You’re right there like Skyhigh, Eastern don’t operate out of Newcastle on Saturdays, but on Sunday evenings, the flights begin again. It’s more of a business route than a tourist route.

Guys come on, its a bank holiday in England today and by posting this thread you are reading way 2 much into T3! On previous bank holidays they have cancelled a great deal of their flights. The services between BHX and NCL are really only needed on working days, its not a popular tourist route! They haven’t gone bust, I suspect its just not profitable to operate on a bank holiday, when their airline is mainly used by business travellers!

I too saw this, I think the Eastern flights from NCL to BHX and Inverness were cancelled, whereas the Isle Of Man flights were running as usual. I can only think like you say that it is because of the lack of business travellers on a bank holiday.

I heard its because its a bank holiday, and since T3 is mostly a business person carrying airline, then not 2 many people would be flying on them.

Maybe because of the Bank Holiday. There is an Eastern flight due in from LBA shortly.
