Pax numbers

Using Easterns booking engine, Dublin and Belfast would appear to have no more than 10 available seats over the coming week. Now I'm not sure if this is reliable, but if so surely it's a good sign?

Isn't that the number of seats available at the lowest fare?

.....not specifically on MME flights, but this is up on their website this evening....

I think it is misleading. Aberdeen Wick route shows "6 seats left" on many future dates and I know those flights aren't full this far out.

It could also indicate the number of seats left at the base fare.shown.

NQY is due to be served by Loganair from NCL I thought?

Newquay and Bristol are new - not been mentioned before from Teesside.

Wonder if Bristol and Newquay are typos; something that was intended at the last launch but failed, or something about to be announced?

Can’t help but feel for MME; for 10 years we have all craved new routes and they finally launch at what could well turn out to be one of the worst periods in aviation history.

That flyer is supposedly going round every household in the mayors constituency, I don't think his PR team would get it wrong.

On the other hand it might work with the demise of Flybe.

Obviously not. Would, for example, Boris Johnson ever make an inaccurate/ untruthful statement. People really should start to trust our politicians.

But it is good to see the airport making progress in difficult times - to say the least - for aviation.

Newquay and Bristol

Just noticed on Ben's FB page that he repiled to a comment yesterday in regards to Exeter saying that he was "looking at Newquay and Bristol", so theres definitely some foundation to it.

Fantastic words from Ben.

Why not charge on and link MME with BRS and NQY as well as (already served) CWL!

Massive market from the Tees Valley to the SW & Wales I'm sure...

Frightening times for the world..and the aviation industry?

On all these threads it’s cancelled,delayed,postponed flights!

Weirdly ,Teesside seems to be avoiding it all? Can’t answer why,other than the mayor has very deep pockets to subsidise routes?

Anyone know how many passengers are actually using these new flights.I know Newcastle is suffering big time and that’s with an established market.

Think you've answered you own question. Sure there will be performance requirements in the contract and I would be surprised if MME flights aren't being prioritised. Anyway, given the flyBe situation and then the lack of their own booking engine, it would be amazing if any of the new flights do anything to start with.

Around 30 passengers on the flight from Southampton tonight, which seems pretty good to me.

Unhappy

Not surprising but Dublin and Cardiff no longer bookable with Eastern, Belfast and Southampton prices have increased hugely, which might suggest they are stopping till at least after Easter, and Aberdeen down to 2 flights a day. Worrying times.
