Quite frankly I don't think any of our current based operators bar Eastern would be able to make any success in such a route, and then there's the fact that there isn't any capacity in Easterns based aircraft to operate this route. So The aircraft would have to come from elsewhere, perhaps dropping in the Eastern Saab on a transit flight on its way back and forth from ABZ would be an easy solution. Other than that I can only really see Flybe with a D328 being able to give it a good enough go, but I'm not sure what the situation is with Flybe and the D328, does the aircraft belong to Loganair?

Market Is big the amount of people using the trains from ncl changing at Peterborough to places of Norwich and near by..
My fear is the train is so cheap compared to what the air fares would be
I agree best idea aircraft drops in on route to abz
Route would have to be 2x daily also

OK. Nevertheless, interesting to note that it has more passengers than capital and hubs like Brussels, Copenhagen, Rome or Madrid. I remember the days when I flew on that route in a Gill ATR42.

The North East of England has a lot of links with the Rhine-Ruhr, and Dusseldorf is the largest airport on that region. Both being industrial regions, a lot of Geordies went to Western/North western Germany in search of jobs. I'm surprised we haven't seen a return of the Hanover route or a route to Hamburg. I reckon Hamburg would be a good shout for Ryanair.
Fingers crossed EZY and FR do have something in store for us, personal wishlist would be
Ryanair: Hamburg, Riga, Budapest, Ibiza, Chania, Rome (CIA)
Easyjet: Amsterdam, Paris, Milan (MXP), Venice
I'd be happy with Bergamo from FR but I think EZY would be better for attracting business and leisure.
Catania or Lisbon would be lovely, welcome additions but less likely
A London route (LGW/STN/SEN) would top it all off perfectly
Good news about Eastern to BHD, is it still just x1 daily? x2 daily would be better but I think that's a wise decision from them and will hopefully lead to more from them in this regard. I can't imagine IOM bound pax being all too inconvenienced by a quick stop in Belfast... Less so than BHD pax having to go through IOM anyway

Thomas Cook are adding a Thursday NCL-CFU flight next year, taking them to 3 per week. It's available to book now and will be a late/night flight. The island is growing in popularity.
Corfu has seen an increase in frequency from NCL in the last couple of years with Easyjet now operating Sundays also. Takes it up to 7 a week for 2018.
TCX - Monday, Thursday Friday
Thomson - Monday, Friday
Easyjet - Sunday
Jet2 - Monday
I'm surprised that Ryanair haven't started NCL-CFU since they operate the route out of just about every other airport multiple times a week, out of MAN they start the route the earliest in the season compared to other operators (March/April) and they usually go out full.

Seems to be a big shift in days being added.
Don't want to jump the gun but does certain days now require 4 aircraft?
Are is there bad news of some routes being dropped or scaled back

After having a quick look at days and times (note not actual ac on route just a mock up using 3 based ac shown in colour) the only day which throws up more than 3 ac is Saturday with 4 early morning departures?
