Durham Tees Valley-7
 

Newmarket Holidays have axed all their one off charters UK wide after this season

Does that mean they are going to buy space on scheduled flights?

I believe so yes, they used KLM for some of this years, I think they're just going to keep doing that. The impression I got is sourcing and chartering aircraft is too hard/expensive

Pity another loss of passengers.I know not many but good advertising if nothing else?
Wonder what that means for Omega Holidays who also operate from DTV?

and by all accounts phase two of said Peel plans are to be announced imminently :ok:

Maybe a response from FlyBe/Eastern to Loganair coming in? Have to admit, struggling to see which business type routes could be viable, apart from a possible London City flight?

Hi guys..change of subject..any dates on the Skylive air show next year yet?

Don't know the answer to your Skylive query, but I have a change of subject of my own - marketing, something that historically the airport has never got right, in the last couple of weeks I've heard KLM advertise Newcastle-Amsterdam on two local stations that have recently favoured Durham-Amsterdam, and can somebody please point me in the direction of some Loganair advertising because I'm drawing a blank, I noted some on the Northern Echo website when it was first announced but that seems to have gone :confused:

Wonder if it's because it wouldn't be cost effective?
My thought is there is very little " new" point to point traffic out there and most of the guys( and girls)because of the oil industry mainly served would already know about the new service?
Probably also advertised in the oil industry circles?

Just looking at the great DTV movements web site...Are there any Grouse left on the Yorkshire moors!!!!????

What caused the new start on the thread? See we are back to page 1.

Highwide I was going to suggest it is just Consort doing as they promised, as there has been a marked increase even ignoring the grouse shooters...but curiously I noted swissport handling a couple of todays corporate flights

Do Consort advertise their services? Must say I haven't seen any? Don't suppose they have much say in where the Grouse aircraft go..do the aircraft not follow the Grouse?!!

Figures updated on DTV website..still a downward trend in all areas including movements...wonder when it will bottom out? Nearly as predicted earlier in the year down to 1970 levels.What is more worrying,this is on the back of Most airports reporting record figures?

I'd imagine due to size of the thread? A whole load of new threads have been created so nothing in particular due to DTV.

I'd also like to point out I'm not the thread starter, they must have nipped the old thread off just above one of my posts

Minor news, but the last Fokker flights by KLM will occur on the 28 October. From then on capacity will increase on this route as the smallest aircraft KLM posses is an Embraer 175 with 88 seats. It's a slightly quicker aircraft and slightly more comfortable. But there is less storage space in the cabin for bags. So if your flight is full you will find that some cabin bags will have to be loaded into the holds. But any bags so loaded will no longer be at the foot of the stairs in AMS. They will instead go to the baggage carousel at your final destination.

I bet the Newcastle passengers wish DTVA would take Newcastle diversions like the olden days. Bus from Edinburgh or Prestwick must have been a pain.

Suppose it must also be the choice of the airline.

Generally MME is a good place to divert to, if they are open. Assuming they are you also best have a contract in advance to stop yourself paying over the odds for handling. But if you do get in they are pretty good at dealing with the unusual.

Presumably why the NCL divs went to places they currently operate from?
