That was one hell of a turn out of Emergency Services today for the Easy Jet landing.
It was an excellent effort by the Airport Authorities to contain the emergency and get the other traffic running with minimal delay.
But two full emergencies in one day, that must be a first for Newcastle.

EasyJet flight makes emergency landing at Newcastle Airport due to 'fumes in the cabin' - Chronicle Live
An easyJet flight had to make an emergency landing in Newcastle after reports of fumes in the cabin.
The flight to Hamburg took off from Edinburgh Airport at 12.40pm today but had to be re-directed to Newcastle International Airport .
The plane landed safely at around 1.25pm and emergency services and fire crews were waiting on the runway.
Airlive.net tweeted: “EasyJet #U26931 to Hamburg diverted due to fumes in the cabin. Spare aircraft on its way to Newcastle.”....................

Summer 2017 update
Some big gaps in the current Easyjet schedule for the peak months next summer (based on three based aircraft):
Monday - full aircraft spare all day (2 or 3 return trips)
Tuesday - two return trips (AM & early PM)
Wednesday - one return trip (AM only)
Thursday - no gaps
Friday - no gaps
Saturday - one return trip (late PM only)
Sunday - no gaps
The Flybe schedule is also out, with Exeter and Newquay as per this summer though Southampton increases to four daily Monday-Friday, three on a Saturday and two on Sunday respectively. Everything else sees limited changes vs. this year (Almeria is a new destination with Jet2 & Thomas Cook, additional fortnightly Orlando-Sanford with Thomson), with the exception of the previously reported increases by Ryanair.

Easyjet Summer 2017
Re the earlier post by Kev 1.
Could the spare capacity/ gaps be for new routes yet to be announced ? or are the aircraft going to be used elsewhere during the summer ? Seems really odd reducing the frequency in the peak season. Apparently it is the same situation at some other airports.
Anyone have any ideas??

It is a bit late to announce new routes.
It could be to provide a more robust flying program. Last summer had lots of challenges (some external) and creating gaps COULD be to introduce resilience and bigger firebreaks.

Except for maybe Customer Services, you can't really compare Iraqi Airways and easyJet.
Having been victim of one of easyJets "challenges" earlier this year, I hope this to introduce resilience and bigger firebreaks (although most of the gaps seem to be on the quiet days?). It might need a change of approach though, as they didn't use such gaps to recover the programme in my case.

There are no quiet days in the easyJet summer. It's pretty full on each day of the week with many aircraft spending just a few hours on the ground overnight.
There were no such breaks in the schedule in summer 16 season.

I think that easyJet maybe playing a safe game by waiting to see what jet2 and Ryanair are doing. I think the gaps will go nearer the time expect extra flights being added when they know what they can sell and what price.
Ryanair coming daily on the Palma will hurt easyJet.
Big question will be how easyJet react???? Add extra or keep the same amount of seats or adjust downwards and add when they need to.
