NCL is really making good progress with its traffic......must be one of the few airports where IT pax are also on the increase.

Do you ever see any figures on cargo.....is that on the rise too?

Sharm-el-Sheikh.......this and other exotic destinations apart from Greece/Turkey/Canary Islands must point the way to the IT operators future with lo-cost airlines eating into their traditional short haul operations every year.
