sorry to butt in from the DTV thread...but do you guys really know how lucky you are to have such a service??

Try DTV with a couple of flights to Amsterdam and Aberdeen!!

A mate of mine who works for someone connected to ek(indirectly) told me last week..0ver 420 passengers and 25 + tons of freight were on a flight last week...cant do much better than that me thinks?

Roll on the next Aberdeen departure from here!:D

EK have 23 A330s in the fleet. Surely if the NCL route didn't warrant a 77W, it wouldn't have one!

Maybe the nice people at Emirates (Who made some £400m profit last year) know how to run an airline slightly better than some people on here....

When GLA first changed to the 77W, IIRC it was getting similar loads, but as word of mouth spread its pax figures grew and grew as well. Not saying this will happen with NCL as its a much smaller market. They need to chase the folk that are still heading away from NCL and flying from GLA and MAN especially.

People chill I know that Emirates loads are fine for suddenly having the extra seats available and as Graham says is doing better than Glasgow at this stage in the route development!
Where the extra seats are making a difference is kids holidays with a lot of flights totally full. The rest of the time will build especially if they keep the prices around present levels.

Do you think Air france might use a A319 etc later on this week due to the cancelled services?

Some of the CDG rotations are still operatng.

On a related note however, it will be interesting to see what happens with the route now that CityJet have been sold. Will they remain on the route, or will we see the entry of AF Hop with Brit Air CR7s again?

Whatever happens, AF will want to keep the transfer traffic.

Good news for Newcastle Airport as new routes announced .

New flights from Newcastle Airport mean more choice for holidaymakers - Chronicle Live

additional flights, not new routes.

Oops , i hadn't noticed it was old news

At NCL now and looks like the TCX lease plane has gone tech as its been moved to the far corner and they've got a new aircraft in to fly the delayed Ibiza flight.

No fuss, would be interested in having a look at it without having to pop down to Man that was all.

*removes auto correct from phone in case the spelling upsets people again*

It looks like BA will beat TOM in flying the 787 through Newcastle, rumoured to be replacing the Airbusses on some of the shuttle flights from August onwards

G-FCLK has struck her wand again, stranding passengers at SSH - I really dislike that aircraft, it's always got a lack of punctuality

Ouch, not due in until after 7pm tonight, :ouch:

I notice there is a Belavia 737-500 due in within the hour, something top do with athletcis in Gateshead this weekend?

Belavia 737
 

Hi - Belavia 737 EW-250PA is not due go back to Minsk until the 24th, so it could be bringing athletes in for the Gateshead event. Pic: Boeing 737: 26319 EW-250PA 737-524 Belavia Newcastle Airport | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

SAS 737-700 inbound from Alesund. Gussing this is athletics related too? Also is this the first time a 737-700 with winglets has appeared at NCL?

Nope - JetTime machine operating for Jet2 in few a weeks back, but I'm sure there has been others.

Air France A320 shortly to arrive from CDG :ok:
