All UK airports to DXB were down - due to the way Easter fell? If you add in the average 5% drop since the EDI started, it's in line with the others.

GATWICK -10.44
HEATHROW -18.40
BIRMINGHAM -6.96
GLASGOW -6.26
MANCHESTER -4.70
NEWCASTLE -11.67

Last years DXB figures included a couple of GLA diverts too, so the GLA-DXB figures would be a bigger drop too

CAA statistics allocate diverts to the airport the flight was diverted from.

Thanks Jamesair. A little eyewatering indeed, but the LHR and LGW numbers give a bit of context.

Fridays FAO-NCL is scheduled on the A320 which is G-UZHO (NEO) at the moment, good chance that will be bringing you home Friday but check Friday morning.

Just curious, the stats show 401 freight/mail flights, so over 10 a day. Presumably this must be all flights carrying any freight or mail, rather than dedicated flights (of which there is only the FedEx and the odd charter?)

I'm assuming NCL will be fully represented at the Routes Europe event in Hanover this week to negotiate new routes.

I doubt it. Reason being Routes Europe was held in April!

Frankfurt? It seems to be a major hub.

FRA would be a big plus for NCL. Star Alliance seemingly has Central Europe sewn up and the loss of the Brussels Airlines codeshare is not helping NCL in this respect. In recent times I have had to go to LCY, MAN and EDI to get a flight to FRA and connect on to places not served by KLM, AF or BA. The DUS flight seems to do pretty well but the timings mean that despite 8 trips there in the past year, I have never used Eurowings.

I think NCL is more likely to see a route to Munich before Frankfurt...an earlier post said that slots had been requested for this year for a 6 x wkly service. With Loganair basing a second a/c in September I would expect to see the Oslo and Bergen services start. They are no doubt exploring other route options as they seem to want a bigger presence at NCL.
