yeah its true GO to operate 3 daily services mon-fri and twice per day at weekends. lets hope the summer charter schedule gives newcastle a further boost.
I hear another carrier is interested in NCL-ABZ route?
NCL is a great place with heaps of potential, please airlines give us a thought up north!!!

So newcastles newest airline have plans then! As said on an earlier thread NCL/LCY about time. Speaking to a chief from the airport not so long ago they have certain routes which they are attempting to attract airlines to. NCL to AGP, PMI, BCN, MIL, ZRH, FRA, NCE, JER. These in addition to upping the frequency on flights to SOU, ABZ and CWL. Rumours were last year the now defunct Axon had enquired about starting a scheduled ATH service???? (Who will operate axons summer schedule out of NCL for 2002?)
So any wise birds out there any ideas on future plans bu BE, GO or anyone?

There's more rumours than anything else at NCL at the minute. GO increasing to three flights Mon-Fri from 21st December and the SVG route continuing are both correct (although I'd also heard that Norwegian Air Shuttle wanted the route for themselves), there's been rumours of a scheduled ATH route for yonks but nobody ever seems to do anything about it. There's loads of Greek students at the local Uni and there were quite a few ATH connections out of NCL especially on the BRU route before SN went under, so there's some sort of demand there for the ATH route, probably twice a week to start with. BE are still looking at LCY, but again nothing has been confirmed. Let's have some action someone! Heavylift are quite regular at the minute though!!

Norweigan Air Shuttle also are doing NCL-SVG on their own, twice daily. I hear Azzura Air, Aero Lloyd and a few others are operating through NCL this summer (according to the airports official website charter timetable).
Anything else...

Well not quite sure if things are on the up or not! I can confirm that Aero Lloyd will be operating a SZG charter and Azzurra a TFS sortie. BE have charters to VRN, VCE and JER and the usual mix of Spanair, Futura, Islandflug, Pegasus, Onur and Cronus are present. Air Scandic have added a few extra flights as have Excel. Britannia have 2 757 based and JMC one. My Travel Airlines are upping the programme with two airbuses and thats about it for the charter front. God only knows where the air 2 bob passengers have gone. And the last I heard was that JMC are contemplating closing the NCL crew base in March?!!!!!!!?
On the sched side nowt much changes. Still 2 airlines operating NCL/BRU and neither with high loads. Two airlines on the NCL/SVG route - can`t see that lasting for long. BE will be starting JER shortly and heres hoping the do LCY. No changes from BA as yet, although extra capacity on SOU and ABZ routes are needed I hear. As for GO they are doing very very well, with the majority of flights leaving full, but no signs of an expansion in no frills from NCL, considering EMA is the new base. The airport authority are still hoping for airlines to operate their `hoped for` routes but no signs as yet. they are keen to re-establish a link with Copenhagen considering they are now partly owned by them!
Anyone with more info please share all! <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
