The rest of the work has gone out to tender as far as im aware

Good news about jet2

How much money have the councils had out of their shareholding over the years?

[RIDLER]

I'm sure you'll find the answers some where within previous published company accounts, not on a spotters forum.

[Jamesair]

I'm sure it is a matter of public record but I'm not sure where you would source the information. Each Public Authority involved would have to record it's dividend receipt. The Airport is 51% Public and 49% Private ownership.

Newcastle Airport investor says Tyneside should look to US for growth - Today's News - News - JournalLive

Boe Pahari, AMP’s head of infrastructure, said the company was very much a long-term investor. He added: “Newcastle has excellent potential, there are no other airports really within two hours’ drive. In the region the unemployment rate is falling, there is a lot here. We think we can bring in some expertise to support the other shareholders and the airport team, who are very strong already. It’s early days for us, but we are very upbeat about this. There are areas of development we can explore, obviously in terms of route expansion and the site itself.”

He also said...

Asked if the US was an option, he said: “Everything is on the table, we want to explore that, yes.”

Guessing the local press needing feeding it's annual US story

[N707ZS]

Must of been drinking his tinnys. Didn't realise it was more than a two hour drive to Teesside.

[JKKne]

I guess he/they don't consider DTV a threat which at the moment, it simply isn't.

With all respect to that airport and it's staff

[Hipennine]

Doesn't take me anywhere near 2 hours to get to LBA either !

[GrahamK]

Not big news but I see the airport website has had a bit of a makeover.

JET2 ALICANTE

Frequency for summer 2013 increased from 8 to 10 using an Alicante based 737-300 for two additional rotations on Mon/Thurs...IN 0935...OUT 1040

I'm sure you'll find the answers some where within previous published company accounts, not on a spotters forum.

Riddler - welcome to Pprune. It was very good of you to join just to tell me that statement of the obvious, or is Riddler just one of your usernames.

Note that it is winter 2013/14 timetable to Cancun where Newcastle will see the dreamliner not 1 April 2013 - making it the 5th UK airport to host the Thomson 787 on a longhaul flight.

[GrahamK]

Nonstop or via MAN?

Tuesdays from 1st April on the Cancun flights:

That's 1st April 2014 as I understand it.

Delta flights from Newcastle to Detroit USA

According to Wikipedia; Newcastle Airport Destinations page today. Delta Air Lines appear as operating service to Detroit from 6th December 2013 - Is this correct?! Later, I also noticed American Airlines to JFK from 2/12/2013, and United to Newark from 3/12/2013 and Air Berlin to Berlin from July 2013 - Surely 3 USA routes cannot be correct! These do not cross reference on the Airline or corresponding airport pages.
