someone said a while ago that QATAR follows EK around a lot.
what are the chances of qatar coming?
has anybody worked out the % of cargo space used on the EK service yet since it started.? tyhe information was on the website of how much has been carried to date.
just if the cargo space is in the +90% say then the use of bigger aircraft or extra flights will then be needed?

As Etihad virtually bought Emirates, they don't seem to compete on the same routes. My guess us that they will eventually merge anyway...
I highly doubt they would merge - they are both doing quite well so I would assume that it would stay in a similar set up to be honest.
Personally I think both Qatar and Etihad could work if they used Newcastle as a stop on the way to New York - they'd make loads of money from freight, broon ale outbound and coal inbound (although they'll have to be quick before Jet2 jump in with their 767) 
Think that covers all the bases...
Getting back to the serious stuff, are the Wideroe flights to/from Bergen the past few Saturdays school ski trips?
Any other real news??

I'd be surprised if Qantas wern't considering a Sydney - Singapore - NCL on their A380s.
Every other day they could drop in to Dubai because reading these ludicrous posts there is clearly also not enough seats to the Middle East from NCL.

Did someone say New York??
I don't comment on here much these days for a few reasons, mainly though because in my opinion, this thread seems to be full of spotters living in dreamland.
Ready for incoming

There won't be any incoming beacuse everyone knows your right. The JFK, EK 777 and now Etihad posts have gone from being annoying to down right boring (might even be a wind up).
LOL
Don't be silly...NCL can't take the A380...

I have no doubt you are correct
, unfortunately the same individuals also demonstrate an acute lack of business skills, though this to an extent provides amusing reading from time to time

Can we not impose some kind of fine system for people who mention NYC, EK expansion? Surely it has been done to death and surely if it were so much of a brilliant opportunity, the suits in the offices of whatever airline, would have introduced something by now?
Lets see how many postings we can go for without the afore mentioned routes being brought up again?
My final word for expansion is small and steady.................lets not rush ahead!

On a serious note , could NCL handle an A380 diversion (in the unlikely event that all of MAN,BHX,LHR,LGW,STN,EMA,PIK,GLA,EDI are all closed at the same time).
And when did AF start using the smaller CRJ for the night stopper, would have thought that this would have been the most popular flight of the day. CDG figs have been in freefall for quite a while unfortunately

I'm sure I read somewhere that there are no longer any Ferry links between Newcastle and Scandinavia. Can anyone confirm?
If so, this must have opened up a lot of opportunities for new air links
