easyJet operates alongside KLM on the following routes from AMS:
Basel, Berlin (SXF vs TXL), Bristol, Edinburgh, Geneva, Glasgow, London (LTN/STN/LGW vs LHR/LCY), Madrid, Manchester, Milan (MXP vs LIN), Prague and Rome.
easyJet also operates alongside Air France on more than 20 routes from Paris.
There's clearly enough room for both, so let's hope KLM don't cut NCL (or MME) frequencies as a result.

I remember a few years ago Jet 2 started NCL-AMS up against KL twice daily. It then quickly went to once daily, then they gave up altogether. I think it only lasted for a few months.
During that time the KL frequency was maintained with a modest drop in LF. I dont know how the company will react this time if it happens.
Dont forget a large proportion of KL passengers are flying onward from AMS.
Of course EZY have competed with AF to CDG for a few years now and it seems to have worked. But its ending at the end of summer schedules and they will have to do something with the based aircraft. So new routes are likely to be announced. We will find out soon where to.

Just returned from Tenerife last night. Pleasant experience coming through the airport other than the grumpy sod who I'm sure was trying to fit a 757 load of passengers onto one bus. Passing through security and baggage reclaim was a breeze, a shame not all airports were like this...
A bit miffed to see the TOM 757 that we'd left behind in TFS had reached NCL before us though...
All in all, a very pleasant experience both outbound and inbound.

Passenger figures up for March.
According to provisional CAA stats there was a 4.2% increase in passengers for March 2012 vs 2011.
Still some routes not included in figures ie BRS so actual % may rise.
Rolling year 0.1% up. Not much but its positive which i dont think has been seen for some time.
AMS showing 18% increase.

Yes I too have noted the improvement recently. To an extent though I still remain to be convinced that when pax numbers do pick up for the summer season then things will remain so.
Case in point (excuse pun!) but when EK 35 dumps it's baggage on one of the rotary machines, then it does not take long before the whole machine is log jammed with baggage, due to the obligatory hold ups of pax at immigration, & this is with four stations open........
Now if the baggage machine was required to handle simultaneous baggage for two flights or a 777.........., then one wonders as to how this issue is to be countered?
Though as ever best to travel business class

Technically they've not gone under, but been 'mothballed' with passengers refunded. The owner hasn't ruled out restarting in the future

Some March Prov.stats:
Gatwick: +1%
Heathrow: +14%
Aberdeen: -24%
Belfast City: +13%
Belfast Int: +9% <----I wonder if easyJet are considering upping this to thrice daily all week, rather than selected days
Brussels: +2% <-----What does the future hold for this route once the BMIR deal goes through, will SN upgrade to RJ85s again, or opt for FlyBe Q400s?
Paris CDG: +8%
Dusseldorf: +26%
Dublin: +28%
Amsterdam: +18%
Stavanger: +50%
Dubai: Stayed flat, with the introduction of the 77W in Sept and the better facilities, might we see people being brough back to NCL that had been driving to GLA/MAN for the 77W/A380 flights?

I have received a special offer email from easyjet this evening advertising Newcastle to Paris November from £25.49 and Newcastle to Amsterdam from £27.49. Is this a late April fool as you certainly can't book these flights on the booking engine?
I assume should the email be correct that these flights must be coming on sale from tomorrow, at least we know Paris has not gone and the rumour about Amsterdam must be correct also

Well on the company internal website, 9 new routes have been announced, as usual most are from LGW, one from man to Tel Aviv, a Birmingham to Belfast flight and also a Newcastle to Amsterdam
.
I had to go searching for this info, as we have not been told officially.
First time in a while that we have had some good news

But has Paris def gone as in my earlier post its in my November special offers email along with Amsterdam. Also my home page which is set up to show Ncle flights first is scrolling Paris as bookable from Newcastle after October although it wont let you book a flight through the booking engine?

NCL 12-13
For this coming winter, the Brussels flight will move back to Brussels Airlines (from BMI), likely to be operated by a Dash 8-400 leased from Flybe.
NCL 06:05 - BRU 09:00 SN2194 x7
BRU 10:10 - NCL 10:55 SN2187 x67
NCL 11:25 - BRU 14:20 SN2188 x67
BRU 15:40 - NCL 16:25 SN2189 x6
NCL 16:55 - BRU 19:50 SN2189 x6
BRU 20:50 - NCL 21:35 SN2193 x6
Also the EZY A320 will be staying over the winter, and there are gaps in the programme for the rumoured Amsterdam flights on Mon/Wed/Thu/Fri & Sun.
