Newcastle-9

[fl dutchman]

Generally works out as about 2 per day.

I notice that Norwich appears in the route map for Loganair as a route out of NCL (and actually appears on the airport flight board today)......something for the future ....maybe

I wouldn’t get too excited. It’s probably just due to the fact they are consolidating the ABZ flights and operating as NWI-NCL-ABZ-NCL-NWI from today.

Feb CAA stats out.

3,177 on the Munich, BFS down 8%, DXB up 4%, SOU down 22%, ABZ up 400% (!), Cardiff down 339 pax.

[Jamesair]

As of now, Emirates plans to re-start daily 777-300 to Dubai on the 1st July 2020.

Average of 76 pax per flight on the Munich before the madness kicked off. Certainly something to work with once everything settles down hopefully. Maybe the CR9/E190 is a better fit to begin with?

But, there's more things to worry about in the mean time. Stay safe everyone!

The thing with MUC was that the loads around the weekend were strong, it’s the mid week flights that will have dragged the figures down. Seems like it’s attracting a decent mix of transit passengers and Geordies going for a weekend in Munich thought.

Remember the Munich flights were cancelled for two days due to storm Ciara.

Based on Berlin, Madrid, etc Geordies going away for the weekend is not a long-term basis for a route.

I think most people were surprised when it was launched on the 319, but what do we know!!

Another potential light at the end of the tunnel is the latest Government initiative. All employees unable to use up this years holiday entitlement (average 28 days, including Bank Holidays) will have it deferred to be used during the following two years. This could potentially become a boom time for the travel industry.

It has also been reported that BA is suspending NCL - LHR until May.

our 3 Easyjet aircraft to leave tomorrow to be stored down at Southend

The airport is not shutting down

New operational hours are 08:00 - 12:00

Looks like only KLM morning flights are operating

[Mooncrest]

It's a similar picture at Leeds Bradford. Only scheduled flight is one KLM rotation in the morning. The airport is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time.

Does anyone know if the new hours of operation in place for a fixed amount of time or are they until further notice?
