I think the issue with Aberdeen on a Friday is that it is quite busy coming south, but not much demand for the northbound service. It seems that Aberdeen is not operating on various Fridays through March and April - but must be struggling from Newcastle too, as it looks like it has been cut to 1 flight a day Sunday to Friday, so pretty much the same frequency as Teesside.

Regarding CAT numbers.... yes it would be nice to have more but MME did perfectly fine back when they had early morning flughts/h24 flighs so not sure why it would be different now?
On a side note if you talk to people with experience MME has a fairly decent weather record but when they put the barrage in it did mean fog tended to come furth inland/upstream.
While that is correct, unless there are good operational reasons (e.g. getting crew/aircraft into the right place), good business practice would be to drop the weakest performing routes.

And the decline in MME's previously excellent weather record coinsided with Brexit so I blame those Europeans.
I'll get my coat again.

Welcome news this morning. Capacity of nearly nearly 90 Tonnes of cargo per week, that over 4,600 Tonnes per year. The operation is to be based out of Hangar 3 with operations to begin in June.
So Air Operations to be based out of Hangar 3 and Road Operations to continue from Hangar 1, after 5 year leases agreed for both operations.

Indeed good news!
It would have seemed strange to promise more flights if BH wins an election and then deliver before.
Without seeing the detail, you would feel this is a more sustainable piece of business.
DTV movements quoting a 737 4 days week dropping in from Edinburgh and then onto Paris.

I see there is no inbound freight times so far on a morning only outbound on a night. Listed on the movements site.
Could Newcastle still take the morning flight and day stop?

Would that be cost effective?
Another rumour going around was Newcastle needed the parking slot for an TUI and possible Jet 2 aircraft? So maybe wouldn’t/didn’t want to compete with Benji-boys incentives?
The Fed Ex just blocked a whole stand all day?

his supporters seem to be happy, but not so sure that the average holiday maker will be very interested. But it's better than before.
I'm surprised he said nothing about new jobs coming???
The figures I have used are from the CAA stats for Newcastle, the figure quoted by H77 is, I presume, if the 4 flights per week were operating at maximum capacity (I haven't checked the figures) - that's unlikely as I explained in my earlier post. I doubt whether the agreement with FedEx is based on the quantity carried anyway.

Many thanks for your kind reply, so it sounds like about 9 or 10 tonnes a week in and out, doesn't sound profitable.
The mayor just can't help exaggerating, claiming FedEx are the largest when UPS and DHL are larger, and 8 UPS flights a week, that works out at about...3 tonnes on each flight , surely that's not economical , or am I missing something.?{
