Well the welsh and the Scottish have benefitted from government subsidised flights and airports, NI has APD exemptions and Scotland will likely be getting APD cuts. Don't see any problem with this scheme if it stimulates business links, tourism and inward investment to areas throughout the UK including England as we have zero support for any of our services.

So it's airlines that go to the government and say "we want to fly AAA-BBB because CCC and it's effects will be beneficial for XYZ, so please can we have a cut"? And then the airport gets the money to subsidise the new route.
Which airlines have actively approached NCL recently? Supposedly Swiss so that could be a potential applicant? Could make us more attractive to Turkish?
Finally, if we (hopefully) exceed 5 million passengers within the next 3 years are we still eligible?

Note that routes to airports between 3-5m can only benefit in “duly substantiated exceptional cases”, which will be determined by the EU Commission, and airlines must have an EU operating licence. I would imagine the figure would be at the time of the application (or a proceeding period).

What's the reference on that document to find the answer to my question? Viewing it on a tiny screen but can find of no current subsidised routed to of from or within England.

Glad to see them doing well, hopefully they'll stick around if UA go year round. Good to see the 757's back next year, I think it's strange that as of this year we will only have 757's going across the pond.

They used to go everywhere other than across the pond , I remember way back in 2007 getting a TCX 757 to Reus ! & 1998 a Airtours 757 to Girona
This year was actually first time it wasnt part of the Holiday experience ( A321 to SSH )

Yeah it's weird haha, I'm not sure if I like it or not, I'd love another one based, can't understand Jet2's logic really if it's true they've been moved due to takeoff performance.
Both aircraft empty, a 757 weighs about 12 tonnes more than an A321. Fuel consumption reflects this, so unless the extra range or takeoff performance is needed, A321 makes more sense on most routes from a cost perspective.

The A321 NEO LR is already on the market (not built yet) and at 4000nm will cover UK Transatlantics to the east coast of America no problem and at a stretch Chicago.
All it needs is someone to commit with American and United having the opportunity I would have thought to convert some options.
This could be brilliant for the likes of Newcastle, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds, Belfast and BHX where really wide-bodies are extravagant or non-starters.
Airbus Launches Long-Range A321neo Version | Commercial Aviation content from Aviation Week.
As yet I have not seen any article to suggest that the likes of United or American have ordered it but I am sure Airbus would have sounded them out before committing to the project.
Then of course Thomas Cook also could make use of it from the UK or from Europe and if it lives up to the stats it can only be a winner on both sides of the Atlantic.
The 757 will be missed by some including me having fond memories flying BA from BHX-JFK but the A321 NEO LR will be the new kid on the block shortly.

Just looking at US carrier's alone , The backbone of their fleets are 757s , If Airbus do go on to make and produce a true replacement there is a massive market and will soon be massive demand as the 757s get older and older

Yes, yes he does. But no, no he wont. We're about 250 miles too north to care about.
And I don't understand MAN's concern and I think it might take the concern off NCL a bit. It's easily an hour more to drive MAN-GLA than driving NCL-EDI. Then there's also the fact that, really Manchester has such a wide customer base, large amount of based airlines and very varied routes not available elsewhere... That it can probably hold its own.
