Jet2's Christmas shopping flights for 2016 will actually be:
LBA: x7
NCL, MAN: x6
GLA: x3
EMA, x2
NCL, MAN and LBA have a new years flight as well
How long before they make it a scheduled, x2 weekly winter only operation? I can't see why they shouldn't

2 x 733, 5 x 738 as I understand it. The original PR stated a 7th based a/c (738), and another a/c being upgrade (733-> 738).
Good to see the airport trying to entice pax lost to MAN from North Cumbria with the recent sponsorship deal with Carlisle United. Just need more advertising of Newcastle flights in the travel agents...

KEF (wow air) and SSH HRG
Yes still a travel ban to Egypt however you can still book SSH July and August so not sure how long the ban is on for
WOW air has now added 2x weekly to KEF from EDI
The north east must be the only area now in the UK which doesn't have a link to Iceland either with icelandair , easyjet or WOW!!
We must be next ....???

They've done SSH before but it can turn into a bit of a nightmare regarding duty times and can often result in an unscheduled night stop.

Holidays companies to Egypt and turkey are reporting over the last few days that bookings are down 40%+ for this summer to these areas.
Operators are now moving the flights away from these areas to Spain and Greece.

David Laws chief executive of Newcastle International Airport Interview
Link:
Monday interview: David Laws, chief executive of Newcastle International Airport - Chronicle Live
Extract from above:
"In a dream world, New York would become an all-year round service and Emirates would announce double daily flights to mark the tenth anniversary – but David also has his sights set on introducing another leisure destination, while also keeping one eye on destinations like China and Turkey
He said: “Compare us to other airports and our scheduled operators are incredible. You’ve got all the main game players in town - KLM, British Airways, Air France, everyone is here, but what goes against us is the fact our population isn’t as big as the likes of Manchester or Liverpool. We have to make it worth the airlines’ while.
“In time, one hub to look at is China. And what will make this possible is the technology of the aircraft, which has changed in the last two years at Newcastle. In my opinion, it’s true what they say about the Dreamliner cutting down jet lag.
“There’s a leisure destination I’m determined we’ll get - it’s on the cusp because of aircraft performance. That’s Vegas. That’ll be for leisure, not scheduled, but we think Las Vegas will really appeal to a lot of people. We don’t think we’d have a problem selling it!
