More seats to fill, though. If they can't fill a 757...
And on the subject of cargo - one reason the Emirates route will work well for cargo is because shippers know that 365 days a year, there is a flight leaving NCL for DXB. The seasonal nature of the EWR route must be a handicap.
Sorry to add to the negativity, but if most of what is being said on here is true, it doesn't look too good for this route coming back next year.

Has it been confirmed yet that FlyBe are dropping BHD and STN?
The UA 767s are replacing 757s on the longer Euro runs where there is sometimes an unscheduled fuel stop due to headwinds. ARN and OSL are being reduced to summer only

To counter the recent negativty, BMI have went back to the E145 on the BRU flights, and KLM have seeemingl planned 4 x mainline and 1 x cityhopper for the remainder of the summer

The increase in a/c size, I expect is a result of the increasing pax numbers on AMS and BRU each month, which is encouraging to see.
we might even see the 3 x daily frequency on Bru expand from two days a week from next summer and wouldn't be surprised to see 6 x daily on AMS next year.
CDG seems to have ever increasing pax numbers too.

I like to hear good news from the local, in other news a friend tells me that he knows a guy who knows a guy that knows a dogs litters' owner, says that DTV is going to be bought out to be a racing circuit, god knows if there's any truth in that.
Surely if DTV does go plop then the AMS flights would increase?

Just been on UA's website and see that BHX, BFS, EDI, GLA, MAN & LGW to EWR flights are now available to book through until first week of June 2016. A error message appears when you search for NCL saying please contact customer services. I am sure the EWR started mid or late May this year. Wonder if they are moving the date they start the route next year until later in the summer, maybe mid June.

UA to EWR is still in a trial period , If it is to be back next summer i think it will be available later
I very much doubt Enfidha will be back next summer , the ACE flight on a monday sort of backs that up

I don't think we will see UA on sale until September when the route finishes.
They will be having a meeting with airport, airline and 1 north east and work out the profit (if any) has been made and what the plan for going forward is.
Hopefully they can use the development fund to help it come back next year.
I remember a statement months ago saying they were happy with the forward sales and the bookings made to date. Hopefully this is the case and the expected loading for year 1 are around 60-65%. At the time most flights were lucky to be above 20%
Remember the UK has seen extra flights to EDI, BHX AND MAN from the USA this summer. Some of the Manchester routes are barely hitting 70%!!
It's going to be a waiting game but hopefully it will be back even if it's just starts mid June..
Also they may be happy with loads of around 60% if they haven't had to discount the fares down. Remember the fares have been kept high so maybe United said if they drop the price the loads have to hit a higher figure so the airport and United agreed to keep the price high?
