Do TCX use an Orlando based A330 for the Sunday morning departure? The reason I ask is that there was a TCX from Orlando at 0555 this morning, according to the arrival boards last night. However I was in the Carrickfergus area this morning and at around 11.00 there appeared to be a TCX A330 going into BFS!

The previous flight out to Orlando diverted to Tampa, then repositioned to Orlando, and the return (that was expected at 0555) was cancelled.
Another A330 positioned into Aldergrove to do today's departure...

Past through the airport yesterday about 10.00am. Decided to have a coffee as our flight was delayed about 20 minutes. So we went to the first one after security, is it the Strangford? Place pretty quiet as first rush over and before the second one. Bought our coffee and then went to find a table. Almost every table still had cups/plates etc from the earlier rush. No tables being cleared. Hardly any customers and 5 staff on duty. No tables being cleared at all. We sat until 10.30, by now the second rush is starting. At that point I went up to the counter and asked if they had any comment cards. Panic then! No comment cards but the staff member then went looking for help. A second appeared, I asked if there was a manager available. No, no managers worked weekends. I explained my concerns re the tables and was then encouraged to leave my comments on their website. At about 10.40 the second lady started to clear some tables. I think I met some of the 72% of employees who are not engaged with their employer yesterday. A disgrace for our premier airport and certainly the scene I witnessed yesterday did absolutely nothing for the image of the airport.

LGW is continuing in its upward trend (as are all London routes) - 19% growth this May, even with Ryanair operating the route last May as well. The rolling passenger figure on the route for the last 12 months has topped 1 million for the first time, so that'll please management.
Polish routes seem to be doing very well - all have between 85-93% load factor, and Milan flights are over 80% full. Ryanair are still unable to fill 75% of their Berlin flights though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was axed in the next year or so.

Norwegian
Do we know what the first load factors where like for Norwegian or how they are looking for future booking?
They seem to have great public awareness so hopefully more routes to come. They currently don't fly to Canada from any airport. So maybe a Halifax route to come in the future?

Halifax? Market is very small there.
I think they mean Nova Scotia not West Yorkshire. I have been to the market in Halifax - reasonably big, typical British Farmers market - some good bargains to be had!!

Your probally right, Norwegian would have problems getting permission to operate Canada to Europe (exclude Scandinavian) just look how they are limiting the Middle East ones and protecting their own.
