CDG

Probably because CDG will be operated by HOP from winter 17/18!
It is all in the booking engine 3 daily except Saturday which appears to be 2.
A good result for Newcastle if this happens although not a great difference in the capacity.

Equates to an extra 100 seats per week, good news I think, a bit more boring and I think it'll be sad to see the RJ's go, as well as sad we won't be getting the SSJ's, but it brings us in line with the rest of Air France's UK operations and hopefully... Hopefully... Might result in lower prices?

Haha sorry lads it seems i shouldn t trust the Hexham Courant! :') Newcastle Airport targets passengers from Cumbria I knew it didnt sound right so i dunno why i posted it!
Press release on the airport website:
Newcastle International Airport continues to fly high with confirmation that over 4.8m passengers travelled through in 2016. With an increase of 6% compared to 2015, over 250,000 more passengers used the airport last year, which has now seen six years of positive year on year growth.
August was the busiest month for the region’s biggest airport, with almost 600,000 passengers passing through the terminal, the highest number since 2007. The airport recorded its strongest December in over 10 years, with more than 300,000 passengers travelling in the final month of 2016.
The airport’s daily Emirates service to Dubai celebrated record numbers in August. The route, set to celebrate ten years of operation in 2017, carried 22,745 passengers in August from Newcastle and its Dubai hub.
Alicante was the favoured holiday destination for the North East travelling public, with 341,298 people travelling to the Costa Blanca....
....Nick Jones, Interim Chief Executive at Newcastle International Airport, said: “2016 was a fantastic year with some amazing achievements. We have seen a number of record breaking months at the airport and to have now seen six years of positive year on year growth is a great accomplishment. We have worked very hard to build a route network that offers a wide variety of choice to suit the needs of all our passengers. With even more choice available from Newcastle for a number of years, 2017 is set to be a special year for the airport as we expect to surpass 5 million passengers.”

I think the Airport has done a good job over the last few years - it was heading downhill towards East Midland style operations but it is now pretty well established - and has held to to Emirates
Amazingly for a area with a reported massive "export" market for freight,that they don't seem interested in the slightest in Freight operations, Or even airline maintenance or scrappage or painting,aero clubs or helicopter ops or basically anything non passenger related???
Oh well..back to a real airport thread at DTV....

OK - I'll play 
550 tonnes in November (9th largest in the UK), and 979 tonnes of Mail (5th largest)
Don't have the spare hangars, but it's in the Masterplan... 
PTT
Police, Northumbria Helicopters
too busy with pax! 
Shut the door on your way out!
