Having just had a peak at Monarch's website, the following routes are listed when NCL is selected as a departure point, though I suspect this is what is currently offered by AVRO (the charetr flight only side of the business?)

• Corfu
• Dalaman
• Heraklion
• Rhodes
• Palma
• Tenerife

avro sell seats for JET2 so check the flights thy may be on JET2 flights and not with MONARCH.

It says they are all Jet2 flights......Newcastle is one of airports listed in light print on their website. Airports they operate from are in heavy print.

I'm interested to see if Eastern come up with anything new for next year and, of course, Lufthansa/BMI and will anyone take up Malta?

Jet 2
 

Self handling on the cards??
I think its going to be something jet2 will think about long and hard

Car Park Codes
 

The current discount code is HORIZONS but as always only valid for the on site long stay car park.

Jet2 Self Handling
 

....I would say a very distinct possibility!!!

So given that Jet2 have got in there first for PRG now, what other loco was originally planning PRG?:)

nef, I think that post could have been read in two ways. This is how I read it...

Krakow back with Jet2 was a welcome suprise as a said a couple of weeks ago Prague was coming back with a different low cost carrier.

Different - Jet2 as opposed to Easyjet last time round.

Excellent news re- Jet2

I'd love them to take on the Barca service, getting at my wits end with Easyjet these days. Using AF/KLM and BA to get between work and home in Barca.

Speaking of BA. Corker of a delay on the BA1333, due out 13.40 and not going unti l9.00 (it'd be quicker to catch the east coast express!)

BA's delay is impressive, but not by any means the only 'corker' today.

Dropped a friend and his wife off for the EZY flight to Palma, and noticed a provisional 15:00 departure for a Belfast departure that should have left at 07:30!!!

More crewing trouble?


RTG!

The BA flight from 13:40 is currently LAST CALL 8hrs later than planned!

BA1333 is still there?!
whats the dly due to?

1333 went tech!

Just to clarify my earlier post the different low cost carrier I referred to was Jet2 as opposed to EZY who operated the route previously.

Now to the Monarch rumour I heard the routes are not the ones shaded grey on the Monarch website as these are as previously mentioned the AVRO seat sale routes. As I understand Monarch are looking for a base from Summer 2012, routes as looked at are Teneriffe, Barcelona, Malaga, Palma and Alicante. Could the airport be looking to replace a lost EZY base in summer 2012 as I cant see both EZY and ZB operating NCL to BCN for example. However as were talking about 2012 lots of things can change.

I also believe that FR have considered, discussed and ruled out with the airport the possibility of picking up the now vacated STN route

I just wonder whether FR will move their Girona flights to El Prat in the future, and maybe go year round at 3/4 weekly

Dubai pax figs up 16% for June, average load factor (assuming HD A332 used on all flights) of 75.5%.

Wonder how that load factor compares to other UK stations? I know MAN have had ridiculously high load factors

Glasgow was 89%, MAN was mid 90s I believe, dunno BHX or London Airports

The a/c departed for BFS as scheduled but had to return shortly after takeoff due to a technical problem. A 6th a/c was on the ground last night instead of the usual 5, so I'm guessing they brought it in from somewhere else instead of cancelling the flight altogether.

There were lots of diversions from BFS last night presumably due to the weather (thunderstorms)
