YL-LCL
 
I'd be very surprised if this is in the public domain.

Jamesair 5th Aug 2013 17:22

Probably want to keep it quiet I should think.

From the Telegraph an article about flights booked through the Government system

Minister's veto keeps public sector jet set's £77m flight bill a mystery - Telegraph

Among the hundreds of internal flights was an economy class trip from Birmingham to Newcastle, booked through Eastern Airways at a cost of £1,744. The three-hour journey costs £144 by peak-time standard class train.

At that rate you can see why EA want to keep the route running!

£1,774 is about five times the maximum you can pay for a return flight from Birmingham to Newcastle.

almost certainly someone making a block booking for several people

New aircraft type for NCL on Thursday
 
Seems that the airport have let the cat out of the bag with a message from a social networking site.

BA787 due into NCL around 10AM Thursday from Manston, leaving around 13:00 for EDI.

Does anyone know why this site replaces something rhyming with Bitter with pPrune?

VickersVicount 6th Aug 2013 20:51

I don't think it was a secret. Has been known about in various circles for weeks

TCX6524 delayed from NCL this evening.

Does anybody know is this a tech issue or has the aircraft in question positioned elsewhere to operate another flight? I believe it's G-JMCG.

Charlie98 10th Aug 2013 22:39

Seems like JMCG has gone tech, i thought that was YL-LCL's job :}

Will MT be chartering in an aircraft to cover?

GrahamK 11th Aug 2013 00:04

Not just TCX. TOM had a 757 in earlieer

JonnyH 11th Aug 2013 09:13

JMCE has positioned in to do the mornings rotation to NBE.

JMCG left at around 8 this morning to DLM with a hefty delay.

GrahamK 12th Aug 2013 13:54

Is NCL a bit busy at the moment, it seems that the inbound EZY from AGP is holding off the coast at 2,000ft. Don't think I've EVER seen a/c holding to get into NCL :confused::suspect:

Richard Taylor 12th Aug 2013 14:00

Weather, maybe?

Easyjet
 
Do they still have 1 x 320 and 2 x 319s at NCL. Today it looks like 3 x 319s?

SWBKCB 14th Aug 2013 05:42

Appears to be 1 x 320 and 2 x 319s still (there is a third 319 comes in BRS about 07.30 each weekday which then goes to one of the Spanish destinations and then back to BRS)

Aer Lingus Regional will be starting DUB-NCL from 24th of Oct. Flights are bookable on the Aer Lingus website.

CentreFix25 14th Aug 2013 15:14

Good connections and prices to NY. If they run it long enough this time and promote it properly it could be a winner.

GrahamK 14th Aug 2013 16:01

Excellent news :)

Jamesair 14th Aug 2013 17:17

Very good news especially as it's 2xdaily M - F & Su, 1 Sa. operated with a mix of ATR 72/42 a/c.

How will Ryanair respond????


No news announcement today on the airport website....they seem very slow to act when there is important route news like this.

GrahamK 14th Aug 2013 18:10

James, they still haven't announced Easyjet to TFS!
