Sure many are aware but BA will be operating a (presumably retro) B744 on the BA1326/1327 on 25 Aug. Should be Negus or Landor colours.

There's supply and demand and yield management algorithms for you - it was £169 this morning (which was well over twice the price of the flights before and after)

Masterplan updated

Been reported on Breakfast TV regional news slot that the Airport are considering the 700 metre runway extension to accommodate future growth. Within the updated "Masterplan 2035", this is detailed to make provision for long-haul routes including China and India where current loads may be restricted due to Callerton Hill on Westbound departures.

- Figure 2 - (Page 9) existing route map - note destinations marked by * currently not served (Copenhagen, Nuremberg, Cologne, Vienna,Munich (can't see key as to why these routes are marked by an asterisk, although I believe they are not currently sserved other than possible Day trips e.g. Jet 2 Christmas markets etc..)
- Figure 6 – "Transport for the North’s (TfN) suggested routes from Newcastle Airport to deliver transformational economic growth for Northern England" (Page 21) - Routes suggested by TfN on the map include; Toronto, Atlanta, Hong Kong, Beijing, Delhi, Istanbul, Oslo, Frankfurt, etc...

Happy Reading!

considering the 700 metre runway extension to accommodate future growth

Which should just about take the extension up to the back garden of those new houses being built on Coach Lane

New houses must be full of NIMBYs.
