Only the morning rotation STN>NCL has been a STN based a/c, the morning NCL>STN and the evening return has been NCL based.

So, the summer will leave easyJet with AGP, ALC, BCN, BFS, BRS, FAO, MLA, PMI, CDG, NCE, (MAH & IBZ July & August) and then possibly still STN if they can make it work. The confirmed routes to go in summer 2011 are CIA and MJV.

So 3 aircraft dowm but only 2 routes to go? Must be serious frequency reductions on some of those being kept, presumably the double daily flights to AGP, ALC and PMI will be reduced to daily or worse? Unless they start 24 hour flying no way 3 aircraft can do all that.

cjags - how reliable is your info that STN is staying, NCL management don't seem to know about this and are still in talks with other potential airlines for this route

Any chance of Rome being picked up by anyone else? LS?

Italy is scarce on NCL route network, with only NAP, PSA, VRN and TRN served via weely charter/loco services.

EZY obviously lost the MJV battle to the red army!

ncleflights - It's reliable. Also, if you try to book STN seats, it no longer pops up with "This route is only available until 31st October". The seats are still not actually on sale yet.

while it's quiet here, not just a NCL question that came up in a newspaper.
If a flight lands after an uneventful trip what happens to the data on the black box? Left on the box, wiped, taken off and stored???

The data remains on the recorder, usually up to about the last 20hrs or so, then re-recorded on a continuous loop.

Stansted

Stansted back on sale for Nov-March. Seems to now be operated by a STN based a/c with the rotation starting STN at 07:00 with the return sector NCL-STN at 08:30.

It does however mean that a working day in London which one can do now with a 07:00 NCL departure and a 21:15 STN return will be more or less impossible with flight times of 08:30/18:25.

Hopefully numbers wont drop too much and they will keep it going post March. I personally like to use it to connect to a FR flight out of STN.

Thanks flightlevel001. I guess 20hrs is enough in case any future probs arise with the plane and they want to look back on the data.

Why is Thomas Cook Belgium flying from IBZ to NCL today? It landed at 12:30 and took off at 13:30.

Yes it will be A320. All chartered flights to the UK & Ireland are done by 320.

Interesting post on arrivals board 'TCX873L 7:55 KOS DIVERTED TO MAN ETA NCL BY ROAD 0230' are they making the passengers walk from Manchester? Obviously more to this than first meets the eye I suspect.

Slightly off track but does anyone know what the latest plans are in respect of the new Airport Hotel.

I noticed earlier this week that it had been removed from the list of Hilton Hotels to open in 2010. Is the plan to open now in 2011 or has Hilton pulled out of the deal?

Does anyone know

And another one hits the dust.....Kiss Flights ceased trading today.

I have picked out 4 flight series from Newcastle solely involving Kiss....Corfu, Rhodes, Heraklion and Dalaman...first three operated by Viking and the fourth by SGX.

Passengers must be wondering who they can trust with their holidays.

On the airbus the flight data is transmitted automatically to the operator on engine shutdown. The later Boeing 737ngs stored it on a PCMIA card which was manually downloaded every few days. Data is then stored as required.

Greek God,
thanks for that. I was wondering after my last post as 20 hours isn't even 2 long haul flights.
