NEWCASTLE - 8
Thanks for all the rumours and news posted here- I was using them waiting to pounce on EZY GVA flights over Christmas - I think I got there within an hour of the release, sadly one thing is clear they have kept the high yield routes on!

Interestingly, for the dates in March I'm heading to CH, Easyjet are cheaper out of EDI, LPL and MAN than NCL, even though those flights have been on sale longer ! Actually booked on LX to ZRH from MAN, because by the time you add baggage and skis, they were way cheaper, with better choice of flights, and worth the extra travelling costs to MAN.

Easyjet winter
had a good look at the timetable and as it stands its 3 aircraft needed whoever that is only if the way the stn in the morning stays the way it does now.
looks like the FAO,AGP take turns during the week and leave ncl at 08:00 so the arriving STN would have to be at NCL for no later than 07:35.
With the outbound STN leaving around 7am
If however the STN turns out to be used by a NCL based aircraft on both sectors then a 4 aircraft is needed.
Im shocked to see Malta not being used during the winter thought the loads on that were good.
Could we not see some new winter routes launched from ncl in the coming days/weeks to make NCL a 5 based airport still
TFS,ACE,FUE,LPA,SSH,HRG,MAD??
i know its a long shot and probs will never happen.

easyJet winter
Poorer performing EZY routes are being pulled for the winter, supposedly to deliver a stronger financial performance.
I'm always a glass half full person, though I wasn't at all suprised to see these cuts. Infact, I'm amazed there is even a winter schedule.

Easyjet winter
STN Gone!!
Last winter on most days the schedule seemed to be operated by 3 aircraft.
I dont think there is a significant reduction in frequencies for the remaining routes compared with what operated last winter.
I dont think PMI operated for most of last winter.
Shame about Malta but presumably any subsidy has ended.
Stansted has been in decline for a few years now but I think the scheduling may be partly to blame. Doubt if it will ever come back.
However it will be interesting to see what happens for Summer 2011. Will the number of based aircraft increase or is NCL going the way of EMA.
Ryanair seem to be doing well at EMA after Easyjet left. Could this be repeated at NCL??.

I think this provides further evidence of the beginning of the end of ezy at NCL. Winter 09/10 had ops to Palma, Murcia and Malta, now gone. Scope is there for additional year round ops, if ezy were serious about developing the NCL base, to Egypt and the Canaries.
Lets hope NCL management are working behind the scenes to get another carrier in, but I don't have a lot of faith on that happening either. Were all doomed.

A number of people I know who live within 30 mins of NCL are off to Spain this half term. A surprising number of them are flying from Glasgow and Manchester because it's cheaper, £700 pounds for a family of 4 in one case. This situation can't be good for NCL.

Because the Scottish and English school summer and half-term holidays are different you often get passengers crossing the border to get cheaper fares. If anything it probably helps Newcastle by spreading out demand. If you fly to a holiday destination from NCL in early July you will find lots of people from Scotland on the plane. Re Easyjet I don't think they have done a good job from NCL, especially as there is not the same amount of direct competition from Ryanair as say Belfast, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

EZY
Hi,
I haven't really got a clue about things like this but since easyJet have announced there flights for winter 10/11 from NCL is there any chance they may announce anymore for that said period or would that be a very unusual thing for them to do saying other routes are now on sale?
Thanks,
EGNT

Any more gossip on the rumoured Lufthansa/BMI expansion at NCL? and considering Jet2 announed 6 new routes for this summer surely something new must be in the offing for summer 2011.

hi all,
I don't normally read this thread. What's happening with Easyjet at Newcastle these days ? A few years ago it seemed it was constant growth and new routes. I used their egnt-prague route a few times and it was always full. I see it's gone now. What's that about?
Also someone above suggests the Stansted link will go. You used to be able to get flights down there to link up with international routes for a tenner. Is the key hub for Easyjet going to be Bristol now? Will driving be the only option for stansted soon? Thanks.

If Easyjet are thinking of ending the Stansted flights, I will be not be happy. I have used this route often over the years, starting when it was operated by Gill, then Go and now Easyjet. Loads have always been good when I have flown. If it does go I hope someone else takes it up.

Turkish Flights
Over the years I can recall:
Onur Air
Pegasus
Sun Express
Sunways
KTHY I think have made a few appearances
THY Turkish Airlines have appeared a few times
Sky Airlines (new to NCL this year)
SAGA
Freebird
Turkuaz
One Turkish Airline that operated 727s which I can't remember the name of...
Any others?
