Are people doubting Thomsons plan to run a Dreamliner?
BBC News - Thomson Airways upbeat as Dreamliner arrives |
Ok - I'll make it simpler. There are no plans for the Thomson's 787's to visit Newcastle on the current flights they are undertaking prior to service entry.
No doubt we'll see them eventually on long haul IT's. What is all the fuss about? |
They already announced it some months ago that it would do NCL-CUN from Summer 2014 onwards
|
2014
All BY long haul flights next year are opperated by the Dreamliner at this time
Also to the above we start getting the Dreamliner inbound from CUN within the next few months. |
The TOM 787 is on thw Cancun during April 2014 (interestingly I dont believe its on the SFB). And then returns on the CUN and SFB from July 2014.
Will it be able to do thw CUN nonstop or will it still be via MAN? I see Jet2 are utilising a Livingston A320 at the moment, currently on its way to Rome. |
SAS/EASTERN
Anyone know why the Eastern Stavanger and SAS Copenhagen have been cancelled today?
|
|
Extra based aircraft?
|
Thomson S14
Looks to be more intensive use of base aircraft plus some foreign aircraft
|
GAXLN - Thanks nice to hear.
Hope every one likes the aircraft types and colour schemes being used now.......real deal busters........:confused: |
On the JournalLive website it looks like May has been another great month for Emirates at NCL with a 30% increase! Things can only get better with the summer holidays coming up!
|
Dubai
I assume 30% plus and not 30% otherwise this would be dismal.
May 2012 passenger figure per CAA 10329 + 30% = 13427 divide by 62 = 217 pax per flight!!! Plannned capacity 428 seats x 62 = 26536 giving load factor 51% :ooh: Luckily there were 27 downgrades (upgrade for the pax :)) to circa 360 seat three class versions making the final load factor nearer 60%. However I still hope the figure given was an estimate. May 2012 was an awful month for Dubai from the regions with MAN -12 and BHX -17 and evens Glasgows packed lone service at the time was down 3% Good job that freight is paying the way. Pete |
Emirates story here:
Emirates delight as Newcastle Airport passenger numbers rise - Today's News - News - JournalLive Couple of interesting quotes from Emirates UK vice president Laurie Berryman: And he said cargo loads on the 428-seater 777-300ER out of Newcastle were now approaching capacity. He said: “Cargo loads have improved dramatically over the last six months. One reason is that our handler has a new scanner that allows them to handle all types of cargo rather than having to move some elsewhere. But we’re also sending up a truck from Heathrow to bring cargo to fly it out of Newcastle. And the week before last we saw the first load of more than 20 tonnes from Newcastle – that’s almost full capacity.” “I was talking to our chauffeur drivers the other day and they were saying they have been carrying a record number of business class passengers to Newcastle in the last few weeks. And looking forward the outlook is very strong through to November. We’re very pleased how things are going.” |
Sorry, Im not sure I get it, apart from the usual spin from EK re cargo, is the EK NCL service doing well or not, all this take of low pax loads is making me confused
|
Have to say I'm surprised they are nearly at capacity for cargo unless pax loads are low as the 773ER would be surely restricted off the NCL runway. It's great news however long may it continue.

Hooded.
Think the EK gent means maximum freight being carried for NCL field length. As Olton Pete says, it was a massive capacity increase going from an A332 straight to a 77W when MAN and BHX at least went to a 772 and built from there. Certainly yesterday and today NCL had 3 class machines (ENE) today.It needs to attain at least a 75-80% load factor on a 2 class machine to be safe you would think. Using a 3 class machine can only last so long, as sure EK can make better use of fronT end business/1st class elsewhere in the World. Good luck to NCL and EK for the future though. Nigel |
Lots of delays this morning for outbound flights I've noticed causing some minor and one large delay for flights leaving this afternoon.
Did anything happen this morning? Find it strange that 8/9 flights are delayed because of this mornings late flights. |
French Air Traffic Control strike until Thursday. Again.
|
airport delays
delays at all airports for the next few days due to french air traffic controllers action.

Emirates
Why all the negativity? Don't recall anybody holding a gun to their heads making them either start up in the first place or upgrade to a larger aircraft.
Similarly they seem to be the only one's talking about how well the route is doing and about upgrading to twice daily. EK might well be different, but usually if a route is in trouble you'd expect the "use it or lose it" approach rather than the route being talked up. Maybe the stories about the route being profitable on freight alone are true, and not just urban myth? :E |
