Wouldn't have thought that length of return delay to be due to a divert, essentially en route, for a medical issue. Maybe the crew is out of hours for the return after the time on ground in Lisbon. 2 x 4.1/2 hr flights + turn round time. Add to that maybe an hour or two in Lisbon.
Checked the aircraft on FR24 - arrived TFS 18.54.

Appreciate it’s pretty early but has anyone got an idea of the % load for LS to EWR this year? Currently offering £205 return (including baggage) for the upcoming flights and I have heard from a friend who works on the ground at NCL that they’re not looking to be fantastic.
Hopefully we can continue pulling in whatever routes we can get it, regardless of frequency, next year.

Hopefully they will include NCL in their plans this time.

probably just the usual hope that NCL will feature in the prsss release saying 4th 737, new short haul destinations and Punta Cana added etc etc which isnt just good for the airport but suggests the region is doing well.
But more often than not usually no mention of NCl or very limited change inferring the opposite for the local economy.
splits the readership on here and usually leads to a lot of negatively from what starts as a hopeful post 🤗

Right, so the comment meant hopes for expansion for NCL? Don't think anybody would argue with that, but it could have been inferred that the poster considered TUI's position at NCL was in doubt.

Whats intresting to me is why TUI wants to go first and so far infront of the rest ?
has TUI decided it's time to get ahead of the likes of Jet2holidays now
with Jet2 expecting to announce routes from BRS,Cardiff for summer 2020 is TUI now going to start attacking back ?
also TCX has for 2019 reduced holidays on offer from all over the U.K.
Again does TUI see this as get in first with the early bookers to win % growth

I always thought that Newcastle had always been one of its more successful bases...for own aircraft operations. It's the third party season charter cancellations that are causing the cutbacks next year.
I understand that German operator Bin Air....a regular visitor to NCL have suspended operations
