After 872 posts and obviously an interest in aviation I'm surprised you wasn't aware of what IT stood for, in the 70s and 80s it was common place to use the term IT as in Inclusive Tours for most charter flights.

Never came across the term before, not commonly used now. Never seen it used on the Irish airport forums. I'm also a bit young and inexperienced to remember the 70's or 80's, my aviation knowledge only developed from the 00's onwards.

IT is commonly used in the airline / airport industry. The passenger or layman won't hear it used, just like many acronyms used in the industry, the traveling public will never hear them or be close to them....
Certainly not prehistoric in any sense...

In statistics it differentiates between flights operated as part of a package holiday (inclusive tour) and ad hoc charter flights (one off charters) which in NCL's case would appear under the "other" heading.

Well it amazes me that some so called aviation professionals have never come across the term IT.
Am glad others do, it just shows how much people actually don't take anything in as the term is widely used in the airline / airport industry.

Asked a few in work today, I'd say about half of who I asked had heard the term "inclusive tour", but only one had seen it referred to as IT.
Anyway learn something new everyday, this is a discussion forum after all, no need for the extreme hostilities seen here. Doesn't paint a good picture of the people in our industry, we're not all short headed!

Agreed.

Agreed.
In the olden days, the world really was divided into scheduled and IT (with the odd one-off charter), but in the days of easyJet and Jet2 it's largely archaic - should have been dropped when charters started selling flight-only.

To change topic, how are people feeling about the impending/long awaited new routes... Particularly EZY to Berlin, which is IMHO a huge step in the right direction, and the barrage of new FR routes to Gdansk, Madrid, Warsaw and Wroclaw. I'm hoping they all bring in at least some inbound tourism but personally I'm going to Warsaw in December with my mam, Berlin in January with 3 mates and seriously looking at Madrid in April/May... Cities I've been interested in but only taken seriously since direct flights became available
Despite the bad feelings around FR, I definitely feel it will improve profitability at NCL because it keeps the airport busier after the based A/C leave, and should hopefully, slightly improve seasonality with the increase in year round flights
I do have doubts about just how many people actually want to fly to so many new destinations, but we did have a daily flight to Berlin and Krakow, so if the demand was there 10 years ago, why isn't it there now?
I hope this is the growth we've missed out on the last few years, and I think we could be close to 5mppa for 2016 and almost guaranteed it for 2017
If TFS and LPA work out for EZY I wonder if they might jump in on FNC since TOM have left and LS haven't increased frequency (LF's on LS/TOM on 2 weekly 738's were healthy - and they left within a few hours of eachother)
Legacy growth, I think, will be limited... I think BA will decrease but AF/KL/EI/EK will stay healthy, perhaps with limited scope for growth. I'm more doubtful for x2 daily EK now since EY/QR at EDI and more A380's at MAN, but sustaining the daily 77W shouldn't be a problem at all

Berlin and Krakow are emerging city destinations which so far have managed to make a market for themselves wherever they are introduced. Great routes to have for the airport.

If the recent additions to NCL's offerings are indicative of a new city based, rather than bucket and spade focused, mindset from Easyjet and Ryanair, would it be too much to hope to see the return of a service to Milan and Oslo?
