PPRuNe Forums - NEWCASTLE - 2 (2024)

What do you consider to be the best outcome, a GSM NYC service ?:ugh:

Not at all ! Good luck to you scousers with your GSM EWR service (if indeed it can be sustained), but there are others that prefer not to settle for second best.:sad:

I really can not see this move as having an impact on NCL for a variety of reasons. The 752's have been acquired to enhance DL's long haul flexibility, and as such it is likely that they may be required for HNL as well as Europe. They may be used simply to release 762's on currrent thin routes or to re-enter thin routes previously dropped when operating an all 762 policy.
Given DL's current financial problems a more conservative policy is likely and additional 752 services if bound for the UK will end up at more established gateways.
I have seen nothing to indicate as to what portion of DL's 752 routes to Europe will operate from NYC i.e. JFK where they currently have limited onward connections, as opposed to their established ATL hub.
On a final note wasn't one of the 'excuses' cited by AA on their pull out, uncertainty over fuel costs.... at present they are at record highs !

can't find website please suply website for esperia aer
thanks

Sorry. Airline websites, which invariably sell airline tickets, are considered unpaid advertising on PPRuNe. We have several airlines who do pay for advertising with PPRuNe who object to such. Strenuously.

Suggest a google.

I've just had a look at the website.....very strange route structure. Does seem to include NCL - MSE and Strasbourg.

They will have to get a move on with the timetable etc. if services are to commence on 1st December.

It seems Thomsonfly while expanding their NCL operation are consolidating at the same time. 2 737's are rumoured to be based for the winter, with hopefully 757 a/c appearing for SSH flight (long way on a 737-300 with a stop if no 757!). capacity is being reduced in order to make it to the likes of TFS, LPA from NCL. Bit of an odd choice if it is true? Why take away the 757?

MSE and SXB seem two strange choices of new routes from NCL, hopefully they've done their research. however, Im thinking this could be a non starter. ;)

Heres the based plans for Thomsonfly at NCL for the winter, I'd say it's more likely to be a 1x 733 and 1x 752

Hi

Thomsonfly will be basing a B752 and a B738 at NCL this Winter, as the 738 will be required to fly the longer sectors such as TFS unlike this summer where the B733 is doing all the balearic and mainland spain runs.

Cheers

Kev

There's a few flights been missed out.
Check the winter timetable on airport website.

Thomsons are doing a lot of ski runs over the weekends

Just a qwick questions guys....

Are Excel Airways using the in-flight enternmant system that is fitted to the Finnair B757 that they are using in newcastle (Am on XLA428V on the 22nd.......low cost service....:ugh: )

Am only asking because last year when i flew on this very plane in the name on Air Scandic they did not use the IFE on my flight to LCA ( However the year before on a Air Scandic flight to FAO from MAN ( June 2004) on a Finnair B757 they did use the IFE system)

Many Thanks

Apparantly though, both flights on monday will be operated by 737-300 a/c, LPA and TFS! In that case what is the 757 a/c doing?

Re YYZ for summer 2007. Rumour has it Globespan have ended their contract with TS and have joined forces with Zoom and flyglobespan. Does this mean a new long haul carrier at NCL, abeilt on a charter basis?
