To be fair LH is having huge problems with Union strikes at it's Airports in Germany at the moment....Fri flights are being particularly hit by cancellations

Not a criticism of you, Lambton Worm, but it says a lot about NCL, and the North East in general that we regard it as strange that a route from one post-industrial city in Germany to another post-industrial city in the UK, attracts folks from the one in Germany.
You're right, though. I went through NCL last week and as always, the overwhelming majority of accents I heard were from the North East. Which contrasts slightly with the Newcastlegatesheadalloneword people's assertions that Tyneside is some sort of world-class tourist destination. I wonder where NCL stands in any league table of UK airports' outbound/inbound ratios?

FR just announced NCL-BCN twice weekly from April. Looks like a/c is BCN based given the timings.

BCN in not a new route - however looks to have been made a year-round route after launching last December for the Winter 22/23 season.

BCN - Its been on sale for ages, I booked some friends well before Christmas for June - Just more press release for free advertising...

They mustn't be on sale just yet.

How are the freight figures on the 737 freight flight?

Which one?

The FedEx is averaging about 50t inbound and 50-100t outbound per month.

The West is presumably a private charter - no CAA stats available yet, but so long as the client is happy...

Now in the system. Flights run November-April. Cape Verde is Tuesday. Egypt is Wednesday.

Thank you yes can see them now.

The schedule FedEx was the one of interest. No particular reason.

Looks like Air France are no longer increasing flights to CDG up to 14 weekly, instead, until August at least, they will operate 6/7 weekly.
Edit, suspect they are in the process of updating schedules

That's a shame. It means for my trips they are still unusable.
I don't trust 90 min connections!

I have flights booked in May to Return in June. Both AC downsized from A319 to E70 and E90s both now operated by hop.

Just noticed one of my FR flights in April to ALC is a Max, any idea if Newcastle or Alicante based?

Have KLM stopped the night stopping Amsterdam? See Teesside still have it?

Strange times!
