Jet 2
good news, it looks like:-
Alicante 1/3/5/6
Faro 4/6/7
Krakow 1/5
Toulouse 7
with Monastir increased to 2 x weekly
Odd one out is Prague which starts in November 2010 5/7 then increases to 3 weekly in December.....no flights scheduled yet after the end of December.
Looks like another a/c will be needed.

Prague is 2 weekly through Jan, Feb and March and increases to 3 x weekly for the summer season.
Cork now on sale for summer as well, 2 x weekly, although Split is still unavailable (dropped?).

PRG has been a miss in the network since EZY dropped the route - popular for short breaks, stag/hen parties etc. The reduced frequency should serve the market better.
ALC is a popular one for NE holiaymakers, many people have second homes and with the uncertainty over EZY at NCL, a sure fire winner for LS.
FAO - head to head with EZY?
KRK - did LS not previously serve the route and drop it due to unsatisfactory loads?
TLS - didnt see that one coming!
MIR - once a week obviously proved popular, lets not forget though that LS do a clever thing and sell seats to tour operators.
Did think BJV/VCE and possibly some other destinations would feature!

KRK was served by LS (same frequency - Mon & Fri) using a B752 for a time (2006/7 I believe), but then EZY came onto the route and LS backed off, which was then shortly followed by EZY cancelling the route too.
ALC & FAO tie in very nicely with the rumour that EZY will stick with 3 aircraft for Summer 2011 (down from 5 in 2010), so LS will be testing the resolve of EZY to hang onto these routes, given that they will have to make certain cuts to fit everything in to the reduced programme.
So it seems like LS will be back to the aircraft levels they had based in Summer 2007 (2 x B752, 3 x B733) although the utilisation of the aircraft will be higher in Summer 2011 than it was back in 2007.
Aegean Flights/H4U seem to have a very much expanded programme for Summer 2011 from NCL, with Onur Air flights to DLM 5 x per week, BJV 3 x per week and a Sky Airlines AYT 1 x per week planned so far (peak season). Add to this the extra AYT & HRG for TCX and (hopefully) the void created by EZY should be well on the way to being filled.
On top of this there are also the persistent rumours of someone picking up the STN route vacated by EZY aswell as the possibility of a new link to Germany (BER/FRA) coming next year. I would also maybe expect somone (possibly LS/RYR) to seriously consider taking up the MLA route left by EZY too.

Jet 2
Pisa also on sale for summer 2011. Wonder what Easyjet will do next summer. Will they bring back aircraft or stick with 3, or something else?. They seem to have little interest in NCL now. It must be the smallest base they have.
I note Easyjet are starting Belfast to Malta when the NCL route ends, any possible financial deal ending on the NCL route and starting on the BFS route ??.
Good news re JET 2.

Seems that a 6th aircraft could even be required as browsing through their schedules, days 4/5/7 require more aircraft. Could more routes be announced in the coming weeks?
Other points to note:
On the note of OHY charters, there appears to be 4 BJV and 5 DLM charters onbehalf of Holidays4U, that seems like alot!
Other points to note:
- MAH up to 2 flights per week
- AGP increased by 1 extra flight
- IBZ increased by 1 extra flight

The news item on the airport website states that Jet 2 will be basing an additional 737 giving a total of 5 aircraft with additional frequencies on some of the existing routes.
Any new car park codes?

Krakow back with Jet2 was a welcome suprise as a said a couple of weeks ago Prague was coming back with another low cost carrier.
I certainly think the new German routes to FRA and BER are certain to be announced in the next few weeks. However the possibility of STN now looks less likley to happen.
I have also been informed by the same source that told me about Prague that Monarch scheduled are to announce 5 (i think) routes from Newcastle Teneriffe is one I believe I am not sure at present of the others.
Except for EZY lack of interest things may be beginning to look up!!

Ive heard Luxor with TCX next summer, and 4 aircraft is now a certainty.

Having just had a peak at Monarch's website, the following routes are listed when NCL is selected as a departure point, though I suspect this is what is currently offered by AVRO (the charetr flight only side of the business?)
- Corfu
- Dalaman
- Heraklion
- Rhodes
- Palma
- Tenerife

It says they are all Jet2 flights......Newcastle is one of airports listed in light print on their website. Airports they operate from are in heavy print.
I'm interested to see if Eastern come up with anything new for next year and, of course, Lufthansa/BMI and will anyone take up Malta?
