I come from a small place between Bergen and Stavanger and I have had my fair share of North Sea crossings on the ferry heading for North Shields. But to be honest VentureGo, Newcastle was never my end destination on the Isles - only a start point to explore the rest. Nowadays the ferry trips from the west coast of Norway have been replaced with flights mainly to London airports (SVG-LHR/LGW, HAU-STN and BGO-LHR/LGW).
VentureGo, if you insist on flying with Norwegian you have two airports they are are flying to within 2.5 hour drive from Newcatle - EDI and MAN - and since would flying against the flow I'm certain the ticket prices will be lower than what Widerøe or SAS will try to charge you for at NCL.

Norwegian establishes a new cargo company - this was the headline of today's press release from Norwegian. Further the press lease says: "Today, Norwegian only transports cargo within Scandinavia. The establishment of Norwegian Cargo means that Norwegian’s entire route network with over 120 destinations will be available for customers who need to transport goods."

Seeing how Peel convinced Norweigan to start from CPH.
What are the chanced of starting the same from Doncaster. DSA emailed me and implied a Hub route is imminent.
Seems that wed either get Ams or Cph.
CPH is a Hub isnt it?.
Seems par for the course for Dsa seem to keep missing the msrk in finding new airlines or sustainable routes. So rather than the obvious fokker 70 4 times a day and twice a day st weekends to Ams.
Is this a possibility.
I read they are looking at many more uk regional airports. As there arent that many with little competition at theor their loco level it seems to me to be a likely scenario.
Any thoughts on this or whar possible other routes rhey might do in those circumstances. And what possible additional LPL routes.

Given that we are already into the summer 13 season and that NAS have a further 6 or 7 new NG's due for delivery before the end of this year, then i think its likely that when the full Winter 13/14 program is on sale we may see further routes to the UK, most likely i think are to/from the Canary Islands, NAS will have 8 aircraft based between LPA/TFS and the reported plan is a near doubling of capacity when compared with last year. I suspect that more UK regional airports will see the Red Nose this winter on Canary routes, my guess would be EDI,MAN,LPL,BHX,CWL in addition to their expanding network at LGW.

For now Norwegian Air Shuttle has flights to four UK airports and I think it will stay like that the next couple of years. Any further expansion in to UK we need to wait for the arrival of next generation of narrow bodies (737Max and A320neo).
More interesting was yesterday's press release:
"Norwegian and Virgin Atlantic with Dreamliner Cooperation
Norwegian Long Haul has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Virgin Atlantic. The agreement enables Norwegian to tap into Virgin Atlantic’s expertise on long-haul operations, while Virgin Atlantic’s instructors will receive pilot training on board Norwegian’s brand new 787-8 Dreamliner. Norwegian’s first Dreamliner is due for delivery at the end of June."

The Germans seems to get a Norwegian treatment from W13/14:
"Norwegian expands in the German market with flights between Germany and Spain
Norwegian Air Shuttle continues its European expansion. Today, the company announced that it will launch new routes from Hamburg, Cologne and Munich to several Spanish destinations this autumn."
Hamburg, Cologne and Munich are the three German airports that get Norwegian flights this time.

NAS now seem to have released the bulk of W13 flights out of Lgw, with many of the new routes having services over the winter. They have a UK site, with Lgw as the main departure airport, but some of the destinations are not listed under Lgw, but with all destinations. Examples are IBZ, AGP and LPA. Would this not cost them bookings as some people would not think to look under the list of all destinations as opposed to those listed under Lgw? Would they not be better to fix this?

I have to agree with you on that, although if you click flights, it then shows you all flights from LGW a further click on direct only will filter out flights using connections at say CPH OSL ARN there are now 22 direct flights from LGW on sale with FUE added to day starting in October twice weekly

As mentioned previously in this thread RE. Winter flights, the list provided LNIDA is a pretty good bet. CWL is in need of some scheduled winter flights to LPA and TFS, which could then easily move into the Summer of 2014.

There was a full page report in the business section of The Tmes on Saturday on Norwegian. In it, the Chief Exe, Bjorn Kjos seems to indicate that they will start flights ex Lgw to the Far East starting with Bangkok. No firm start given.

I noted recently an article which mentioned a flight from Bodo to Antalya, which I note is not a scheduled route that can be booked through the website.
Presumably this is an IT flight undertaken on behalf of a Local Tour Operator ?
Does anybody have a rough indication of the percentage of flights that are undertaken on an IT basis in amongst the continued growth on the Scheduled Services and where the most popular IT services are to ?
