I really feel like EZY are the people to do EU city routes for us, they perform well on BCN, GVA and NCE and on BRS and BFS. I see no reason they couldn't make MXP, MUC, SXF, VCE, MAD etc. and many more work

I really hope NCL gets some of this recent UK growth it deserves

Good news from AF/KL today, over 500,000 pax for 2015 is good going!

Air France-KLM makes Newcastle Airport vow after passenger success (From The Northern Echo)

Wondering if frequency or capacity increases could be in the pipeline?

It would be nice to have AF mainline. Those CityJet 146s are ghastly things inside. Maybe when the Sukhois arrive it will be better. They won't be 6 seats wide.

Eurowings just diverted to Manchester. There must be some nasty weather over the airfield at the minute.

TCX movments
 

Got MT9514 showing as a TCX charter to Lourdes on 26th next month using the A330-200, if correct could be a good catch!

Emirates EK35 diverted to TZX Turkey
 

This morning's flight from Dubai has been diverted to TZX Trabzon Airport (East Black Sea region of Turkey) as per FR24
Seems like more than a medical emergency landing.
Newcastle Airport Arrivals is showing an esteimated Provisional Arrival time of 2050 this evening and a delayed Departure time of 2230. Check in has also been delayed from this morning until 1830 this evening.

Replacement A6-EGS in Trabzon now should be leaving soon

Hope the A330 is true, also I believe there is meant to be a charter to Bergen on Saturday 13th... What airline or aircraft I do not know though

The TCX 330 Lourdes flight is correct and I think Bergen charters are Jet2 on the 733.

Cheers nclops, do you know of anything else? I feel as though we're due some interesting movements it's been a while... Not seen the Kuwaiti's for ages!

Bearing in mind 'the Kuwaitis'' cargo, I'd be a bit disappointed if anyone let us all know in advance when they are going to be turning up (and when a few truckloads of cash are making their way up the Western Bypass)!

we've discussed this before - everyone knows about it and its several zillion Kuwaiti dinars - mianly in low denomination notes

If you knock it over you'll have a real problem buying a beer down the Bigg Market with them and then trying to export several tons of them to Kuwait isn't going to be easy either

I don't think even N Rock ran dinar accounts....................

meal time at N.Rock...
 

No..they just used L.V,s in their canteen!! :)

Fair point Harry. Still, probably not the sort of thing they'll want to advertise.

I've heard about them a few days in advance before, maybe a week... Do De La Rue still do the money for them? And are the Kuwaiti's the biggest bulk buyers? Never see any other nationalities coming over for their cash

cargo flights
 

Think you will find most of these "special" flights go out of Robin Hood and Stansted.
Newcastle. Not able to handle...

EK77WNCL when the Euro first came out there was a regular IL-76 shuttle.


Thought I saw something in the media were the factory was being reduced or moved?

All Euro notes that begin with the letter H at the start of the serial number are printed by De La Rue in Gateshead irrespective of the country which issues them

That's a shame, but I suppose it's not really worth NCL setting up a cargo handling area of any kind of scale for 3/4 large cargo operations per year

I'll bear that in mind about the euros, I didn't know that but that's very interesting
