Of course not but if it takes competition to get all our incumbents to try something new and maybe... You know, grow. Then I'm all for it
Ryanair are the last airline I'd want to be honest, I'm still signed up to "boycot Ryanair" from a few years ago but they've turned themselves around and they're giving us a real chance, so I'm willing to give them a chance too. As I've been saying it's about time NCL got it's share
I'm more hoping Ryanair acts as a kick in the arse for easyjet, lets face it I doubt (if ever) Ryanair would give us anything more than a 2/3 aircraft base tops, but I really don't think 4/5 are unfeasible for easyjet if they really want to

No BFS so far
Well looks like BFS have gained the following that we didnt which were
Berlin
Kakrow
Milan
All the above been or currently being served... maybe these routes will be next ones for NCL for summer 2017?

Does anyone think direct flights to Canada will return sometime in the future?
I heard that in the 80's there was a weekly 747 service, and only a few years ago Air Transat did regular flights (with a pickup-drop off service at Exeter). I find it hard to believe that demand has declined so bad that a weekly service isn't viable, even if it was only seasonal.

Although I'd love to think Air Transat would re-start flights to Toronto with their A310/A330 and pair us up maybe with Exeter again or with Bristol or Belfast... I think Westjet might be our only hope, if any on a 737 via St Johns

I remember a couple of weeks ago some discussion about Turkey reductions because of bookings being down
My family have just booked with TCX to AYT 31/7-10/08 - anyone think it's likely either of these could be cancelled or have TCX made the final changes to the timetable now?
Also both scheduled to be on the A321 at the minute... hope it stays like that!

Ryanair vs Easyjet
Many people saying that Ryanair entering the market more at ncl will be bad news.
Just been looking at TFS for example
Easyjet not on sale yet for Winter 2016/7 which will be giving Ryanair a little head start. if easyjet keep to the same days then this is good news for the passenger as it gives a better choice of days to fly to TFS.
Ryanair (Tuesday and Friday)
Easyjet (Wedbesday and Saturday)
The airport is working with all airlines to be able to offer the passengers who use NCL to offer these routes on as many different days as possible.
If Easyjet cant make NCL work (profit wise) with more than 3 aircraft year round then this option for passengers will only happen if all the airlines can work along side each other.
Fair enough they are both on ALC and AGP together but there is room for them all.
Im for one happy of the extra choice and hopefully a cheaper flight from the winter

As much as it pains some people on here Sunday is a very busy day for U2 at NCL and all aircraft have full schedules for the day ahead and therefore it's the only time available and today alone they will carry 3500 to or from the airport.

I have always wondered why sometimes NCL's flights seem to end a few weeks before other airports and/or have some form of winter break in flights, particularly Cyprus was one of them, where most other airports seemed to have at least some XXX-PFO flights between October-March
Good on you Jet2 and Thomson, thank you!
