NTL - New routes
 

NTL seems to be making an big deal out of an new route to be launch one Monday, any ideas?

Maybe AKL?

Not many other options heading that way ;)

Looks more like Fiji direction.

ADELAIDE!!!

Striped pussycat round 2?

........Boulia

......Cessnock

When is the runway extension complete? Might be widebody, SE Asia.

JQ ADL-NTL would fit
 

There's a fair bit of slack in JQs ADL schedule, so it may well be ADL-NTL.

For the northern winter, a few things switch around. The daily ADL-OOL will fly OOL-ADL-OOL (currently it flies ADL-OOL-ADL), and the three per week ADL-HBA will fly ADL-HBA-ADL (currently it flies MEL-HBA-ADL-HBA-MEL).

So you have aircraft available in the afternoon four days a week for ADL-NTL on the days the ADL-HBA doesn't run; you also have an aircraft available in the morning four days a week for ADL-NTL when the ADL-MCY doesn't run.

Don’t know if NAPL’s airport services are ready for widebodies (though this could obviously change!). My moneys on FJ 738s to NFFN.

You might be right about FJ 738s to NFFN. Anyway, looks like it's not Adelaide or Auckland.

Newcastle Airport

Can you guess where our next stop is?
Here’s a clue: when NTL is your point A, beaches and sunshine are at your point B.

Well if JQ have anything to do with it, it’ll be NTL - BLI.....

Been out of the loop for a while -when did it change from Williamtown to be Newcastle? Do the knucks talk to Willy Tower or Newcastle Tower?

Anyway, the best bet for beaches and sunshine is Sunny Coast.

When did Newcastle get customs and international departure lounges put in?

Hopefully the service to Bellingham will include a Hawaii stopover!:}

Could it be Perth?

Busselton ! Hahaha apparently they are getting daily services to MEL (so their Mayor thinks LOL)

Newcastle Airport international travel facilities unveiled
August 25 2017 Nick Bielby

Newcastle Airport will officially open its new international arrivals and departure facilities on Friday, in a major step towards offering overseas flights from the Williamtown transport hub. NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance will unveil the new $1.6 million facilities.

Security and IT equipment, passenger screening technology and furniture for border security agencies are among the upgrades.

While it’s understood Newcastle Airport has no imminent announcements about international routes from the Hunter, CEO Peter Cock said the upgrades meant the airport was “one step closer to offering direct international services”.

“I know our region is passionate about travel and there is an incredible desire for international travel,” Dr Cock said. “I know, because I’m asked almost every day that you want to be able to fly overseas from your local airport. I can assure you that my team and I are working tirelessly behind the scenes to make this a reality – our region certainly deserves to be able to fly to more destinations from their local airport. The completion of this project is incredibly exciting for our region. We deserve to have this infrastructure and we deserve to have direct international flights to our region. We’ve delivered the first to you and I assure you we’re working hard to deliver the latter too.”

NAPL propoganda seems to be emphasising ‘new’ quite a bit, New Cal will likely be a top contender too!

“NEW” Zealand.... who knows, perhaps the duck is going to Tamworth
