With sadness, Air 2000 will be closing their NCL base in the near future. All staff with exception of flight crew have been given their notice.
On a related topic, its rumoured that JMC will shut their Luton, Cardiff and Bristol bases. I will try and post info as soon as Ive heard more.
Go-Fly started twice daily NCL-STN this week using Boeing 737-300s.
BA now serve NCL-LHR 7 Daily with more 757s operating on the route again.
BAOG (BA Operations Gatwick) are serving NCL-LGW 5 Daily with 4 RJ100s and a single Boeing 737-300.
More news when available.

RE: Newcastle news
yep – i checked their website and not much is up at the moment dbut it does say there will b flights next summer!

RE: Newcastle news
I’ve heard SCY will be back operating the 757 next summer again, with no flights on the A300?
The NCL Airport website shows a TCX flight to Sanford operating Thursday back on Friday, as well as a MON flight in/out on a Saturday.
Other new flights are to Volos, Greece with flights operating via Skiathos on a Friday (Kosmar have this down as a Scandic flight).

RE: Newcastle news
Rumours were that scandic was packing up full stop- it’s A300s are going shortly

RE: Newcastle news
TCX won’t be doing Orlandos out of Newcastle, just the standard Med stuff.
By: Newcastle757 - 18th November 2002 at 23:32
RE: Newcastle news
Looks likely that Excel will base an a/c at NCL next summer (in place of Air Scandic or in addition?)
easyJet routes likely to be AMS,GVA,CDG or BCN.
New summer routes to Bastia, Rimini, Pisa, Chania.
Monarch and TCX operating the Orlando flights ( not sure if BY also, yet).
Anyone know anything else?

RE: Newcastle news
JMC’s Newcastle operation for 2003 will be the same as 2002 (except for the name change to Thomas Cook).

RE: Newcastle news
Well I could give you news about Newcastle’s movements, but I fear they’d do you no good since it would be Newcastle NSW Australia 😛 And I don’t think easyjet would ever get there somehow :+

RE: Newcastle News
They are a company offering low-cost seats on other airlines such as Air Scandic, Air Atlanta etc.
They offer seats on flights from MAN and NCL to AGP and TFS.
Hope that helps.

RE: Newcastle News
Norweigan Air Shuttle will continue NCL-SVG on their own from 7th January. Flights operate twice daily by Fokker 50. So NCL-SVG will be served 3 daily. Rumours are running around about a potential LH flight to FRA or MUC, and with DUS going to a CRJ-700. We will have to wait and see.
Today Go increased frequency to 3 Daily on the NCL-STN route.

RE: Newcastle News
Wideroe start NCL-SVG Jan 7th taking over Braathens.
Go-fly increase frequency on NCL-STN to 3 daily from 21st december, with rumours of 4 daily in Spring. BA will replace DH8-300 on routes to DUB and ORK with ERJ145 next summer.

RE: Newcastle News
British European have been operating NCL-JER charters for the last 2 summers 😉
There has been rmours swirling that Norweigan Air Shuttle will coninue NCL-SVG, but with their own code and not that of Braathens. However Ive also heard that Wideroe could begin services on NCL-SVG.:-)

RE: Newcastle News
British Euorpean use all the old Jersey European routes they got when they merged. They use:
CRJ-200’s,
Bae 146 100 -> 300’s ‘Wisper Jets’
Dash 8 Q200 ->400
Andrew M, P.S. They have the best food!!

RE: Newcastle News
Can i just add that BE has taken over the NCL-BRU route for a few weeks and then handing it back to Delta Air Transport while they get over this time where their parent company no longer exists.
