It’s a shame that Easyjet are moving their aircraft from Newcastle down to Southend - in times like these any revenue available should be utilised. Unfortunately I fear that the charges Newcastle want are too much for Easyjet and they got a much better deal at Southend. If the airport could be filled with parked aircraft then it will at least keep getting some revenue.
Even the severe closure timings for the airfield, it’s shorter than many other airports. That’s probably one of the reasons why BA pulled flights to Newcastle while keeping at least one a day to MAN, GLA, EDI, ABZ, BHD. I’m surprised the airport can close like that, I thought as co-opted military field it would have to stay open for the military to use if they wanted too.
I certainly fear that many routes may not come back to Newcastle even after this is all over.

BA are suspending all domestic flights from next week, so I wouldn't read too much in to it

Of the 25 flights scheduled to operate to LHR over the next 14 days, there were only 3 that would have been able to operate.
With only couple of days before the new restrictions BA decided to cancel its flights as the only way Of making the restriction daily would involve having to make changes to more than one other route. BA have now suspended the route until early May
Think the management would have taken any necessary measures to help the nation ! and also supplement airport income?
At least Teesside still operating almost normally..i.e no schedules but still open?

BA were only advised on Friday morning by the airports management of the intention to restrict the hours of operation after the weekend.

NCL just don't appear to value BA as much as they should.

BAladdy NCL-LHR. Is that because NCL are not able to handle these flights under the current circumstances. It seems that LHR domestics continue to run from other UK airports?

I doubt the NCL figures will be any better or worse than the vast majority of UK airports. The industry is in the midst of something which surpasses the economic (and probably human) effects of 9/11, both Gulf Wars and SARS all rolled into one. If you can’t contend with every airport reporting shocking passenger figures for several months, it’s time to check out of this bulletin board.
