Imagine - flights direct from your own doorstep into the general locality of New York, New England, Toronto, Chicago, Florida, West Coast ... where people are largely going, without having the hassle of inflated fares and an intermediate stop in Heathrow, Amsterdam, Dublin, wherever - or in an over-congested US hub. Long overdue. ��

So what do people think 2017 will bring for Newcastle airport?
Any new airlines?
Expansion of existing airlines at Newcastle?
Or a drop in airlines and passengers due to Brexit and Scottish APD reduction.

Well, Long haul is only EK and TOM - can't see any change from EK unless they seriously implode, and if anything isn't TOM long haul slightly up for 2017?
Shorthaul - steady expansion from RYR? Looking at recent stats, they seem to be expanding the market rather than splitting it.
No change elsewhere - interesting to see what happens with DUS (i.e. impact of moving up to 319/320, and the various moves within the LH empire) and how VY get on.

More new routes and increases from Ryanair
Charters may see slight increases possible new routes
SN to be branded Eurowings this year so maybe Airbus aircraft used later?
Maybe a new airline but who??

Can't see the airport wanting DY for New York.
The main reason airport didn't work with Ryanair before now was it didn't want routes to secondary airports miles away from city centres

Just look at Manchester around 2006 up to the global crash and the BA pull out traffic fell from over 21 million right down to 17 million.
Sustained growth has come from embracing this sector.
You need RYR/EZY and LS -they increase footfall immensely, oh and bring in customers that actually spend money in the retail and catering establishments
(Your legacy connector with a business ticket and lounge access doesn't !)
Don't think NCL has been mentioned by DY.
Also worth noting that NCL was an early EZY base as well as having a significant LS presence and retaining the majority of its charter market, so I don't think they can be accused of ignoring LCC's.
The airport have also managed to retain their legacy Hub and Spoke access - important to a regional which has a peripheral position.

Other than BMI maybe pushing the Stavanger route to Bergen and maybe a link to Oslo from SAS or maybe Norwegian, it looks like Ryanair continuing expansion with Easyjet trying more routes. Jet 2 seems to have really slowed down on new routes.
Longhaul is clearly in the hands of Thomson now

Whats your thoughts Thomas Cook?
Recon they will ever give us some summer long haulers for a start?
Also what will happen if they dont give us back the sharm route will TCX give us something different?
