New aircraft type for NCL on Thursday

Seems that the airport have let the cat out of the bag with a message from a social networking site.

BA787 due into NCL around 10AM Thursday from Manston, leaving around 13:00 for EDI.

Does anyone know why this site replaces something rhyming with Bitter with pPrune?

TCX6524 delayed from NCL this evening.

Does anybody know is this a tech issue or has the aircraft in question positioned elsewhere to operate another flight? I believe it's G-JMCG.

Seems like JMCG has gone tech, i thought that was YL-LCL's job

Will MT be chartering in an aircraft to cover?

JMCE has positioned in to do the mornings rotation to NBE.

JMCG left at around 8 this morning to DLM with a hefty delay.

Is NCL a bit busy at the moment, it seems that the inbound EZY from AGP is holding off the coast at 2,000ft. Don't think I've EVER seen a/c holding to get into NCL

Easyjet

Do they still have 1 x 320 and 2 x 319s at NCL. Today it looks like 3 x 319s?

Appears to be 1 x 320 and 2 x 319s still (there is a third 319 comes in BRS about 07.30 each weekday which then goes to one of the Spanish destinations and then back to BRS)

Good connections and prices to NY. If they run it long enough this time and promote it properly it could be a winner.

Very good news especially as it's 2xdaily M - F & Su, 1 Sa. operated with a mix of ATR 72/42 a/c.

How will Ryanair respond????

No news announcement today on the airport website....they seem very slow to act when there is important route news like this.

I know, I nearly added that, Graham (I wanted to hide their blushes).

Boys running an airport you constantly have to 'balance' lots of things. Easyjet got a load of publicity them selves for the TFS, now if the airport was seen to be rubbing other noses in it!! i.e. other operators who already fly to TFS.....

As for the new DUB flights well every one has a timetable to run to and its not up to the airport to go against such things. Has EI publicly announced it?? Your average Joe public won't know the flights were in the 'system'!!

Purely my thoughts.......
