Newcastle-10

[CabinCrewe]

slightly surprised EK wasn't back to daily already

[ukchris82]

Air france have cancelled my flight home in 2 weeks. They seem stuck on 4 flights a week. If Emirates can recover with a 777 and klm are up to 3 flights a day why has air fiancé's recovery been so poor?

[Rutan16]

French COVID entry rules I expect have damped forward demand .

[GrahamK]

AF had been back up to 12 flights a week. KLM also seem to have reduced down from 4 daily flights

What happened to the A330 cargo ops

It doesn't seem like many months ago since the airport was crowing about A330 freighters being based at Newcastle, what has happened with these. Are these the ones at Birmingham.

It doesn't seem like many months ago since the airport was crowing about A330 freighters being based at Newcastle.

There was a statement from the airport in ZFG's press release, so not sure crowing is the appropriate term? I would imagine they were as sceptical as the rest of us, but in the middle of 2021 any new business would have looked good.

Some of the 330's operating to BHX are leased from the same company as the one that turned up at NCL, but I doubt there is anymore of a connection.

Thanks, down as not going to happen then.

[GAXLN]

Aer Lingus Diversion

I see G-EILA has just landed from Bridgetown!

[Jamesair1]

BHD - NCL is being shown as a new Flybe route. Time will tell

A post on the PRESTWICK thread says that the French Rugby charter flights today are parking up at NCL

[SWBKCB]

There are two Air Malta flights planned to come down for EDI until after the game. Not a lot, but given the recent BA and TUI parking is somebody doing something different compared to previous years?

Yep - hard sums was never my strong point, but you get the picture!

[CabinCrewe]

still pretty dire. Surprised at LHR figure. There would probably need to be a fairly quick upturn in DXB too.

About 45% of pre-covid figures, but I think all operators are back up and running. DXB needs Australia and New Zealand back.

Be interesting to see how that compares with other regionals.
