Assuming they codeshare with SK and LH obviously!

The reason I included Flybe was because of its ownership of Cimber, which once operated the route and their current operating links to SAS.

Some of the previous operators on the route are Hunting Clan, Brymon Airways, Debonair, SAS which steamed in with a 3 x daily operation, Easyjet, Cimber and SAS again. I can't think of any others.

Also, Air UK operated the route back in the 80s with an F27. Not sure how long it lasted though.

Was it not Cityjet that took ownership of Cimber, not Flybe?!

Adding to the list of airlines who used to do CPH Bcal with BAC 111's routing EDI-NCL-CPH on the ground around the same time as their GLA-NCL-AMS! :-)

A shame, but not a surprise, about SAS. Definitely hoping someone steps in and takes up the route, be it easyjet, ryanair, Norwegian or BMI/SAS...

I doubt Cityjet would take it on because all of their aircraft are wet leased to SAS, so that would mean SAS were dropping the route.... Then re-starting with the same aircraft later on. Not impossible but unlikely

The CRJ's are contracted to SAS so unlikely they could by used. CityJet still operate the SSJ and RJ in their own right and for AF, SN etc

Silly question of the day.

It's so long since I last did a domestic flight I can't remember if NCL still has a separate domestic carousel/exit.

I suspect it disappeared years ago.
So presumably even domestic travellers have to come back through passport control/immigration at NCL?

The bigger question is if a non EU person flies into LHR (BA ) then straight up to NCL where will they clear immigration?
Presumably they will be in transit at LHR.

ASH666 There is a separate domestic arrivals channel at NCL as there has to be as Border Agency do not perform immigration controls on passengers flying domestic routes. In the case of a connection through LHR then immigration is undertaken at LHR. Formal Customs clearance is at Newcastle once bags have been collected as at LHR you remain airside unless you choose to do otherwise. I hope this addresses your question.

Quite!
I did Dublin a couple of years ago and can't remember getting out of NCL, and nothing to do with Guinness!

I do remember the awful Stobart return flight with overhead lockers that would struggle to hold a matchbox.

When did it change? The last time I arrived at NCL from DUB we walked into the terminal at the international side but bypassed the UK border control and went straight into the luggage collection area.

Every time I've landed over the past few years I arrive in the domestic area, near the metro station.

All flights depart and arrive into the domestic gates, so maybe there was a shortage of them someday?

Arrivals

All Irish routes including Northern and Republic of Ireland arrive via Domestic channels as would a normal UK domestic flight would do. This is due to the CTA agreement in place.

Jersey arrives via international arrivals but bypassing border control, as passengers must clear customs.

and of course all other international flights such as from continental EU, USA, Middle East arrive through standard international arrivals, going through immigration/border control and customs.

Regarding CPH - If another airline were to set up for the route, it would be hard for Ryanair or FlyBe to do so since both airports are not Ryanair or FlyBe bases, unless an FR aircraft goes on W pattern from either NCL or CPH. easyJet could easily go on as could BMI (if SVG is dropped or base another A/C).

Traffic seems to be improving steadily on the BMI Stavanger route and it has always been assumed it might be extended to Bergen so not sure if they would close it and take on Copenhagen. However, they do seem a logical choice to operate the route.

Isle of Man will no longer be served from 1st Sept, once the new Eastern NCL - Belfast City route begins.

I've just done a dummy booking for October and there's one flight number all the way through and a half hour stop in Belfast, so it looks like it's just a change of routing (intermediate stop at Belfast rather than on the island). Flights only operate 4 or 5 days a week though. I'd rather be able to get there direct but one way fares still start at £56 so not too much of a disaster.
