TUI Re the TFS flight in my earlier post Just to clarify. The TUI booking system gives a choice on Tuesdays and also Fridays of Either a TCX flight to TFS or a TUI flight operated by another carrier.
There are higher suplements for the TCX flight as opposed to the TUI flight operated by another carrier. Timings are different for the TCX flight and the TUI operated by another carrier.
TUI are using Easyjet for the Faro flight in 2019.
Hope that makes sense.

Rumours were another route to go on sale by end of month ??
i did hear airport was in talks with airlines for a route to USA
may make sence to try somewhere else than EWR/JFK etc
time will tell maybe some truth in it but it will be a shock if it did happen

If NCL was to gain a USA route then I would imagine Las Vegas and possibly Orlando would arrive before New York was attempted again. Apparently the demand for Las Vegas from the region is high (and was one the airport bosses were looking at), and I see more and more people going to Disney World and other Orlando Theme Parks, so that could also be a possibility as well.
I can’t see the demand for Chicago from Newcastle or vica versus being high, though I guess Chicago would be for USA and Canadian connections.
I certainly can’t see it though and like before, it’s got to be seen as just a wiki troll.

Never say never, however I'd still have thought if an American carrier was to launch flights to Newcastle, it would be from New York first.

There is a lot more to the USA than just New York
from what I have heard New York is a nightmare as a connection point.
New York is expensive compared to other USA cites
as we always say never say never
good to see AF using A318 but it's a few months away yet

Probably irrelevant in the short to medium term, especially with the weakness of the pound.

With cut backs to U.K. And Europe from New York where are these aircraft flying to now or is the fleet being reduced or aircraft going to another USA airport
could the 757 fly to ord from ncl
be nice to see AA 787's however think the aircraft would be too big
correct in saying BA/AA may have a better chance and customers travelling from local airport rather than through LHR but also the service needs to be year round not summer only
with EI only once daily it now makes ncl not good for connections maybe another reason for the cut back

The CAA statistics for October are now available......Emirates new Dubai service from EDI got off to a good start resulting in the GLA figure being down 14% and NCL down 5%, looks like GLA took the biggest hit as passengers transferred to the EDI flight. All Spanish destinations fell with the exception of Fuerteventura with Greece and mainly Turkey the benificiaries.
Domestic.....LHR had a big 7% increase to 46,303 pax and Exeter continues to rise with a 5% increase to 4,417....Bristol up 20% to 16,853 and Belfast up 6% to 23,190....Jersey was popular in October at 2,984 up 34%
CAA stats show a total of 506,797 pax up 1.6%
