I read that Jet 2 will base another 737-300 at NCL (G-GDFE) from 2nd September as a standby a/c for the Royal Mail network at night and pax services during the day.

Nowt new for S12 from Jet2 other than a second Palma flight on a saturday I take it?

MAH goes back to 1xWeek with the Monday flight axed. This in turn allows the Sat IBZ to move to Mon enabling the 2nd Sat PMI

ALC goes from 4-6xWeek this Summer to 6-7xWeek next Summer. Faro sees some off peak reductions

There is still plenty time for an announcement of new routes but would probably need another based a/c

Virgin at NCL
 

Just got back from the US earlier today with Virgin. Was chatting to Cabin crew and they mentioned that Virgin were planning a limited service NCL to Orlando in 2013. Imagine along the lines of Glasgow operation. Now that would be interesting if the plans come off!!

Virgin
 

Long time since ive posted on here so here is my updates to what i think

I thought that Virgin was planning to operate to SFB for Summer 2012 but since they are leasing 2 A330 out they must be short of aircraft instead. Im sure that virgin holidays have seats on our daily EK service. With virgin having a travel shop in the centre of twn i believe that they will start to expand at NCL.

Im sure that virgin would buy seats on whoever starts the NEW YORK service too.

BRS lost there service as they are close too LHR and CO now have slots and flights from there. NCL is a total different area and i think we could get the route this time fingers crossed.

With BA and IB now part of the same group and IB starting flights to MAD from man and glasgow what are the chances they start a MAD service from NCL using the CRJ1000?

TCX for summer 2012 anybody know what the plans are 4x 757 but will 2 of the aircraft be from outside the group?

THink we will see TCX and TOM adding extra flights to turkey next summer but will see when 2nd/3rd editions brochures go on sale at the end of the year.

Im sure JET2 will add some new routes later this year for next summer.
Bodrum Would be a good bet cash in on H4U failure.

What do you think guys???

Monarch still talking about

I can't see the location of a Virgin Travel Shop having one iota of bearing on where they schedule aircraft to or from. If Virgin are or were short of aircraft then they won't be deploying a/c onto routes lightly and I'm sure they have a plethora of higher yield routes they will plough before a new seasonal start up.

There is no NYC service so buying seats is a moot point as most travel operators would buy some seats.

I suppose there is a vague possibility of BMI operating to FRA for Lufthansa, but that will depend on how they view what the effect might be on their DUS route. Otherwise I would expect LH to increase DUS to 3x daily.

We could do with CPN and Italy is not served at all now.

From Thur 12 January DUB - NCL goes 14 weekly (2 daily). Last winter it operated daily and since last March it has being 11 weekly.

Good news. Looking at the website it seems to become 2 x daily from 4th January.
morning flight...arr NCL 1035...dep NCL 1100
The evening flight looks a bit odd...arr NCL 2150...dep NCL 2155...must be an error there.

Whats the Farnborough flight on todays board? Thats an unusual one : BD8939

Chelsea playing Sunderland Saturday, possibly them flying in ???

fr timings
 

perhaps fr will drop them by parachute. 5 mins to make sure they all jump off.

EASTERN will be adding an additional early afternoon departure to Cardiff on Thursdays only from 3rd October. Dep NCL...1250 Arr NCL....1710

The new Thursday flight will operate

ABZ-NCL-CWL-BHX-NCL

Charter?
 

As the return CWL-BHX-NCL has the BHX-NCL flight number presume ABZ-NCL-CWL some form of charter and that the afternoon NCL-BHX will be canx (still showing at the moment)?

T34035 ABZ-NCL-CWL
&
T34626 CWL-BHX-NCL

These flights are showing as operating every Thursday through until at least March 2012.

So I doubt very much it is a charter.

BHX-NCL
 

So there will be 2 flights at the same time BHX-NCL T34626 at 1610, one coming from CWL as T34626 and one from NCL as T34625 arr 1540?

Didn't think the BHX-NCL was that busy.

NCL - Rygge with FR being pulled from 8 Jan next.
