I suppose using the 3 class 77W's is better anyway, brings the load factors up and of course, IF we ever het the rumoured 2nd daily flight (and possibly the DXB-NCL-JFK route) I'd hope we might get first class which, obviously would mean it would always be a 3 class aircraft.

EZY London Gatwick - Newcastle

Seems certain this service will commence as of March next year for Summer '14. A quick look at the EZY schedules shows the early morning Bristol rotation being done by a Bristol-based aircraft during the week, meaning the normal NCL-BRS-AGP-NCL aircraft will now route as below:

NCL-based aircraft: NCL-LGW-AGP-NCL
LGW-based aircraft: LGW-NCL-AGP-LGW

There are also a few gaps in the evening schedules for a second daily flight to LGW, though not every day so could be a mix of LGW-based aircraft, or just a 2nd daily rotation on certain days.

Cheers

It will be good to see some affordable fares return to the NCL-LON route since we lost STN and I'm sure LGW will be successful for them. Should make connections to other LGW routes much easier, might finally get to GIB!

NCL-based aircraft: NCL-LGW-AGP-NCL
LGW-based aircraft: LGW-NCL-AGP-LGW
Simple yet very effective utilisation of their aircraft, meaning an early flight in both directions.

There's sure to be an early evening flight too, to make it a viable business service. Although my bet would be a LGW or NCL machine doing both legs.

VC-10 flypast?

Apparently it is the last ever flight of an RAF VC-10 today, before the aircraft are retired and replaced with Voyagers.

After their mission they will complete a flyby of Newcastle, Warton, RAF Conninsby, RAF Marham, Birmingham, RAF Lossiemouth, RAF Leuchars, and Prestwick.

Anyone know what time they are due to overfly each airport?

EDIT: There are two NOTAMs out for NCL:

VC-10 Flypast

Hi All - RAF VC-10 ZA147 made an on time fly-by down Runway 25 at Newcastle this afternoon. Pic: VC-10: ZA147/F VC-10 K3 Newcastle Airport | Flickr - Photo Sharing! The down side is that I first saw it as East African Airways 5H-MMT more than 43 years ago! Cheers.

Certainly not a down side but a priviledge! LHR in the late 60's, lived down there & remember it well. Take away Airbus & Boeing & the place no longer has a lot going for it...............

San Marino registration

A Gulfstream V turned up today with the registration T7-TIL, which it seems is registered in San Marino, a tiny state that doesn't have a airport! Pic: Gulfstream: T7-TIL Gulfstream V Newcastle Airport | Flickr - Photo Sharing! To reply to other posts there is a lot of talk about the UAE 747/737s but no hard news. And the Ukrainian An-74 was back today and should be a regular visitor for a short while. Cheers.

Do Jet2 not realise they've been operating to Prague and Krakow for a few years now? Very weird press announcement on their website...

TCX

A lot of chatter on the TCX thread about the 321 replacing the 757 at NCL in 2014, apart from some definate no's, the definate yes's seem to have it.

I thought I had posted on here about tcx replacing the 757's for 2 new A321

As Cardiff based a321 is to become a leased in aircraft from a third party.

Heard yesterday that the a320 and 767 of TCX will pass through ncl during this coming winter but not sure on what flights yet
