Interesting to note the longer turnarounds Monday-Friday, is this just due to aircraft utilisation or could there be potential for a tag to Bergen in the future? Could SVG-BGO-SVG be done in 2h35? It's 20 miles shorter than NCL-MAN... That can only be 30 minutes flying time tops, so probably be scheduled as around 40/45 minutes based on how it normally works
NCL 10:45 - 13:05 SVG 13:30 - 14:10 BGO 14:35 - 15:15 SVG 15:40 - 16:00 NCL (Monday - Friday)
Interestingly, if we assume 40 minutes scheduled flying time SVG-BGO... It works out perfectly with 25 minute turnarounds... Coincidence, probably, but could be interesting
Don't know if it's worth it on a 37 seater though, 74 seats per day. Is 18 seats per city PDEW worth it? Maybe only if LF's on NCL-SVG are less than 50%... Which I certainly hope they will not be, based on 26 flights in June they only need 962 pax per month to break 50% LF
It's all pipe dreams tbh but it's interesting how they've scheduled that

Great news about Stavanger. I felt Newcastle Airport lost a bit of its unique identity when it lost its last route to Norway.
(the spotter in me wishes it was something more interesting than a BMI Embraer flying the route but still...

I'm still holding out for SAS to capitalise on their CPH route and UA from Newcastle and start Oslo... There must be star alliance frequent fliers out there somewhere for us (although I think the lack of Frankfurt link is a huge drawback)
Do Bmir codeshare with SAS or not? Every little helps. Very happy to hear the news, it's just a shame Norway/Scandinavia isn't what it once was from our region, although I don't know what changed.

Yeah they do, seasonal flight to Newark if wikipedia is to be believed. I was thinking that SAS/UA/SN could build some star alliance presence at NCL, then possibly lure in LH, which should hopefully create a small cycle of growth, it would be quite limited as to which airlines could feasibly operate from NCL. I can't really see SIA, SAA or ANA rushing to operate, but I think Turkish is more a case of when not if and TAP/Swiss could consider us based on whatever the next few years holds for us in terms of sustainable growth.
In some ways I feel Swiss to ZRH has more chance than LH to FRA

After hearing some excrutiating pronunciation of Eastern European destinations by gate staff at Luton Airport recently, I'm sure our colleagues at Newcastle will do much better come the start of the Ryanair flights to Poland in November. Nothing too hard about Gdansk and Warsaw, but "Wrocław" is in my view best put across as "Vratswav".

TCX Reus - arrivals scenes are not that reliable in these sorts of cases, they just show what they're given - which is normally the schedule for the season.
Another example is that the replacement a/c positioning from MAN was showing this morning

For future reference... this is how you'd pronounce all those Polish places you never know how to say, or spell...
Wroclaw - "Vrotswof"
Krakow - "Cracov"
Katowice - "Katoveetsa"
Szczecin - "Stetchin"
Rzeszow - "Jheshov"
Lodz - "Woodge" ... funny one I know!
The rest are pretty much as you'd think.
Anyway, back to Newcastle...

"Reliabilty" was the key word as proved yesterday!! Being delayed during the school holidays with 2 under 5's isn't my idea of fun especially after paying a fortune for the privilege! Therefore a little bit of research re airline and aircraft doesn't go a miss, but each to their own😀
