I'm sorry Boris but I was making a point that the aircraft can make it with a full load stating that there must be a mistake in the calculations.
Anyway, there's
all else to talk about at NCL

The stream of posts targeting people who post anything regarding EK35/36 are just as bad as the original posts.
No one is forced to read posts regarding Emirates, if it annoys you so much; don't read this thread!

Well said G-TYNE!!!
I think that EVERYONE should be able to post what they want and when they want....
Doesn't matter if it is fact, rumours or suggestions of what works or wouldn't work.
I for ONE like to see jamesairs posting of his month figures and hope he continues to do so!!! He spends a lot of time getting this info for us all.
As it had been stated if you don't like what is posted then basically TOUGH LUCK don't read it and move on!! Replying is just going to get other peoples back up and will post even more stupid posts just to make others angry!!!
So what can I post tomorrow ?? Lol

G-TYNE.
Some people actually come onto this forum looking for factual information etc instead they come here and to find themselves bitterly disappointed to see that all it is, is streams of pointless rubbish all focused around ONE topic, that being Emirates.
It's only recently though that this has started to happen and it is a dreadful shame to say the least, because believe it or not this forum used to be a place to come where you would get good information and it was a pleasure reading through posts. Now all you are faced with is absolute rubbish, pipe dreams and people's fantasies.
Same applies, don't like people's views - don't read them.

Calm down!
Guys, some of us need to just calm down a little bit. The Emirates service is bound to be a hot topic for discussion given the stature of EK and should really be expected to be mentioned more often in the thread than Eastern's BHX for example.
That said I do feel there is too many 'what if...?' posts and fantasy dreams about A380's and multiple daily services which could be easily avoided if the posters took a minute to read before they post.
Some members also come across to me as rather rude and condescending. Not every post is going to interest you and I don't think posting monthly passenger figures is worthy of a bollocking to the OP, so maybe just hit the back button occasionally if it doesn't interest you.
I accept that some posts are nonsense i.e. the suggestion a few post back that Emirates flight ops don't know what they're doing but Capt. Adams every time you post on here it seems to be an attack on EK77WNCL, often for very pernickety reasons IMO. I do wonder if he'd receive the same condescending posts if he didn't display his age? Very naive if you think more than 20% of posters on AA&R are pros.
Out.

HH6702.
Not disputing about Jamesair's figures - I enjoy reading them too as this is FACTUAL information.
The point I am making is that people like yourself are bringing this forum down with rubbish that you are dreaming up. Yes it's all good that the Summer 2014 charter schedule is now on the airport's website, well done you posted something factual for a change.
Just remind yourself what the first 'P' for in Pprune translates into. Something which is severely lacking in the majority of yours and a few others posts.

Look at the first few pages of this thread. FACTUAL information. EZY schedules, based aircraft news, figures etc. No 'Well, i think we need daily 737s to Tel Aviv' or 'Emirates should send us an this and that'.
With regards to the poster who mentioned Eastern Jetstreams, I'd much rather see this, than 'Well, i think Emirates flights have 400 passengers on each day, and its their best route to the UK, and they are thinking of starting a New York flight from NCL'...
This is a thread about NCL NEWS etc. A comprehensive low down on what airlines a, what can only be described as an over enthusiastic plane spotter, wants to see, is NOT news.

Thank you guys for your support, I try to bring the monthly stats to life with a few comments on trends because I think people will be interested in the progress their airport is making. Recently GrahamK has beaten me to it in posting the individual route figures....thanks Graham..for saving me some typing.

Boris,
Pretty much in total agreement with your post there and mine was more directed at the attitude of a certain poster.
However, the Emirates DXB service is likely to remain the most interesting topic for discussion to many posters due to it being the only scheduled long haul route, it being Emirates, biggest aircraft - whatever.
---
Not a personal attack here EK777W/HH6702 but you guys should maybe consider restricting posts, especially with regards to Emirates, to factual information i.e. monthly passenger figures, confirmed frequency changes, long term capacity changes. It seems clear that posting wish lists or ideas riles many of the regulars on here so why continue posting very similar material?
You wouldn't ask someone a question in person, not get a desired answer, and just continue asking them every 5 minutes until they changed their mind. That said I do feel that some posters have been a little harsh berating you to such an extent.

The bickering going on in this thread is not acceptable. Please get back to normal debate and stop the rot.
I will watch closely the attitude of some and their apparent attempts to dictate.
I have deleted one post and there may be more.

BMIregional
Any news from BMIregional yet about them adding another route into there daily flying program, when the aircraft returns from BRU and sits on the ground for several hours before doing the evening rotation back to BRU.

That is what they did at Leeds for years so it was no wonder that the base became unprofitable. I know it technically is a new company but they seem to follow the old companies ways.

So in other words, those who don't agree with idol dreaming? Is anything being done to combat posts such as 'There is demand for such and such' that aren;t backed up with credible sources and/or evidence?

I'm pretty certain that the airport itself has published a "wish-list" of destinations it would like to see operated at some time in the future. Some airports, London City is an example, allows customers to suggest possible future routes, maybe NCL should adopt a similar approach.

BM said that they were definately looking at other routes, they did/do BRS-BRU-BRS-FRA-BRS-BRU-BRS so people were thinking that could be a possibility but without 1. A morning/evening flight and 2. Interlining, I couldn't see it going down too well at NCL. As has been seen by the reduction of DUS to 1 daily... Granted, the times for DUS are even worse than a FRA flight would be.
From last Monday's Chronicle:
New office blocks for airport land
A major development deal has been signed to bring new office space to Newcastle Airport.
Bosses at Newcastle International Airport and property group UK Land Estates have signed a 10-year development agreement for sites on the south side of the airport.
Already, they have secured provisional council support to grant planning permission for a 200,000sqft business park next to the Callerton Metro station.
The old, restrictive use condition has been removed to make it available to all users. There will be a further application for 400,000sqft of industrial and warehouse space next to the new runway apron.
Tim Witty, director in charge of the airport sites, said: “These developments will help transform the airport and complement the exciting activities there, in particular the growing network of destinations now serviced from the regional hub.”
It comes after the airport set out ambitious plans to expand with hundreds of new jobs over the next decade.

re LCY
The highest monthly pax figure Eastern achieved was 1313 in October 2006, I also believe that LCY made the charges pretty high with the intention of discouraging small aircraft from using valuable slots (I think they used a J41) that the whole operation became uneconomical and was discontinued in Jan 2007.
I'm sure someone can confirm the above
