Article in Newcastle chronicle tonight..re opening June 1st..new flight..new rules!

I wonder if the airport will consider diversification as the business model now..away from just footfall in duty free?Maybe similar to Teesside,Bournemouth,EMA, et al? Just a thought.

Pays not to have all your eggs in one basket..as has been shown these last few months?

As in my post earlier today...

The issue NCL has is with space/infrastructure for diversification.

I think any permanent divergence from the business plan based on a pandemic (at least in the long term) is ill judged - though short to medium term benefits are probably there.

This new business park and other nearby developments will certainly help.

From a purely selfish point of view, what is the latest theory on when Exeter will (re)start? Purely selfish as I'm due to visit that neck of the woods in late July. I guess this will be one of the routes that are less of a priority than Southampton or the oil run to Aberdeen. Firm news or rumours welcome :)

Not been through NCL since early March.
Are there currently many aircraft temporarily stored at NCL ? If so is there any signs of imminent departure ?

Oh well,that’s not too complicated

Most easyJet services not re-starting until August now

GrahamK 2nd Jun 2020 09:12

As an aside to highwideandugly's needs for the airport to diversify, I see they are advertising a drive in cinema at the airport later on in the year. Is that diverse enough? :E
