EZY A319s

claireybaby: 21st January 2009 (AviationNE mentioned it), I think your first post asking this was moved.

Seen the EZY monthly timetable (NIA NOV 08 Issue) and the A319s have now been included.
Main routes for the new buses seem to be BRS, GVA and STN (Doesnt STN timetable also include STN sending one of their A319s up here?)
Also CDG, PMI, MJV, KRK, BFS and BCN timetables included the A319s.

No airbuses timetabled on the CIA, PRG, NCE, AGP, FAO routes as of yet.

Can anyone confirm that the two aircraft are G-EZIH and G-EZAM?

What the?! My apologies. What a hurrendous mistake.

Any Gate people on here with any idea of the Gate shift patterns for PSA's?

Sorry if this is a repost but what has happened to the GA Hangar at the Southside of the Airport, I was up there today visiting Northumbria Helicopters and its vanished?

What is that area designated for now?

I noticed a couple of JET 2 aircraft parked down there too, any idea why?

Do you mean the Gill hangar?

Got Demolished earlyer this year and is now an avation college soon to have a Ex European BAC 1-11 inside its mini hangar area.

The two Jet2.com 737's were parked on the cargo ramp! They haven't flown any passengers today so they will have been left there since there mail runs last night ready for tonights mail flights.

Lukelad,

Not sure if it was the Gill hangar, but it used to house Northumbria Helicopters aircraft and some small GA stuff, its the one directly outside the front of the Police Helicopter 'office'!

Do you know why it has been removed, there is no sign of anything being built in its place?

FlyBe - according to the e-mail I've just received Jersey, Rennes and Limoge are all new for 2009(sic). No Frankfurt...

Hangar - this is the Bellman hangar, demolished before it fell down and because it made the place look untidy...

Is the flying club going to move or is it staying where it is?

Gill Aviation Hanger + GA

Gill Aviation hangar was demolished earlier this year and a new building is being built which will be used by Newcastle College for their aviation engineering courses.
Flying school isn't going anywhere for a while, havent heard any plans from them to be moving, I doubt they will, because although Newcastle are re-generating the southside I don't think that includes new approns being built (Correct me if I'm wrong someone)
Also I'm sure that I read that as part of the re-generation the old terminal/wings bar is being turned into a visitors/enthusiasts centre? Good news if that is the case.

KNIEVEL77: I don't think any major international airport particularly likes general aviation getting in the way, but I'm quite annoyed Newcastle always seem to hold a grudge against the flying school. To be honest there isn't much choice in the north east for flying schools, apart from Durham Tees Valley. The school is doing well in terms of members numbers and lessons booked. Takes about 2 weeks to get a lesson in the diary now. So I think they'll be alright.

GeorgEGNT,

It won't be going anywhere in a hurry. Thats my personal opinion anyway, I'm going up to see them tomorrow so I'll poke about the notice board etc.
Anyone know if the MNG Kargo aircraft are still operating out of the cargo ramp and rough times of departures?

I Believe MNG had their Uk operating licence revoked and so have left the airport all together. A Italian Fokker is now operating the Bristol Mail route.
