NCL's FedEx service has also grown from ATR-72 to B.738F recently

No covid anymore. The aircraft I believe is based at NCL but it goes to CDG for FEDEX and I wager it does a couple of UK stops on the way. I only see one or two pallets ever. CDG is the hub for FEDEX European ops.

No UK tour for the FedEx 737-800 as it flies first to Liege, then Paris CDG and finally Cologne before returning to Newcastle. And to think it all started with an ATR-42 based in Glasgow which dropped into Newcastle in both directions just on its way to Paris CDG.

Think it was a EMB-120 originally on the GLA-NCL-CDG

Good to see Aegean have added flights to Athens over the Xmas period, seems to be a popular flight.

Quite a selective bunch, Conde Nast travellers - they obviously haven't been to North Ronaldsay
Joking aside, good to see NCL on a list that we want to be on.

First visit of a Jumbo Jet for a few years tonight. Last one was either BA or the UAE?

It's B744 of ATLAS AIR due in from New York at 2111......almost certainly carrying NUFC home.

Good news indeed...up to 5 x daily....especially as it goes against the constant cutting of slots at Schipol. Must be a profitable route for KLM

[Asturias56]

Lot of feeder traffic to long haul I 'd guess. - certainly better than LHR

[SWBKCB]

As usual, intersting use of the word 'new' - this is a restoration to 5. Hasn't it been up to 6?

​​​​​Think some journalists need to understand the difference between a divert and a tech stop

Has Newcastle fitted new scanners or do you still need your clear plastic bags for security.

Nope.

odd that TUI NCL-Cancun 788 did a fuel stop in GLA ?
stop press:
”Unfortunately, due to weather conditions at Newcastle Airport affecting the performance of the aircraft, the flight was forced to make a stop at Glasgow in order to pick additional fuel for the onward journey.
