A fair few diversions in today, including an EK 77W from BHX, and BA 747, 767 and 777, with two more BA 744s en-route into Newcastle now.
Has there ever been a time where NCL has seen 3 x 747s on the ground at the same time?

Israel
Hope everyone had a good christmas.
I have just finished watching the Top Gear Special and it got me thinking, apologies if this is already been talked about. But what are the chances of the airport getting a link to Israel?
Would El AL launch a route to Tel Aviv or even Jet2 at twice weekly, do you think it would work? Just with the large Jewish population in Gateshead i would have thought it would.
Hope you all have a good New Years!

Just out of interest, is it possible to take an unassembled brand new shotgun on board an internal UK flight from Stansted to Newcastle or do I need to contact Easyjet and the airport security and get clearance and paperwork first?

I seem to recall easyJet allow the carraige of sport/competition firearms in the hold, however I do believe you need to contact the airline before you travel.

From easyjet:
For an additional non-refundable fee we can take sporting or competition firearms and a maximum of five kilos of ammunition on board.
Please note that firearms must be packed individually in a suitable gun bag and ammunition must be packed securely in a hard wooden or metal box. Ammunition with explosive or incendiary projectiles is prohibited.
In addition, you must inform us in advance that you wish to take firearms or ammunition on board and you will need to show valid documentation of proof of ownership and legal authority for the possession of the firearm at check-in (even if you are carrying only ammunition). Please make sure you arrive at check-in at least 90 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of your flight in order that we can carry out all the necessary checks. If you arrive after this time you may not be allowed to fly.
Please call our Customer Experience Team on 0871 244 2366 to let us know if you are travelling with a firearm or ammunition.
For more information about sports/competition firearms and baggage allowances check out our Carrier's Regulations.
Not sure what difference if any it will make if the firearm is not assembled, but I think a call to the airline would be a good place to start.

RYANAIR
Although Dublin and Oslo (Rygge) are bookable for 2011 there is still no sign of Gerona. Anyone heard if this service will happen or if some other route may be announced?

On Dec 23 Ryanair announced a 5 year extension to their Girona base and the routes have only started to go on sale on Dec 23 and with Christmas and New Year so it should be on sale over the next week or two.
