Was it maybe just positioning back into NCL?

Out of curiosty, what's the flight coming from Esbjerg regarding?

"EZ325A ESBJERG 0740"

Or is the flight code something in particular? The only EZ near to a flight code I know is EasyJet and I know they don't fly to Esbjerg from Newcastle.

It's Sun Air, the BA franchise operator.

Well, I think we can safely say ORK is now gone. Could EIR be a legitimate replacement, maybe 4 x weekly on the ATR72?

It certainly seems to be looking that way, and the monthly pax figures seemed to be rising. Will be interesting to see if it is taken up by another operator, seems more suited to a smaller capacity a/c.

There are a few posts about this on the Cork thread.

I hear that the Stansted mail is going back to the railway and Newcastle is to loose one of the Jet 2 based 737QC aircraft.

N707ZS, I assume if that happens, then the QC would be replaced by a "normal" 733

No idea about a replacement Grahamk, just heard the mail flight is due to finish.

RM STN flight

Mail has been back on the railway for around 8 months now, it simply takes some of the weight of Sky Net 8 (STN mail flight).
The 737 was due to be replaced by a West Atlantic ATP on 3rd November but this has now been rescheduled to sometime in January. West Atlantic got the contract for the STN mail flight but it has been mentioned that they may have already lost it due to safety issues?
There will be flights to both EMA and STN with RM for at least another 7 years.

FNC starts the beginning of July. FUE end of June. Excellent news.

Is there any idea, at the moment, which A/C will operate these? I would imagine FUE would be operated by a 757 and FNC by 737.

THANK GOD FINALLY! Been waiting for FNC since they first introduced it from LBA.

Good to hear we'll be getting FUE at around the same time as everyone else too, should go down well I think.

2 more routes is better than nothing, is it possible that these two may both be operated by 733's using the previous ORK departure times from NCL?

Possibly, I can't imagine FUE will be hugely popular.

A shame that the Funchal flight, like the existing Thomson service, appears to be summer only.

It appears both flights will be on the 733, never the less, good news and should prove very popular

Oh, and apparently the Airport has to pay a £2.5m legal bill...

Newcastle Airport hit with £2.5m legal bill for bonus row - Journal Live

Newcastle Airport was handed a legal bill of around £2.5m – to recover just £2 worth of damages.

The airport, which has legal insurance to cover its costs, faced the huge bill after taking lawyers at Eversheds to court over a bonus payment agreed seven years ago.
