It's not the amount of planes you have. It's bums on seats, how many you fill and how much you charge. Every time I fly in to NCL there's 5 planes parked up. LS may have a larger aircraft has but if they're gathering dust when easy are all up flying then they'll struggle to beat ezy in terms of numbers. Take tomorrow for example. EZY have 8 departures, LS have 3. Which airline makes the airport and it's shops and suppliers the most money?

Yes but easyjet will have about 8 all year round, Jet2 have 12+ through the summer. Different business models from NCL... In fact, they probably make about the same from airport purchases. Holidaymakers are probably more inclined to buy things in duty free than businessmen going down to Bristol or across to Belfast for the day.

You seem to forget ezy serve MLA ALC AGP BCN TFS FAO. There's more to ezy than BRS and BFS. EZY provide year round regular flights and don't practically shut down in the winter.
They also provide stable jobs and support many more in the supply chain. No 70% FD or six month cabin crew contracts. They contribute more to the airport and the local economy than LS.
Still, they have a nice shiny colourscheme therefore they must be better!!

In terms of Jet2 and their city flights, can anyone tell me if the flights to such as Prague or Krakow for example do well?
If Jet2 were to try other cities, would they not look at adding cities in countries they already fly to, such as adding somewhere like Warsaw? Or is that too risky?

Skipness 1E,
As far as I know, NCL will have the following based:
Jet2: 4 737 300's, 2 757 200's
Easyjet: 2 A319's, 1 A320
Thomson: 3? 737 800's
Thomas Cook: 2 A321's, 1 A320
And some Eastern Js41's but I don't know about them.

Fleet update
Jet 2 I heard was
4x 733 1 being used as a standby aircraft
3x 757 1 being leased by Titan
TCX I heard was
2x a321 from tcx new hopefully
1x a321 leased by someone
The least a320 I thought was at Cardiff this summer?
TOM

I am in agreement with a previous poster, Has Mr Claus brought everyone random route generation devices for Xmas (I'm surprised Santa hasn't been mentioned for any expansion from NCL with his sleigh, or is he moving all ops from the North Pole to NCL?)
Seriously, do people actually think long and hard about these ideas, or just have a flick through their logs and see 'Oh i need some Chinese 787s, they should start NCL?
Turkish 737s, Vueling A320s, China 787s, Wizz Air Bases, and El Al (again) have been mentioned. I think that if demand was as big as some claim it is (which it isnt) we'd have some variation of these routes serving NCL?
I think this topic needs a serious clean up, infact the entire site now does. This isn't a 'spotters dream forum' (pretty sure the rules state this), its mainly to keep up to date with NCL news (of which 'I think El Al should come to NCL because gateshead has some jewish people is NOT news).
It seems to be a few repeat offenders as well, shame how a once great topic and site is getting a bad reputation thanks to a few members.

'Cheers, some speculation for the new year. I've heard that Wizzair have considered NCL before and Vueling, so I heard, was almost confirmed but maybe not. Turkish are expanding very rapidly, SAS? Norway used to be strong, times change? Bergen Maybe? El AL, there are lots of orthodox Jews in Gateshead, the largest outside of Jerusalem and many will only fly EL Al so there is the possibility, but Newcastle might not be complient, I don't know.
My good God!
What on earth did you have for Christmas dinner? Too much brandy in that Christmas pudding I think.
Wizzair service - Where did you hear this?
Vueling service - Again any substance and where did you hear this?
You claim that many of them will ONLY fly EL AL. So how do they get to fly on EL AL if they dont serve Newcastle?
Yet again utter
being displayed on this forum. I remember when this forum was a great place with useful information that had substance and was a place to visit for FACTUAL information that had CREDIBLE sources. This is just absolute what people are dreaming up and that won't happen.
Why are you destroying this forum with your rubbish and why are the mods allowing this?
Please can you take your rubbish away from this forum and post it on something like PlaneMad, where all the other clueless folk who have absolutely NO IDEA go and discuss their fantasies.
Mods - PLEASE do something about this tosh so that at least some sort of reputation remains intact.

As one of the so-called "clueless folk" I only mentioned what I'd heard from being employed as the translator in the store because I speak (CEFR: A2) Norwegian and a vast majority of the customers who I spoke to were from Norway or Denmark (they spoke to me in Danish, I replied in Norwegian) - they told me that it would be nice to see more options to fly to Newcastle from Norway/Denmark.
As reference to me asking about Jet2 and their city destinations before, yes I actually did think before I wrote it, because being a teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages, I teach a lot of people from Poland who have to rely on Krakow even though their families come from Northern cities of Poland like Gdansk, Poznan, Bydgoszcz or even the capital Warszawa in the East ...
