I reckon someone f-ing around with wikipedia... I can't see AF operating ORY and CDG alongside eachother, and I also can't see them ditching CDG because then they lose all of their connecting traffic.
I also just saw a family friend who lives in Manhattan, has family in Gateshead, he flew EWR-NCL on 27th and he said the flight was "super empty" J was full because all the UA loyalty pax got upgraded, the rest were told they couldn't be moved up front due to weight and balance. He was in row 35 and the only pax between something like 33 and 38. He flies back Sunday so I'll see how the loads were. For him EWR-NCL is a godsend, he travels back and forwards 5-6 or more times a year, and even though he has massive BA loyalty he'd much prefer direct. To give you and idea of his BA loyalty, he's incorporated a London trip into one of his visits this year and used his points to fly back LCY-SNN-JFK.
I do feel quite good about UA to be bravely honest, I think they genuinely see something in us, like Emirates did.

Interesting. I was thinking Almeria might be one of the upcoming new routes that esyJet will announce in the coming weeks. Obviously not. I wonder where they will be to.

Hi everyone. Closet case plane spotter and wannabe NCL airside ranger saying hello. Here's hoping for plenty of new routes/increased frequencies from our hub of the north east!

What rumours have been put out regarding EZY's new routes?
I'd hope something new... Useful... Unique? Milan, Venice, Hamburg, Munich, Berlin, Madrid, Lisbon, Catania, Reykjavik, Marrakech, Mykonos. Maybe even Vienna, Athens, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Bordeaux, Budapest, Pula, Olbia... And probably a few more. Even as a long shot, bring AMS or CDG back. To me it would seem they have all that and more to pick from, but I concede... I can't get my hopes up for anything other than well served, relatively safe routes. I will be very very pleasantly surprised if there is even one more exotic route, and I would hope it works out for them.
The fact that Split is only running 25/06-03/09 this year... Does not fill me with hope for any amazing brand new route offering

Split ran decent loads last year, so would have expected something more from it this summer too. I must admit I was surprised to see them announce it last year, thought there would have been more destinations on EZY's to do list from NCL, like some of the one's you listed above.
I would back a return of AMS and/or SXF at some point, along with ACE, and I did overhear something about TLV. Watch this space I guess, however as mentioned on another thread, the BFS and BRS ops will switch to a/c and crew from those bases, freeing up some space of the NCL schedule.
Hope something comes of all this, would be nice to see something fresh from EZY and eventually that elusive 4th aircraft

I heard it from a cleaner that one of the new routes will be operated by another base. Could it be AMS/CDG/ORY/VCE/NAP? The other new route is operated by NCL and I've only heard rumours.
KEF didn't work for them in BRS. Given the demographic and the competition at GLA and EDI as well as their own route, I just can't see KEF working.
NCL will never be more than a 3 aircraft base.

Ah those trusty cleaners. They seem to find everything out before anyone else, but they're seldom wrong. AMS with and AMS airframe wouldn't surprise me, as apparently the route was only dropped due to the EZY base opening over there and they wanted to use the slots for other route(s). Now established, maybe they'll come back to NCL.
I doubt KEF would work either, Pula was dropped by LS although Dubrovnik and Split currently served from NCL, and as for IOM, I'm not sure if there's that much demand for a 319, alongside the service with Manx. I believe that the IOM itself subsidises the flights between IOM-BRS and others regardless of pax numbers, so enough of an incentive to remain on these routes. As for the others on the list however, it would be interesting to see something new from somebody, sure it will look nice on the arrival boards, but whether it works is another matter.
Aircraft #4, not in the next couple of years no, I wouldn't say never just yet though

i think you will find easy back on the kef route for winter 16/17. they came off the route from brs for s16 saying kef is a winter only route.
wow airline fly from brs to kef with onward connections in canada and usa. i think easy wanted to see how wow are doing on the kef route before making plans.
