They may, but it needs to go onto airside on licenced vehicles and drivers. Like any other vehicle on ANY AIRSIDE.

Teesside not available for fuel then.

Apparently they are too busy these days to take extra unscheduled traffic 😀

Might be short of parking space.

Much more likely Teesside doesn't hold stocks of fuel sufficient to cope with half a dozen "splash and goes" at the drop of a hat, not to mention that some of the airlines may not have handling contracts or fees agreements with MME, such as they do at EMA for example.

Ryanair NEW ROUTE
 

first of many added for winter

Barcelona and Cork

Brilliant.....good to see Barcelona and Cork back again.....BCN operated by inward bound aircraft...Cork by based a/c

1 flight of cork is based the other is cork based.

still no work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays for the second based aircraft I’m expecting more to be announced or amendments.

Here's the airports press release, so doesn't look like anything else for now. So who has operated these routes before - EasyJet and Vueling for BCN, Jet2 and Aer Lingus Regional for ORK - anybody else?

Have Air France curt their evening flight permanently.
It used to leave around 16:40 - can't see it on any schedules well into next year.

In fact some days there is only 1 flight a day.

On another note, the Riga flight last weekend that I was on was full both ways.

Good news about the healthy loads on Riga....I noticed that Ryanair have made it a year round route.

The Air France schedule seems to be 12-14 flights a week at the moment. Th late afternoon flight has operated a couple of times, on a random basis, but as you say, no sign of it returning full time yet. With all the problems KLM are having at AMS though, wouldnt surprise me to see it come back at some point.

Surprised at Malta and Paris Orly not going ‘gangbusters’ by looks of it

Total pax number to the end of May.... 2,166,203

I've been on the Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt quite a few times this year and it's always been busy.

Looks like it's a Embraer E90 in the schedule starting tomorrow, so slightly more capacity (and a more comfortable experience in my opinion) than the CRJ900 that has been working the route so far.

Any explanations for the.......... TURKISH AIRLINES TK3235 from ISTANBUL ...arr....1935...,....showing on the Arrivals Board but not for subsequent departure.

now 1627 and it has disappeared from the Board......Flight Radar show it as a scheduled service B738........maybe this is a future route not yet announced?

Basketball international - World Cup qualifier at the Arena on Sunday

Thanks for that info.

G-JZBH destined for AYT returned tonight - suspected bird strike.

LHR
 

Four out of Six flights from LHR cancelled today. ( one at short notice)

Only ONE flight from NCL - LHR tomorrow.

Not Good !!

I have just done LH to LEJ via FRA return and yes the extra seats on the E190 must be good as the CRJ900 was full on way out and very nearly full coming back! But I must say personal preference is for the CRJ900! It really could do with going double daily, Especially when BA first choice for cutbacks is domestic!

Emirates frequency increases to 5.x weekly from today, still think the old times were better than the evening times currently used

And a visit today from a comparatively rare 777-200LR A6-EWF. Anyone know when the last visit of this type on the DXB service was?

18 March. Quite a few low density a/c operating at the moment. Same every year. Hajj/Ramadan related?

Wonder if Lufthansa will take advantage of the huge Amsterdam onward market (and chaos) and increase flights from Newcastle ?

Another E190 on tomorrows flight

FRA also seems to be having it’s fair share of trouble and LH has had to make cancellations so they are probably not in much of a position to capitalise on it.

I’m well aware of the airport travel chaos around the UK and beyond, but up until recently, Newcastle has been spared the worst and it’s largely been business as usual.

These last few days, something has changed though with 30 minute to 3 hour delays more frequent than on time departures. Even Jet2 aren’t immune.

Has something changed these last few days or has their luck just run out?

Just busy first thing, I believe and then those delays ripple on through the day.

The ATC strike in Spain is probably not helping the situation either.

Flybe have cancelled......Belfast City to NCL for Summer 22.

Was it worth even considering going against Easyjet.

Different airports, different markets, plenty to go round. They did compete for years anyway. I wouldn't by any stretch say that EZY had the market (or any tbh) 'wrapped up' either

While I don't expect the new Flybe to be around by 2025 and I'm sure it's a basket case. Newcastle - Belfast isn't a daft market to get into and there is enough to go round.

It is currently taking 9 based aircraft to operate the JET 2 timetable from NCL

An extra a/c arrived last week - the usual Scottish vs English school holidays switch

One of which presumably came from Edinburgh which has lost two, down to 4.

have Jet2 ever done this before?

while it’s a good move for both Jet2 and Newcastle I know lots of people who have previously been prepared to drive to EDI from
NCL to save a significant amount of £‘s on foreign holidays due to the non-alignment of school holidays. They just be trying to shut this market down!

Do extra aircraft go into EDi/GLA in June early July?

Some Air France changes for September, flights increasing to 17 x weekly, with a 3rd flight operating early evenings on Mon, Wed and Thurs.
Night-stopper and mid morning flights operated by AF mainline, these extra flights operated by Hop!

Given the chaos in AMS, not surprised to see this.
