I don't believe T3 have operated NCL-SOU before...
Seems a bit pointless to have two operators on the Southampton route, if anything, Eastern should've perhaps focussed reinstating services at other UK airports or reinstate the NCL-EXT route

[QUOTE][I'm assuming Flybe then took over this route which prompted T3 to withdraw?/QUOTE]
Actually, for much of T3's previous stint on NCL-SOU, they competed with Flybe, who began their services over the route in autumn 2004 - so the route then sustained two operators for 5+ years.

Great approach
Total aside - from a left hand side passengers point of view the approach to NCL from the south in clear weather is a Joy. IMO The most scenic final 10 minutes of any descent into a UK airport.
That 90 degree turn to finals around St Marys Lighthouse is magic.
I wonder how many Pilots fly that descent manually?

Hi Flying Hi, Thanks for your kind words about our neck of the woods. It is pretty scenic, and the view down the River Tyne before you get to St Mary's is pretty iconic too. Have you ever flown into Sumburgh btw? Now that's pretty spectacular. Soz for thread drift.
