75th Anniversary
Has anyone read the press release on the airports website stating about the anniversary year and specifically on the 26th July
I am presuming this will be in relation to Emirates? As the other airlines we normally see most of their fleet types.
I suppose it also could be KLM or BA?
If it is Emirates do you think they will send in a 777 for the day like they did with the A380 on Birmingham airports anniversary?
“On the anniversary day itself, 26 July, a number of our airline partners will be marking the occasion by operating aircraft rarely seen at Newcastle, which we hope will appeal to aviation enthusiasts and the general public alike.

75yrs
Let's hope that they can provide suitable viewing areas for these aircraft on the 26th July.
I wonder what is rare about them? Maybe they are actually full of passengers

I agree with ACARS. No point in doing it unless you get people in to see the planes and put something on for them. Monday 26 July is at the start of the school holidays. NCL could make it a 'family fun day'; there could be some serious seminars/workshops; and the college could have an 'open day'. It's about time we did something to promote aviation and aircraft in their own right: Fascinating history, amazing technology, etc.

That week in July is around the date of Farnbrough airshow (its always close to my birthday) so perhaps some airlines have aircraft around doing shows anyways.
24th might be the Sunderland airshow too.

NCL are sponsoring the airshow this year. I wish NCL would put back the viewing terrace upstairs like it used to be. I used to go up there on a Saturday just to watch a/c take off and land.

E195's are not uncommon at Newcastle.
Dont forget the current UK threat level has just risen
Expect further news regarding the 75th year anniversary and how it will be celebrated, with the people of the north east.

And where exactly do you expect the viewing terrace to be?? As there is no area upstairs in the terminal where it can be, as it is all airside and full of shops!!

It will be, NUFC probably have a season contract with Scot Airways to take them to the nearest airport to wherever they are playing....plus its saves on the cost of an overnight hotel.

Just sent an email for dates/prices about the ATC Sim Facility, I will report back when I get some info.
I have tried to contact them through another email address. I will let you know if I get anything back.

EK upgrade
There has been talk of the above being upgrade to a 777.
Forgot that EK had A340's.
Whats the difference between the service onboard the 330 and 340 2/3 class and cargo space offered??
Could the NCL route be upgraded next spring to A340 instead of the 777 in the shorter term and longer term 777??
sorry to go on about this again !!

I would guess at the A333 also however I would assume they will be 3-class aircraft?
As for the A343, aren't they also 3-class? I know the A345 is...
Can the A343 get in and out with a full load? I thought they need the leg room?
