With Ryanair to Dublin not on sale yet for 2019.....and British Airways messing big time with the Newcastle Schedule..any mileage in Aer Lingus stepping back in and increasing the Dublin to tap in to a vast USA market from the North East ?
The mid morning EI DUB works quite well with their Transatlantic flights (well, did for me a couple of months ago
) Also, don't forget KLM

Troubled times ahead..no growth on schedules..the opposite really.. Also hanging on to to IT growth...no new airport infrastructure,and that is all before the dread of Brexit.
Going to be a hard few years ahead for the premier NE airport and to be honest all NE airports..

True ..unfortunately the whole area is always on the back foot.
But sometimes you just wish for a bit of flair and adventure in the planning?
Southside of the airport completely un developed..while other airports..have at least given it a go.
cant always rely on the the NE public flying to Alicante!

Let’s be honest NCL has been on a bit of a downward trend for a little while now. Failing to secure a permanent United service, the loss of SAS, Vueling and various frequency cuts with Aer Lingus, now Ryanair seem to be scaling back after the explosion of an expansion that seemed to happen all of a sudden. Is it all the airports fault? No but you can’t help but think they aren’t completely blameless with all this.

Getting into semantics here, but a decrease in the rate of an upward trend does not equal a 'downward trend'. Passenger figures are up. Up by less than some other airports admittedly, but they are up. As I've said before, we're the third smallest city on Emirates' European network. We ain't doing bad.

It looks like LCO has went tech in ZTH causing a few knock on delays - currently 20 hour delay.
A321 operating MAH instead of the 320 with an 11 hour delay with TCVA coming in from MAN to operate that and LCN coming into to operate the DLM from STN which operated with a 2 hour delay.
Busy day for TCX ops!

Newcastle Airport were forecasting 10million passengers by now and yet only achieved 5.3m last year. Bristol by comparison from a similar level in 2007 achieved 8.3m last year. Other regional airports have similarly grown since the depression of 2008.
I wonder if anyone can identify exactly where routes with volume number of passengers have been lost from those years (circa and before 2007 - before Emirates and LCC gains)
Route Development and Marketing teams at Airport should be brought to task on such a terrible under performance.

No Warsaw either, frequency reductions on TFS and AGP it seems too. Not getting the required yields? How does the airport expect to get over 6m in 17 years time, never mind 9m?

BTW, I thought Braathens were bought by SAS? CPH was never a Braathens flight and wasn't Oslo BA Connect? Stavanger is still operated by bmi Regional daily except Saturday (don't think Braathens had a Saturday service either)
