Did everyone enjoy the Airbus flying around? Always nice to see a new aircraft using the runway, unfortunately I was back on the ground before it arrived, thankfully or my little Piper would have been blown out to sea 😂

Fokker
I did a return into Europe via AMS this week and used Newcastle; first time in a while with the decision based on the MME cancellations. Came back home yesterday and found the MME tea time cancelled, so it was a good move. Interesting though, the 737s from Newcastle didn't appear as full as normal (or maybe it was just the time of day).

I can only answer for the flights I was on of course, but it was a 738 outbound and a 73G coming back; the latter very quiet.
I think they run mainly 737s x 4 in Winter and switch to mainly E190s x 5 in the Summer up there (roughly speaking).

We are not a thinner route for KLM we are quite high yielding, loads are still good despite recent minor declines. We are keeping the Fokkers until the last day of operation (27th October I believe) because we're an engineering base for KLM

RR - Some airports had to be chosen to be the last served by a F70. It just so happens MME may be one of the last. But if for any reason the loads regularly increase to 66+ or more higher yielding fares are sold believe me, the Embraer will arrive earlier. Also, because the E175 has 88 seats this aircraft can be slotted in whenever it is convenient. So even though an F70 is currently scheduled for this period, it doesn't necessarily mean that this will be the case. The important thing is that people know that KLM are planning provide a service to AMS for years to come. It is just a shame that some have been let down by recent cancellations.

Part of the report.
In a consultation response to the plans, Highways England recommends that planning permission “not be granted for a specified period” over fears of disruption and road safety on the A66 .
And another report written by a Darlington Council Environmental Health officer says that “considerable uncertainties” in predicting future levels of noise at the airport means that the plans could only be approved with a strict set of conditions.
That report acknowledges that although the airport has current planning permission to raise passenger numbers to three million a year, that is “unlikely to be enacted” by developers.
But it says as the final site layout is yet to be confirmed, some homeowners may not be able to open their windows as noise would be “likely to exceed recommended levels”.

Hope save the airport group have a master plan if Peel decide to give up on aviation. "Sorry folks, my bleat", just like Doris the airport destroyer they haven't got a clue as to what they are talking about.
