Please put your name forward if you think that Newcastle Airport should get a Newark schedule from Continental.

To be honest with you I find it difficult to see NCL sustaining an EWR service, especially with the established services from MAN and GLA and the more recent one from EDI.

I guess I’m kinda sceptical about a Continental service from EWR to NCL mainly because of load-factors. With industry reducing its presence in the North East surely there wont be that much of a market for the business traveller (baring in mind we’re kinda close to MAN and have the BA connections from LHR and LGW) leaving sun-seekers heading to say Florida using the NCL-EWR leg before connecting to other CO flights for their final destination. Plus we have news of FCA starting charter ops with what will include seat-only sales to Sanford together with existing TCX and SCY services across the pond…
CO will know what they’re doing though and I’d personally love to see a 752 head to NCL from across the pond on a regular basis…
