MT /LS
Jet 2 position in aircraft from Edinburgh goes to pmi and back then positions back to Edi on wed and Thurs for the summer. Strange planning when they have an aircraft on the ground on weds.
MT daily PMI and DLM goes 4 x weekly s17.
JEWEL IN THE CROWN cease trading so Pegasus flight may be cancelled for s17 as they were using it. Some one else may use it though.
Anyone know what is operating TOM DLM on a Monday for s17.

Be interesting to see if anything comes of Mexico and Barbados especially re TCX, would be nice to see long haul from them. Still 3 A/C for S17 though I assume, all growth coming from decreases in Turkey and Egypt. I'm very happy about Almeria though, I was wondering if Jet2 would go for it or not but glad someone has, it's a pretty safe yet relatively niche destination and I hope it'll do well for them, most importantly though, it's NOT currently served! Very unusual to see a NEW route! I thought the airlines were only out there to steal eachother's market share, dump capacity and destroy margins
Couple of rumours flying about, long haul from TCX, Cape Verde and more from Thomson, although I reckon Costa Rica, Aruba, Thailand, Mauritius are a server error
Feasibly I'd say TCX could come in on Cancun and not effect TOM too much (year round mabe?), as well as Barbados as TOM is only cruise traffic. TOM long haul I think Puerto Vallarta, Cuba and Dominican could be sustained, Jamaica might be too much scheduled, probably best just sticking to cruise traffic. Didn't Mr Laws say he'd love to see Las Vegas charters as one of his personal goals though?
Widebodies on short haul would be nice to see
slow and steady wins the race though... NCL is certainly taking it slow, but they're making money and doing it sustainably which is what's important.
Early yet but I'd set viable 2017 goals as:
- Return of United, maybe daily March-October
- Emirates 2nd daily from 1st September
- City routes from Ryanair, and maybe announcement of a base W17/S18
- Long haul from Thomas cook (if these rumours are to be believed), maybe LAS charter too?
- Something new or exciting from Thomson, Cape Verde/Morocco/Pacific Mexico/Dominican (again)
- A/C 8 from Jet2
Personal wishlist, however unlikely:
- Turkish 4/5 weekly to Istanbul on an A32x/737
- A/C 4 from Easyjet, new routes i.e Milan, Munich, Berlin, Mykonos, Catania, Venice
- STN from Ryanair
- Another loco, specifically Wizzair, I'm determined they'll come at some point and regret not doing it earlier!
- A/C 4 from TOM and or TCX
Eurowings going CRJ-A32x leaves only SAS with the CRJ's, any chance they might go 737 or something? 736 was in the other day and CPH is profitable by all accounts, would they consider Oslo? A greater Star Alliance presence at NCL would probably help a lot of Star airlines along a little bit, but we lack a link to their main hub (Frankfurt) so there's little hope there until Frankfurt comes on line... Which looks like probably never
That's all my thought processes exhausted! Now to wait and see how much (or little, as history has taught us) of this materialises

Would be very suprised to see any long haul from TCX, their policy is to have MAN as main L/H hub, with a few from Gatwick, Glasgow and Stansted, their long haul programme has been on sale for a few months now so unless they have some more A330's coming I would not hold out much hope as the current ones are fully utilised. Antigua, Barbados and St Lucia were all launched year round twice a week but soon dropped to winter only from Manchester, so again unlikely from NCL (before other larger catchment areas).
Thomson would be more likely to add BHX & GLA before Newcastle, Costa Rica has only just been re-introduced from MAN & LGW and is a very "new" destination. Cuba is a small part of their programme and they only do Varedero which can be more than Mexico.
We can live in hope though, stranger things have happened - I remember in the early 90's Caledonian introduced Goa from NCL for Inspirations Holidays using a A320 - stopped about 4 times!

I would bet money on saying EZY won't put a 4th plane in. The only way they'll increase the route portfolio is chopping frequencies or getting GVA/NCE/BFS/BRS/BCN based planes to operate their respective rotations freeing up a NCL plane. BFS is now 18 a week and they're all operated by NCL based planes from what I gather. Or they could start a new route from a base on mainland Europe - VCE/NAP could work. I'm surprised AMS didn't come back. They need to put effort into EasyJet Holidays and make a success of it like Jet2 holidays who feel like a real tour operator whereas easyjetholidays just seems like a flight and hotel portal and not a tour operator.

I hope they're doing Almeria with the A320, straight after it arrives at about 08:30 from Zante, because otherwise that kind of schedule makes it feel like they're just trying to fly the aircraft for the sake of flying it, one flight in the middle of the day during summer, especially when it's not a medium/long haul flight like TFS/DLM/SSH. I do believe there may be a circa 18:00 departure to Turkey on the A320 though, which makes that schedule a lot more understandable and palatable... I'd hate to think one of their shiny new A321's was only doing 1 rotation to mainland spain on one day of the week during peak summer

TCX Monday S17
LEI A320
CFU A321
DLM A320
PMI A321
SSH A321
ACE A321
SSH will be dropped IMO wont be the demmand to justify even a weekly service from NCL especially as alot of people will be booking next years holidays this year , far too much uncertainty surrounding SSH

Is there any more noise being made about further FR announcements from NCL?
It would be good to see them branching out to some of the Eastern European destinations from Newcastle. Maybe even taking on LS on the Prague route - the non-term-time prices to Prague are ridiculous at the moment!
