Not sure if flights just aren't loaded for sale yet, but NCL-DUS isn't bookable after 24/3/17, however other Eurowings flights to destinations other than us are on sale for after that date.

I would agree with that.....traffic on this route has been growing month by month.
I see that UA Newark is cancelled today. Looked like it had a pretty full load of pax too this morning.

re NCL-DUS:
Have in mind that Eurowings is phasing out the CR9 and replacing it with A320s. So some of the routes that did well with the CR9 will not make the cut with the transition from 90seaters to 180seaters. In anticipation of that, Eurowings has already cut some of the CR9 routes from DUS (eg. TRN, POZ) or consolidated routes that were twice daily in the past into a single daily flight with no day return option.

I saw the kiosk the other day. I wonder how successful they'll be. Personally I would just go online on my phone and buy it there and then and screenshot the confirmation screen. You also have access to the whole market and not just one company. But that is just me. Last minute insurance was sold onboard one of the airlines at NCL but as far as I can remember only lasted a few months. Crew would sell the insurance from a POS machine and staple it to a little booklet and customers were instantly covered.

Airport Passenger numbers.
I have not been able understand some of the passenger figures recently. If you look at the arrivals and departure board the airport seems much more busy than it was in the last couple of years. Despite this passenger figures are supposedly falling or increasing by a very small amount.
I realise the CAA stats are very unreliable and would suggest that some of the Newcastle figures shown are simply very wrong.
Tonight I have looked at the airports own figures for June 2016 and they seem to be wrong also.
For example the domestic figures show just 9691 for June 2016 compared to 102414 for 2015. Thats a drop of nearly 93000 pax.
That cant be correct.
IT figures show a drop of about 5000 pax which is possible
Scheduled International is up by about 33000 pax which could be likely and is possibly correct.
In total a reduction of nearly 64000 is shown a drop of about 12%.
It seems that the domestic figures are the ones causing the issue.
Perhaps the real figure for domestic should be not 9691 but 96910 instead it would seem more realistic.
So if you add the difference which is 87219 to the total published you get a new overall total for June 2016 of 530521 an increase of about 10% over June 2015.
If thats correct its not a bad increase.
Rather worrying that even the airports own published figures seem unreliable.

Because of Brexit:
-world war three will break out
-war in Europe will be rife
-the world economy will go into a long depression
-that 1929 2.0 is on the horizon
-that the NHS will fail
-nobody is going to trade with us and lend us money
So no wonder UA would pull the route with all these many catastrophes Brexit is bestowing upon the UK?
But then again, new EU routes and improved capacity on EU routes have been announced since the vote. So it can't all be that bad.
I just hope UA stays. I have no intention of using it - but I don't want the remainiacs to have a chance to blame Brexit. And we all know they will.

They need to re-confirm it because when it was announced last time it was stated that it was only for this season so "use it or lose it" - no political implications at all.

Great story on the BBC today about Northumbria Helicopters being called out by the owner of a dog that went missing in the North Pennines yesterday and low and behold they found it.
Well done lads.
The things people do for their pets!

Funny, only last week Bob Schumacher claimed they could be shifting up to all year round services.
