So the obvious question is how does that compare to 2022 and 2023? Nine aircraft base?

Thank you.

Emirates
 

Emirates flights on sale daily from December on their website. Not seen anything official from them or airport. Can anyone out there confirm as it’s good news if true.

I've just checked March and no Tuesday or Thursday flight. Could be extra flights in December because of the World Cup in Qatar.

They are on sale for the rest of the winter timetable period. I have just checked CRS availability.

I see that NCL are attending the Routes conference.....hope some new routes come out of it.
I would like to see Lisbon and maybe Istanbul a return of Nice...Oslo and Copenhagen.

Wonder if they might replace the beat-up couches in the departure shed.

Have Ryanair confirmed their summer schedule S23 yet? There were whispers Chania might be dropped.

Majority of routes UK wide are not for sale on their website.

Back up to flights a day to Heathrow from Mon.

Number of flights added! :ok:

Turkish looking at 28 new destinations and Newcastle is listed (the only UK one)

FLYBE
 

FLYBE timetable now showing

LONDON (LHR)....MON - FRI dep. 1550
from 7th Nov.
BELFAST (BHD)...from 7th Nov. M - F & S Then increasing to DAILY. from 14th Nov

LHR ...unexpected development....BHD expected.

Have a look at the market shares between easyJet and flybe when flybe 1.0 last flew the route. Flybe had a maximum of 15% share and had already dropped the route from it’s Belfast network. Add to that, the folly of a once daily service to Heathrow where 80% of the traffic is connecting. How long can this shambles last?

LHR might be a case of finding use for one of the slots it holds there. BHD ....I agree with your observations...... EZY has that market pretty well sewn up....when I look at the EZY/RYANAIR monthly figures, I hadn't realised just how big the NCL - IRELAND market is....with Cork now operating and Shannon being added next year.

I give it a loss making 12 months….

Within 2 years Newcastle Airport Local Authority Holding company (owners of the airport) need to find and pay £188m worth of debts off, including around £60m this year.
With interest rates as they are and a balance sheet that has been heading oneway over the last few years, who is going to pick up the tab?
Currently Newcastle is a £400m black hole owned by the North East tax payer!

Was that a typo? Didn't you mean weeks?

An iceberg lettuce might outlast it.

I make the September figures 470k without Bristol which was 10k in August. Sept 2019 was 554k. The big losers are Palma, Alicante, Malaga and LHR which are all down over 10k each compared to 2019. Canaries are up (Tenerife and Las Palmas).

Despite all the reported difficulties AMS and CDG virtually identical to 2019, as is DUS. Aberdeen massively down, as is Southampton - about a third of 2019. Maybe that might have been a better chaoice for BE...
