Norwich
Good news for Norwich this morning.
Permission approved for new 30 acre Business Park incorporating MRO and painting facilities amongst other aviation and non-aviation purposes. |
Certainly is when you look at small niche airports, they need to diversify and not become a Doncaster etc so this will do very well in supporting the airport, which looks as though is unlikely to expand its scheduled pax ops from what they have. I assume Air Livery may be moving over or expanding into this new area?

The Southend fans will hope this is an expension of Air Livery facilities at Norwich and not the start of transfer ops from Southend to Norwich.......

Do TUI operate their 738 non stop to the likes of Tenerife, Greece and Turkey and any load restrictions due to runway length?

Credit to @@SeanM1997 on twitter and further to what has been posted on the Ryanair thread
From April 1st 2024 (no April fools) Ryanair to Operate, Alicante, Faro and Malta all twice weekly, all operating Mon and Fri Perhaps quite a surprise although certainly a market for a few Sun routes with Ryanair despite the closeness of their largest base. Although some enjoy Stansted I know there are plenty who don't so will be certainly welcomed. Perhaps my biggest surprise/question mark is Ryanair and it being very much against airports with development fee's as seen when Newquay had theirs. Perhaps a miracle maybe about to happen and Norwich are about to drop it, but more likely the relationship with RCA group that also owns EXT and BOU and I'm sure a very favourable deal for RYR got the deal over the line to Operate from NWI. |
I won't give the specific numbers but Ryanair within the first 48 hours of the routes been on sale they have for the first month of operation in April 24 sold
Over 340 seats for Alicante Over 160 seats for Faro Over 180 seats for Malta obviously a long way to go for the roughly 9000 seats on sale each month, but certainly encouraging for the what is probably the quieter month of the Summer season and for just 2 days sales in what is a time people are concentrating on paying for Christmas rather than booking holidays. Clear winner is Alicante but to be expected, if it continues like that I'm sure that will turn into year round like similar operations at Exeter and Teeside. Hope this is of interest for the very few Norwich observers on here :p |
Seems to be a big demand for Malaga from the Eastern Daily Press site as well

Just a quick update for the Norwich Observers on Ryanair.
I won't give the numbers now for obvious reasons but Alicante and Faro continue to sell very well, in fact Faro has really caught up with Alicante. Although Alicante still ahead, really think this will go year round. Malta isn't really doing that well yet, I have seen complaints about the flight times etc, and tbf they really aren't great. Seems rather like Ryanair threw it in, in hope rather than expectation as they didn't have room to add what they wanted yet. Perhaps the documentary on Channel 5 tonight might help the sales :E Talking about Malta, when Ryanair first started operations at Exeter they started with Malta, Naples and Malaga. Now 5 years later, they have Alicante, Malaga, Faro and Mallorca. Something (all going well of course) of what I'd expect Norwich's Ryanair destinations to look like in a couple of years. |
Malta isn't a great destination in winter TBH - can get quite wet and stormy

Hi, A very quick sad question. As far as I can see the Airport uses 3 types of pushback tractors, 1 small (looks similar to a Hallam HE50) 2 medium (one look new and the other not so !!). Can anyone put a name and maybe a model to any of these please. The reason, I am completing a detailed rendition of the place for MSFS and would like to get it as detailed as poss. Already added those beautiful Aviramp boarding steps that everyone loves !!!

Gone are the dreadful flight times to Malta which arrived after midnight in Malta. Creating complaints with the locals, Ryanair possibly didn't quite expect people were used to TUI and its family friendly flight times.
Faro flights adjusted too. Mon MLA - NWI 14:00 - 16:30 NWI - MLA 17:05 - 21:25 Fri MLA - NWI 06:55 - 09:15 NWI - MLA 09:40 - 14:00 Mon FAO - NWI 14:15 - 17:15 NWI - FAO 18:05 - 21:05 Fri FAO - NWI 12:50 - 15:50 NWI - FAO 16:20 - 19:20 Mon ALC - NWI 08:30 - 10:10 NWI - ALC 10:35 - 14:15 Fri ALC - NWI 15:00 - 16:40 NWI - ALC 17:05 - 20:45 |
Just for the few Norwich Observers as we approach the launch of the Ryanair services from April 1st with just 3 weeks to go.
As I know the rough figures i will just share them for the first 3 set of departures over the easter holidays. 1st April Alicante - 155 Faro - 173 Malta - 135 5th April Alicante - 130 Malta - 150 Faro - 155 8th April Alicante - 155 Faro - 130 Malta - 140 Certainly no disaster on any of those with decent bookings for a new airline and new routes for the airport. I'd probably say if this was a years time these would be closer to the fully booked mark as word of mouth and people realise that Ryanair are at NWI. Going forward there is the post easter and late April dip in bookings before things really take off into May onwards, Faro is very well booked sometimes more so than Alicante, and since the flight times changed Malta has really surged with new bookings. Certainly very positive and hopefully Ryanair can have a little patience we see one or 2 more sun routes in the future. |
