Where do they park these aircraft? Would it have to be on the wedgey side of the airfield, not sure they'd fit on the terminal side?

Flybe SOU to NQY?
 

Looks like BE have started scrapping the E145 service between SOU & NQY before it even gets off the ground.

There were some mutterings about arrestor cables in the runway and lack of E145 certification. Has someone in Exeter not done their homework again?

:ugh:

so which of the E145 services are being scrapped ?

Not heard of that dispersal before ;)

All flights now handled at Nqy Terminal.

They are building a new B737 stand after the Summer rush

Surely it would have been sensible to do it BEFORE the summer rush...? It surely doesnt take that long.

I asked if the terminal side could handle a 767 parking wise, and whether it'd have to go on the RAF side?

from what i understand the terminal side shouldnt have any problems parking a 767. its not common but a 767 is a regular visitor for these sort of cruise charters.

NQY is ok handling the B767/A330 now Terminal side. A taxi-way may be closed due to wingtip overhang though.

Construction
 

Passed through again at the weekend and noticed all the Dean Dyball construction walls, what is the current building work going to consist of when completed?

It is a new arrivals buildings and covered walkway linking arrivals to the West Car Park and check-in area.

The existing Arrivals Hall will become airside departures.

Why are BE dropping the SOU/NQY before it even starts? Comments above seem to suggest something to do with ERJ145 performance, but isn't NQY one of the longest runways in the UK??? Understand BE also delayed launch of GLA/NQY and told pax it was due to runway problems at NQY? All a bit odd if you ask me. Can anyone throw any light??

It was nothing to do with the runway or performance of the aircraft it was purely a commercial decision by FlyBe unfortunately.

The New Arrivals Hall was opened this morning for operational use. The new facility can now cater for both domestic and international flights simultaneously unlike the old arrivals hall.

Another step forward in the development of the Airport:D

Slightly 'random' question, but do any of you local guys know if Ryanair boarding cards ex-NQY have the passenger's name printed on the smaller portion of the card, as opposed to handwritten by check-in staff (as was the case on a recent FR flight from BRS).

I have to submit "proof of travel" after taking a forthcoming FR flight from NQY, a 'proper' printed boarding card for which is considered acceptable, but the handwritten version is not (Yeh, I know!)

Thanks in advance.....

Looks like Flybe have dropped their Newquay-Glasgow service in addition to dropping the Newquay-Southampton. Probably doesn't justify a 70-seater. ASW seem to be hanging on in there with a daily service to GLA, but it probably makes more sense as it is shared with Plymouth.

seems there are some pretty extensive route cuts going on over the flybe network at the moment.
have a look at the flybe forum here

Air Southwest GLA and NCL
 

In my opinion I think GLA almost worth going double daily as the loads seem above expectations...

im guessing that you mean Air Southwest making GLA double daily and not flymaybe doing that ?

what are the loads like ?

dont think WOW could go GLA x2 daily or any other increases in capacity until they get more aircraft

Flybe have dumped their SOU and GLA sectors plus a few others from what I hear.
