TSR2,
Is this true if you are using different carriers?
For example if you fly UK/AMS on a loco and then long haul on KLM on two separate bookings.
I can't see how the UK HMR&C could levy taxes ex AMS?

B777 & Runway shoulders
Ops Guy....
B777 is an ICAO 'Code E' type for airfield infrastructure, but so is the A330. According to ICAO Annex 14 and the UK's CAP 168, a Code E runway of 45m width should have 7.5 metres paved shoulders. The A330 has been using this runway for some time, presumably on a safety case type approval from the CAA. FOD due to blast or erosion of the grass shoulder should not be any greater an issue with the B777, being a twin. Ultimately it will be a matter for NCL to agree with the CAA, having looked at any other safety issues which may arise from the absence of paved shoulders.

Yes, the APD applies irrespective of the airlines involved, providing the flights are considered connected and shown on the same ticket.
As far as I understand, if you book individual flights then they are not connected and therefore APD is payable on the first flight only.

could I invite all staff at NCL to go to LHR and learn how to run an airport. I arrived back yesterday evening and immigration took seconds. No queues and only a second or two to pass through, none of this endless scanning the passport through readers, staring at the screen, back to the passenger, back to the screen etc that we get at NCL. Got to the luggage carousel very quickly and there was my bag. Plane landed 6.45pm and I was driving away at 7.15pm.
What a different experience to NCL.

NCL is a regional airport ash666. In other words it is backward. Look
1. Litter pinned to wire fence going to the terminal.
2. Rotating doors normally unserviceable.
3. Slowest lift in western Hemisphere.
4. Airconditioning constantly broken on floor 3.
5. Smell of piss from filthy carpets near stand 2 waiting area.
6. Escalator to arrivals off more often than not.
7. Grey grubby fat people smoking outside terminal ( not in smoking area ) binning fag ends all over the place.
8. Shed like sliding doors leaving the arrivals hall.
Anyone think of any more?

Ryanair
Note that Ryanair have Oslo and Dublin on sale for Summer 2011.
No sign yet of Girona.
Re CAA stats the Sept 2010 vs Sept 2009 pax numbers down by just 1%. The -5.6% YTD numbers will include the Ash cloud and BA strike so I suppose that would have been better if it was not for those factors.
Positive signs ??.
Any news of Stansted after this winter ??.

EasyJet have released their summer 2011 flights from Newcastle. No Rome or Murcia. No Stansted either, but I suppose the route may still run operated by Stansted-based planes.

Chief executive Carolyn McCall has said easyjet is committed to the airport…..
..and is focused on retaining a “profitable share” of the market.

Pity about the Rome flight, I use(d) that one.
Apart from EK which seems to be a big success it seems like NCL is going down the pan. How unfortunate to have it as my local airport.

What should not be overlooked is that effectively NCL's catchment area is decreasing. A decent no. of Pax. used to come from the North, even well accross the border, but due to a diminishing Loco offering at NCL vs. EDI which now offers a very comprehensive no. of Loco sevices / destinations, then this has all but dried up. This basically leaves Thompson & TCX to trawl in what there is from this corner of the market by means of capacity control & favourable pricing.
