The estimated loadfactor seems very good indeed.

A question, that 114% increase in pax, is that in relation to the same month, last year, or how should I read that?

Do you happen to have data on the number of pax on the route this year, as well as the total number of pax in 2009, so I can work out how many more pax SN attracted since they increased frequencies again?

Check your PMs.

I've shown you how to access CAA stats.

SN146 15th Dec 2010 20:32

Thank you!
I'll have a go at it and post the figures here for those interested, meaning nobody but me probably, but okay... ;)

YTD pax numbers on NCL-BRS: 30,101, against 15,874 over the same period in 2009, so an increase of almost 90%.

A fair few diversions in today, including an EK 77W from BHX, and BA 747, 767 and 777, with two more BA 744s en-route into Newcastle now.

Has there ever been a time where NCL has seen 3 x 747s on the ground at the same time?

KNIEVEL77 18th Dec 2010 15:18

Any idea when the 747's are likely to depart, i'll pop up for a look.

Shame there's no viewing point any more though!

nclops 18th Dec 2010 20:13

They are all stopping overnight, prob leaving around lunch time tomorrow depending on the weather!

Diversions
 
Anybody know if the diverted Aircraft from Saturday ( BA 747's etc) if they are still at Newcastle or returned back to there base? plus i saw a Thomas Cook A330 on Monday was that also a diversion? and has there been anymore up here?

EGNT 22nd Dec 2010 10:59

They've all long gone. There was two BA 737-400's also diverted in, but they left yesterday around lunchtime.

The TCX was to operate a cruise charter, I believe to POP.

Israel
 
Hope everyone had a good christmas.

I have just finished watching the Top Gear Special and it got me thinking, apologies if this is already been talked about. But what are the chances of the airport getting a link to Israel?

Would El AL launch a route to Tel Aviv or even Jet2 at twice weekly, do you think it would work? Just with the large Jewish population in Gateshead i would have thought it would.

Hope you all have a good New Years!

Some interesting numbers in this story from yesterdays Chronicle:

Newcastle Airport seizes a stash of weapons - Chronicle News - News - ChronicleLive


a total of 1,597,964 passengers and staff have been screened over the last six months at Newcastle Airport.

Of those 270,212 set off alarms as they walked through metal detectors and had to be searched.

A total of 2,869,623 items were screened by x-ray, an average of 1.8 items per passenger.

From the total number of staff and passengers screened at the airport 668,534 were between the peak hours of 4am and 8am.

Since January this year 88.6% of passengers have had their security check completed in under five minutes.

Only 1.6% have taken longer than ten minutes.

Just out of interest, is it possible to take an unassembled brand new shotgun on board an internal UK flight from Stansted to Newcastle or do I need to contact Easyjet and the airport security and get clearance and paperwork first?

KNIEVEL77 30th Dec 2010 11:37

All that info is on my licence anyway which is held by the Law Enforcement Agencies so that's no problem to me!

I seem to recall easyJet allow the carraige of sport/competition firearms in the hold, however I do believe you need to contact the airline before you travel.

From easyjet:


Can I take my sports firearms on board?


For an additional non-refundable fee we can take sporting or competition firearms and a maximum of five kilos of ammunition on board.

Please note that firearms must be packed individually in a suitable gun bag and ammunition must be packed securely in a hard wooden or metal box. Ammunition with explosive or incendiary projectiles is prohibited.

In addition, you must inform us in advance that you wish to take firearms or ammunition on board and you will need to show valid documentation of proof of ownership and legal authority for the possession of the firearm at check-in (even if you are carrying only ammunition). Please make sure you arrive at check-in at least 90 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of your flight in order that we can carry out all the necessary checks. If you arrive after this time you may not be allowed to fly.

Please call our Customer Experience Team on 0871 244 2366 to let us know if you are travelling with a firearm or ammunition.

For more information about sports/competition firearms and baggage allowances check out our Carrier's Regulations.
Not sure what difference if any it will make if the firearm is not assembled, but I think a call to the airline would be a good place to start.
