Newcastle-9

[BAladdy]

ACL have published there Initial Coordination Reports for W19 season. Was wondering if anyone has seen the one for NCL?.

If so was there any new slot allocations made for W19?. Also are LM still holding slots for BGO and OSL?

TCX minus 1 aircraft operating around 15 flights per week?

Didn't we gain a based Jet2 this summer, or was it just 800's replacing 300's?

[Jamesair]

Still seven Jet2 aircraft based although all now 800's

[Jamesair]

The pax reductions were across all categories, although the largest fall was in IT due to the Thomas Cook cuts.

Didnt the NCL based flying school PTT Aviation go bust last year?

There's been a steady decline in GA at Newcastle (and possibly at other airports too - where has Edinburgh's GA gone?) over many years. Back in the 1980's the 'far side' was always chocka. Not just the flying school, but privately owned. Not entirely sure about this, but there seemed to be more private visitors in those days?

Is there a list available anywhere of all aircraft based at NCL?

FYI DTVMovements scroll to bottom

[jensdad]

Thanks for that, N707ZS. So that's eleven based aircraft. Pretty sure there was more than that back in the 80's.

[N707ZS]

There was, airport doesn't really want them as they get in the way.

[SWBKCB]

Many residents went when the Bellman hangar had to be knocked down and reduced the amount of hangarage available - also understand that what remains ain't cheap, which has seen some recent moves out. Not sure the DTVM list is totally accurate, but the position on the training front is certainly "fluid" since the demise of PTT.

A pretty disappointing set of figures, with movements down from 3941 to 3353 and pax figures falling from 594,241 to 561,594. The airport will be lucky to maintain the 5m plus figure this year.

Airport's Passenger Statistics for Jun e have been revised on their website from 561,594 upwards to 570,363. (still down from same period in 2018 (594,241)

I thought this was due mainly to Emirates reductions due to runway maintenance at Dubai (although this, I read on here was mainly in May, yet May's Scheduled International Passengers on Airport's website don't reflect this)

Confused ?!....

RYR operated 8x less departures each week during June 2019 vs June 2018.
June 2019 saw 2x less DUB, 1x less AGP, 1x less TFS each week. Also, WMI and MAD did not operate in June 2019 as they did at 2x weekly each in June 2018.

EZY operated between 3x and 4x less departures each week during June 2019 vs June 2018.
June 2019 saw 1x less JER each week for most of the month. Also, SXF did not operate in June 2019 as it did at 3x weekly in June 2018.

TCX only based 2x aircraft in June 2019, whereas 3x were based in June 2018 at a loss of around 13x weekly flights and 7x routes.

TUI operated more of their own metal each week during June, replacing aircraft operated by other carriers (Air Europa/Freebird) last June so not really any gain.

I can't compare EXS in June 19 vs June 18, but comparing August 19, NCL has an increase of only 1x flight per week vs August 2018 - (99x weekly departures in August 2018 / 100x weekly departures in August 2019)

I'd expect very similar but all 738's instead of a mix of 733/738's

[N707ZS]

Have the London City flights been cancelled.

[Jamesair]

Yes, they only ran for a few weeks and the service was suspended on the 5th April 2019.

[JonnyH]

Temporary runway closure due to a burst tyre has led to a few diversions but looks like it has reopened now.
