2013 Summer schedules - same as 2012, 5 daily (at present).

Dubai was down 12% from BHX and 7% down from Gatwick

Now that NCL United looks set to play in Europe next season, can we look forward to seeing some interesting charter flights coming to and going from the airport?

I seem to remember that last time round it was pretty productive.

Im sure that from September we will see a big increase in pax with the 777 having a better product to offer than the A330

Unless you are stuck down the back with 10 across seating!

Jamesair,

I'm sure Jet2 will be pleased :ok:

The Sunday Times today reports that the auction for the 49% share of the airport held by Copenhagen Airports is about to take place. There seem to be several interested parties.

I was thinking it may be the owners of gatwick but they have bought EDI now.

lets hope its someone good with lots of money to invest in new airlines and routes... not peel.... lol

Bloomberg are reporting the Sunday Times as saying the following:

Newcastle has attracted interest from funds including 3i Group Plc (III), Antin Infrastructure Partners SAS and IMF Australia Ltd. (IMF), the newspaper said.

Lets hope VAS keep their distance ;)

Jet2 has doubled its frequency to Dubrovnik for Summer 2013 - Wednesday and Sunday compared to Saturday this year.

Alicante seems to be going double daily on saturdays in place of the 2nd Palma.

brussels airlines are increasing capacity on BRU route by almost 60% from start of winter.

VAS and Barratts sounds like a good investment team;)

N707ZS, Very amusing - but the good people of Woolsington ain't going to let it happen, and plenty of other suitable sites in the North East...

The increase is down down to SN replacing the current BD regional 49 seater ER4 that ops the route with one of there 82 seater AR8's. SN plan to remove these aircraft from there fleet by the end of 2012. So I would expect a slight reduction to the planned 60% capacity increase.

SN are planning to increase the number of 78 seater DH4's they have currently leased from BE from 2 to 4 starting W12. The aircraft tipped to be used to op the BRS and NCL routes.

In other news LS are planning to op there S13 flights to MAH at the same frequency and to operate it on the same days as S12. The only real change is that the Friday departure will now op in a W pattern operating:

NCL-MAH-EDI-MAH-NCL

As a result of the the W pattern operation the return flight from MAH will move to a 19:40 departure from MAH and 21:40 arrival in NCL. The current S12 flight departs MAH at 11:50, arriving NCL at 13:50.

See post 2923 of 20 April which explained what was going to happen.

SWBKCB - the good people of Woolsington will at the end of the day end up with these houses. Plans have been announced for 1500 houses in Ponteland very near to Dobbies (1000 units) this would have a huge impact of future growth of the airport due to the fact its very close to land earmarked for future airport use. I suspect the good folks of Ponteland and the adjacent well known estate will carry more clout that the folks of Woolsington at the end of the day.

Anyone aware why AirFinland operated todays ALC Rotation?
