    Great news, having just moved less than a mile from Teesside!

    Can you keep us informed of any changes to ETA?

    Thanks

    It would be interesting if Boeing did buy back and preserve G-MONB, but all 14 earlier examples are still in existence, so I’m sure preserving one of the first couple would be more significant for them.

    This is a shame. The Sterling name had a long history in Denmark through various incarnations.

    I was in Copenhagen a few weeks ago and saw plenty of their colourful aircraft coming and going.

    Any thoughts on what this will ultimately mean for their UK domestic network, or for bmibaby?

    Heard rumours that baby will be sold off or shut down.

    This is a shame for CVT, but probably inevitable given the planning decision.

    Do you think there was scope to survive in the shadow or Birmingham and East Midlands airports?

    Will the airport likely concentrate on cargo and other private movements now, or keep chasing the airlines for passenger flights?

    Anyone know when this was or what the aircraft registration is?

    Did anyone catch the registration of the aircraft in the show?

    I found it pretty interesting to watch.

    Have heard cynics say this is just a ploy to battle Jet2’s Cork route from Newcastle, as the flights run around the same times.

    Also heard it’s just a tester route – something to do with the planes they don’t need over the winter.

    Still, I might try it out! 😀

    They had a similar offer on the other week with £1 fares including taxes. Some of those fares are still available too it seems. You’ve just got to search around a bit.

    It seems there are less of these 0.00 around, and a few restrictive blackout periods.

    Is there any specific threat to flights, or BA? Or is this just a response by the airline saying ‘sort out your country’s security’?

    There was talks of them restarting. Any news yet?

    It seems inevitable with any air crash that you get an eyewitness account of the plane being on fire in the air before it crashed.

    Hope the reason behind this sudden tragedy is quickly found tho!

    Also completed mine a few months ago. Wasn’t my favourite one, I tell you that.

    Also affecting Futura Gael, and apparently Flyant has also ceased operations.

    Its just word of mouth really, over the internet mainly. I think some of us ought to get some sort of news/movements group going – theres quite a few of us from NCL on here now.
