passenger traffic to Brussels in May was 3,326 up 96% on last May. Shows what a good move increasing the frequency was.

ACARS

The SN2188/9 (Out 12:05 Rtn 16:00) is non-op for July & August, guess this has something to do with the school hols lowering demand.

Seem to remember when SN flew the route 4 times daily that it would drop down to 3 (or 2) during this period too, so nothing unusual in this move.

any particular reason for EZY poor performance over the last week or 2? Regularly delayed by a couple of hours+ and 2(at least) cancelled today.

Wow those BRU figures are pretty impressive...you think SN/BMI will upgrade the a/c soon?

Good to see a commuter route doing well!!

or what a bad move reducing it in the first place was...

The old schedule didn't make sense for a lot of people, the current schedule/aircraft size is a lot better mix (agree that reduction in frequency on this type of service is normal over the summer - shouldn't be anything to worry about)

Too right about Brussels, its a route that needs frequency one flight a day is useless for business people. Thats why I hope Copenhagen gets back on track at 2 x daily soon.

Still hoping there might be mileage in that Lufthansa/BMI a/c basing rumour now that the first experiment seems to be working.

There are alot of EZY delays and cancellations due to a system wide cabin crew shortage

Jet2

What planes do Jet2 have based at Newcastle for S10? And what one gets used for the Thursday Sharm flight?

Thanks, ncl2010

ncl2010, 2 or 3 B737-300s and 2 x B757-200s.

Sharm El Sheikh will always be a 757

Thanks GrahamK, does this mean that Newcastle is without a B75W?

Jet2 have had a 75W based at NCL most of the summer so far! G-LSAE at the moment!

Is there a prospect or possibility of more new routes from Jet2 for S11 or will it remain as it is at 4 aircraft, a more steady, cautious approach as opposed to a dramatic increase year on year?

They seem to be doing ok, selling loco seat onlys to leisure/holiday destinations, as well as offering independant and major tour operators space on their flights. Maybe the likes of KGS, BJV, HRG, LCA, DBV, FAO and VCE would fit in with their NCL portfolio of leisure routes?

No PSA, ORK or SPU on sale yet...?

In some ways the Jet 2 schedule released so far is very much a default schedule to enable sales to start for next summer. There are only a few changes compared to this year. However after significant expansion this year, consolidation maybe a prudent approach

No doubt a lot will depend on what, if anything, changes with Easyjet at NCL. If Easyjet do end up cutting back then clearly that would present Jet 2 with a very good opportunity to expand at NCL. It is still early with regards to next summer so Jet 2 have time to wait and see what happens

airhumberside -with regard to your comment about any possible expansion from Jet2 been dependant on any changes with Easyjet at NCL. I believe that Easyjet formally advised/confirmed with the airport that from Oct 10 NCL would be a 3 aircraft base.

I know they are already talking to a couple of airlines about picking up STN route, cant tell you which these are but its not obviously Jet2

Jet2 is becoming more and mor a leisure airline as opposed to a no frills, and as so is moving away from the easy / ryanair model. Point to point city or domestic routes are unlikely to appeal to Jet2 in the future, I would not be surprised to see long haul holiday destinations added for next year. Jet2 holidays are apparently doing very well!

This has nothing to do with Newcastle, just thought I'd share. It's a KLM ad at Manchester airport.

While in general that is true, Jet 2 have started MAN-Prague this summer, are making LBA-FCO year round and increasing MAN-BUD/FCO frequencies. So expansion of 'city' routes is always possible
