I think this was the loan taken out by the previous Airport Director ,the one that the settlement was about.

if the loan is taken out in the operating business name of Newcastle airport then the airport is responsible for it like any other business would be regardless of ownership.
However the business can pay out of funds it has or ask its shareholders to inject more money (as has happened in a lot of businesses recently) or one shareholder could inject more money and increase their stake at the expense of the other or one/both shareholders could loan the business money to pay off the debt but it would be treated as a loan on their books and interest could be paid on that in the same way as it is to a bank.

It is unlikey that one of the shareholders is responsible for the entire loan unless it was part of some agreement at the time this was undertaken or unless one of the shareholders were underwriters for the loan i.e if Newcastle Airport cant pay, then whoever legally agreed to back it (in order to get the loan in the first place) could be liable.

That's a shame about the NQY route, if confirmed. I used it to get back just this morning (the longest route in England?) and was making plans for a couple more trips this summer.
ASW timetable has been updated on there website. Last flight will operate 28th April

NQY

Shame about the NQY route. Thought it would have been coming up to its most busy time.

What sort of aircraft did they use ?.

Dash 8-300....better to pull it in winter rather than summer, I would have thought.....but Eastern would have made an economics based decision.

Might Newcastle have to introduce a Passenger Facility Fee to pay of the loan?

Would imagine it will be from Scot Airways. Anyone have any idea how long this aircraft will be 'leased' for?

Didn't G-OJIB also arrive today Astraeus? Hope they have removed the Iron Maden tail motif!

According to Jethro it's all white, G-STRX is the iron maiden aircraft, looks like it will be boring after all.

They should have captured Bin Laden alive and made him continually go through NCL airport security for the rest of his life.

Ash666,
we all know how bad ANY airport security can be and NOT just newcastle.
im sure the staff are just as fed up with constantly having to deal with people like you moaning about the process WHICH IS FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY.
if your not happy then get the bus.

Also something else to note, the airport does not choose the way it operates security, if other airports take shortcuts then thats up to them.

I have "got the bus". Actually the train down and bus back. Long haul now I go from LHR and what a nice experience it is compared to NCL.
Coming back a couple of weeks ago from touchdown to getting luggage and leaving was barely 20 mins.

Cram1075.
Well said.

However I cannot understand how it can be better/quicker to get the train or bus from Newcastle to/ from LHR then go longhaul, than fly from NCL to LHR and connect to longhaul. In particular the connections via BA through T5 are especially good.

Of course the connections through AMS in my opinion are also very good.

Am I the only one who has found the security at NCL to be fine. I have always found the people very pleasant, and the process no worse than anywhere else, in fact much better than many other airports.

Whats the problem?.

A lot is in the timings, of course, and a single flight should minimise the risk of my luggage not making the trip which happened with monotonous regularity via AMS and then there is the truly awful KLM flight to AMS from NCL which may or may not take off on time/at all/ not be overbooked/laughed at at AMS when you eventually get there and complain("of course we overbook our flights")/ break down(me: "why do your planes break down so often"?. KLM girl:"I wish I could tell you"!!!).
The train to LHR is very low stress and easy in comparison and the late bus back is great, just fall asleep and arrive at Newcastle at 6am ready for the day.

I have had good and bad security issues at NCL as ash has stated it has a lot to do with timings, they do seem to have problems when confronted with any volume of pax.

On an all together different subject does anyone know what is happening with the as yet unopened Airport Hotel - any news on if any operator will ever take it on
