With EZY pulling off the STN and no obvious contender to stand in on the route...could we see FLYBE increasing capacity on the LGW route from the dash to something bigger...pax wont have much option left once STN goes and LHR getting cut backs from BA.
Interesting points on the Berlin route...guess this would have to be Lufthansa if targetting the business market, surely they would be expecting a twice daily service at least...other option again would be FLYBE.

Some credible rumours circulating that TCX are looking at 4 aircraft next summer. 
I imagine this has come through some sort of deal with the airport to keep the passengers coming through the airport.

I should imagine the EK777 will be on the pier with BA lump on the remote stands.
With regard to the TCX extra aircraft, I'd sooner have it for a season and lose it than not have it at all.

BAladdy...
The rumour about LCY-NCL is interesting actually.
I heard a rumour about a year ago that Eastern were looking at doing LCY-NCL for 2010. I was told (from a source who has no reason to lie) that the service would be 2x daily, and "partly subsidised" by the promise of regular passengers from a major multi-national company. The deal (or so I am told) fell through largely as the recession hit home, but also that a BA subsidiary had begun looking at LCY-NCL as a possible 3x daily rotation. The company that had approached Eastern, already had a large corporate contract with BA, and T3 didn't fancy running the risk of the deal falling through. I believe T3 have operated LCY-NCL before?
The corporate client was heavily hinted at being Corus.
I have no idea how true it was, or how close it came to fruition, but the man who told me would have little or no reason to make it up...
RTG!

AF
I semi frequently use the AF flights out of NCL and note that on a forthcoming flight I am supposed to be on an E145 operated by Britair (first flight out; last in). Now after using Britair many times, I only believed they operated CRJs and F100s. Is my schedule wrong? What currently operates flight 5850 out on a morning?

Bacf Lcy
Could be a money maker, espcially if it is in conjunction with a large corporate customer. LCY is primarily business orientated, but would it not detract business (LON bound) away from LHR? Must admit never saw this one coming, if it materialises!

75th Birthday - what are your plans?
What are people's plans for viewing on the 26th July? Seems the airport is not providing any suitable viewing area.
I am thinking of heading SW towards Black Calleton to catch the take off's assuming 25 is in use. I think there is some elevated ground in that area. I remember seeing some photo's on fightercontrol.co.uk from the airshow last year. Seems a good spot. I think the road near 25 threshold offers a limited view nowadays.

I have to presume that is only the "Reggies"
that are getting really worked up about this. It's a PR based thing for NCL & also an opportunity for NCL & the airlines who will no doubt both have their marketing machines locked in overdrive.
Gone are the days when the airport can make a big thing by inviting public attendance, as ironically there would be no where for a volume public attendees to view any visitors. It is also a Monday & basically "Joe Public" doesn't get worked up about the odd 777 / 747 that visit / divert in on an irregular basis. Incidentally there is even the chance that the EK 777 & the BA747 could both theoretically have visited NCL previously.
As for Red arrows, then the reaction at NCL would be no different from anywhere else, though perhaps slightly more indifferent as they are fairly regular visitors in any event.
Now if someone wants to fly a 380 (of which I have not heard anything at all) at c. 200ft down the runway then I really can't even see that stirring up a great deal of interest to the average inhabitant of Tyneside, though I'm sure that from a suitable angle it would provide a great publicity shot.
Are locals genuinely "excited" about the prospect of an EK 773 and BA 747 ? Red Arrows, A380 flypasts etc maybe....
