to cope and the airport will not spend the money for a flight that will not happen.
The best you can hope for would be a fly past with one but I doubt that they will be paying for it.
EK will be 2x flights a day possible starting 1st sept 2017 and the extra flight will be a early evening flight allowing better connections to Asia

I don't see the need for a fourth TCX plane. They're more exposed to SSH and Tunisia than most airlines at NCL. With the geopolitical situation in Turkey their route portfolio is certainly the most risky of all NCL operators. If Turkey falls off the map then they'll run out of places to fly to which would warrant a fourth aircraft.
I can't see a long term FR base opening as they can simply serve NCL from one of their 70+ bases. Maybe a short term base which will shut once any incentives dry up.

Good Numbers
Some good numbers from U2 on the BRS and BFS. Excellent performance on BCN and that is before Vueling start BCN. Malta not so good however only slightly down. Does anyone know if LS are using the 737-classics or have they been using the 737-800. If the former then it could account for the slight decline as it was served by 180Y Air Malta aircraft.

Is FNC still a 733 next year and the new wednesday TFS run still scheduled on a 733? Hopefully there'll be a lovely shiny "new" wingletted one available with those lovely sporty CFM56 3C-1's or they might struggle. 733 flies like a pig on a hot day doing more than 3.5 hours.
Are we 3 733/4 738 next year?

Still a 300 on the FNC at least for now.
Even if the 300s are fitted with one or two C1 engines they are still operated at 22k max. So not any sportier.

TCX
They are taking an extra 60 cabin crew on this summer for the 4th based aircraft I've heard.
Yes not sure what's happening now due to SSH and NBE.
Can't see any of these routes coming back soon and if they do won't be more than weekly flights.
Yes I think they may struggle however the people that would normally got to SSH, NBE will have to go somewhere.???
Maybe a blood bath for the Spanish routes ??

Hi
Monday's Las Palmas rotation will be TOM on 2nd and 9th May
From 16th May - 26th Sep will be operated by Smartwings on a W pattern
NCL-LPA dep 14:40 , arv 19:30, Flight No.: QS 2009
LPA-NCL dep 09:00 , arv 13:50, Flight No.: QS 2008
Monday's Dalaman is now showing TBA so probably will be a W pattern again with one of the Turkish operators.
Good to see Smartwings from NCL
