Ryanair winter timetable

Oslo back to evening times using a liverpool based aircraft

Wed, 25 Oct 06
Flight FR1706 19:35 Depart Newcastle (NCL)
22:10 Arrive Oslo Torp Sandefjord (TRF

Got details of Atlantic Airways charter from an aviation spotters magazine, sold in Newcastle Airport.

Flight details are:

FLI697/696 MOL-NCL-MOL STD 1630 STA 1600 a/c 146-200, starts 5/6-1/10.

Not sure who is chartering a/c orit may well be a private charter for maybe oil rig company...?


Does anyone know who will replace JEM on the regular mail run? Willit be Jet2 with their 2nd based a/c and lets not forget that their 757 will be operating through NCL as from the winter!

just checkn out the arrivals on ncl website and noticed and VLM flight from LCY was arriving the same time as the T3...they got some sort of code-share going on?

NCL-AYT showing in Airtours brochure, operated by FCA, and not on a 'w'...The booking engine doesn't have any flight numbers or times though.

Airtours i dont think will use FCA.

Was looking on a website over the weekend and noticed a company using FCA flight codes starting FCA81** but when u went in to book it brought up TCX flight numbers.

Maybe at the end of the summer season when second editions come out we may see a based aircraft?

NEWCASTLE - 2
 

Please resume discussions here.

Anyone read this months Airliner World?

Comment from Flyglobespan that they are looking at NCL for expansion in the long haul field?

cool thats really good! :) fimngers crossed for South Africa

Flyglobespan and Liverpool

I see that it looks like liverpool is going to get a 3rd low cost carrier to base.

Ryanair, Easyjet and now flyglobespan.

Im sure that there is plenty of room at ncl for a 3rd operator to base

Easyjet and Jet2 and ??

I disagree that there is any room for further lo-co expansion from NCL, the market is pretty much tied up. There realistically is only room for new routes to VLC, MAD, VCE and the new Eastern European markets. Indeed, Jet2 expansion has been tentative, whilst there is no sign of any further EZY expansion in the near future.

The only candidate would be FR as they have a bit more diversity in destinations. WW, LS, EZY and GSM are all pretty much of a muchness in terms of destinations. WW have already made DTV their northeast base, and I think GSM is a non-starter personally.

The only real potential now, in my opinion is full-service destinations - i.e. FRA, JFK/EWR, MUC, ZRH, and (possibly) ATH, HEL, OSL, ARN. Plus a bit more charter diversity - i.e. AHO, BIA, CTA, CUN, DBV, HRG, PUY, SMI, SPU, TCP, SKG.

You have to remember that the catchment area for NCL isn't huge and thus growth will slow down.
easyJet and Jet2 will remain the 2 based LCCs, with perhaps more flights from Ryanair to the likes of Hahn and maybe Stockholm.
Routes that could possibly work are FRA + MUC with Lufthansa (although sectors are long if CRJ operated), VLC and MAD with easyJet, and Eastern European markets with carriers such as Wizz or SkyEurope. Of course, New York with Continental would be a boost for the airport also.
Just have to wait and see what the future holds.

The Liverpool/Oslo Torp/Newcastle/Oslo Torp/Liverpool routing starts 3rd October.

NCL WEBSITE
 

Can you believe that a google search for Newcastle's official website doesn't provide a result until page 4 of a worldwide search and page 5 of a UK wide search? It's been like this as long as I can remember. Wouldn't you think they'd notice and do something about it?

Have easyJet got a 737-300 based at NCL at the moment? :confused:

Ref Google search, Newcastle airport just came up page one and the 1st non sponsored link on an international search, however is down to page five on a uk search?
Tried a few times and got same response.

I think you'll find that's Newcastle, Australia. (.com.au).

Ah.....how right you are, will mention it to our computer people!

Google (and others)Search-Newcastle airport
 

10 DME arc......you probably wasting your time!! As I think i mentioned to you earlier in the year..while sunning in Dubai and Brunei and filling in time keeping out of the sun!! I tried bringing up the airport web site...with no luck whatsoever...Australia ,Uruguay and all other Newcastle's came up fine,but not EGNT !!
Mentioned it to those in the know...but it appears still nothing has been done,oh well you can always fly from DTV or is it Bishop Auckland?(that showed up fine).

Good afternoon Postcard, yes I remember it well! I will pass on again, this and your experiences, you can but try!
