I would use NCL-DUS more often for some of my European trips. The afternoon flight out is OK to connect on for an evening arrival but it is impossible to use for a return flight unless you are actually visiting DUS and even then you haven't really got time to do any work before the 11:00 CET departure.

David "Davey" Laws left NCL almost two years ago before joining LBA last year (and funnily enough he replaced another former NIA CEO - least said...)

John Irving arrived as Finance director in early 2015 with no aviation background (ex NUFC amongst others)

Any rumours about new route announcements from RYR or EZY for summer 18?.

Had word through today that BE would operating a seasonal SZG in the summer.

On behalf of TUI, twice on a Saturday with a Dash.

Thomson (TUI)

not on airport website timetable yet but FREEBIRD is operating a dalaman flight saturday mornings for the summer

edit

AYT on a wednesday night is also shown as operating as FHY for TUI holidays

I wouldnt thank you for a Salzburg flight on a Dash8. Its noisy enough on a short domestic trip and rubbish overheads.

Easyjets NEO Roadshow has arrived at Newcastle as A20N G-UZHB has swapped over at GVA as the based A320 for a few days.

Looks like Ryanair reducing NCL-DUB to 10 x weekyl for W18/19. Double daily Mon, Fri and Sun only.
Alicante, Malaga, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Warsaw and Wroclaw all remain the same.

No Faro, Girona, Madrid or Gdansk bookable after October (so far)

With EZY updating their fleet will we see any of these out of NCL this summer? Love to think I'd get on the new jets out to the Balearics.

Newcastle suffering from Carlisle and DTV Dublin competition?

Maybe the powers that be might go out and actually look for new business..Aer Lingus anyone!!

Where can I book? :ok:

I can't find any booking engine with DTV - DUB - DTV flights on or CAX - DUB - CAX. Can you help out please.

DTV is a rumour and Cax planned to start in June but no carrier announced yet

Can't see RYR's plans being swayed by either.

Is that the same Aer Lingus that fly to Dublin and Cork from NCL?

CAX is Glasgow south or Manchester north depending on your perspective!

With only 4 in the fleet this last week will probably be the only time you will see the NEO based for a while.

When is the easyJet press report about it at ncl is that tomorrow?

:ok:

Thank you, Liam.
