I would think Glasgow and Edinburgh are well placed. There's lots if talk about a new easyJet base at GLA, a PIA service to Faisalabad and new Transatlantic flights into EDI - COA are starting next year. Business traffic is booming at Edinburgh. I think its only a matter of time before it overtakes GLA as Scotlands busiest airport but both look like strong performers.

I heard the CPH route was doing very well so why is there a chance that Brymon might drop it?? The Belfast doesn't really surprise me, I hear Gill are thumping them on that route now but I aint completly sure about that.

Hi everyone
Whilst I think it is great that foreign airlines have at last realised that there are people living North of Birmingham, and have added news services to MAN, and other airports, I think the future of expanded pax services really exists in MAN.
Perhaps MAN doesn't count, as you did say everything North of MAN, but I think that if we are going to be realistic, and exclude London, then I'll have to be honest and say that I don't see exponential expansion in terms of International airlines (and hence pax traffic) at airports such as NCL, LPL, LBD and others.
It's brilliant that GO and Easy have started up at some of these airports, but I think this is mostly low-yield short-haul traffic, which doesn't generate pax traffic to the same scale as International airlines would, if they started flying into NCL, EDI.
Basically, I think either the populations of these towns and cities are not large enough to (in the airlines' opinion) warrant flying, lets say, a QF 744 into NCL 3x a week; or that there is not a high enough proportion of the population wishing to pay premium fares.
In London & Manchester, there are extremely high numbers of people wishing to fly Business or First, and the airlines love this.
But I may be wrong!
I think if we are just talking about any increase in pax traffic, I would put my money on EDI.

Hi Billy
I'm sorry to ask, but from where do you have the information that the NCL-CPH route will go. AFAIK the route is doing quite well with an increasing number of passengers.

I have tried looking up oag and according to that the CPH service is still operating after 1 May.
BTW Where do you actually work? I might have to start a post about it, see what guesses we get.

Hey Guys,
what about the CDG-NCL flight operated by Gill Aiways in Air France colours? Does it go well or is there a possibility for Air France to drop this route. I hope they won't as I need to go to Newcastle in the next few months and I am an Air France frequent flyer.

The NCL-CDG route is doing very well and there is more chance of it being upgraded to AF mainline a/c than dropped. Enjoy your visit to NCL and I hope you enjoy yourself in the airport. If you want anything to know about NCL just ask as I am a regular traveller through the airport.

The dash 8 released by the loss of the BFS/CPH service will be BRS-based and be used as a back-up to cover for those punctuality problems.
CO is looking good for EDI, but CO really want to see how the STN service performs. Early indications are that bookings are good. For airlines to start any regional services, routes need to perform well in other markets. That is why the loss of CHP @NCL is not good news for possible new routes north of MAN.

Hi again Billy
I have just checked Amadeus and according to the information there, the NCL-CPH service is still operating after the 1st of May. I also checked the BA website and it seems like it's still possible to book a flight on NCL-CPH after May.
My sources Billy - Different inside persons at Copenhagen Airport and from them I haven't heard anything about Brymon dropping the CPH service
Please note that I'm not saying that you're wrong or I'm right! I just provide the informations I have about this issue...

Humberside is growing faster than ever- 4 new holiday destinations this year- and many scheduled, eastern airways, the resident airline is looking at buying the saab 340 and hopes to open up Scandanavia destinations from Humberside. it has also been rumoured that there will be an AIH A320 and a BY757 or 737 based there over summer too.Plus jmc has started operating here to Majorca- which now means there are 7 flights a week to Majorca over Summer.

The news is pretty fresh. Keep checking the CRS, or try calling BA if you really want confirmation.
I really think that this Scandinavian connection with NCL is a little over-exaggerated. NCL is trying to get a BCN service for all of those suppliers etc at Nissan. I assume that now renault own Nissan, the CDG service will be doing extremely well.

I think the to Belfast Airports are in good shape. More and more people are travelling over to mainland GB and europe and with the reductions in airline ticket prices, fewer people could be bothered taking the ferry and driving. Also, Befast City is about to open its new passenger terminal, which will have about twice the capcity of teh ol one and will be able to take A321s, and passenger numbers for bother airports have been rising steadily so the future is looking good for them.

I have put an e-mail address on my profile that should work but here it is just for you: GKirk27@hotmail.com
I think the parental restrictions on aol may have prevented the last e-mail u tried to send, damn thing.
So with BRY coming off the NCL-CPH route , do you think there is any chance bmi could take over the route as its profitable or maybe even SAS take-over again.
Also, NCL are trying to get BCN? Maybe they should try to get easyJet to open up some routes from NCL as with all the Geordies in Northern Spain Im sure that would fill a 737 as with all the tourists and Nissan workers etc. What do you think?

Ok, so a few of you say EDI has the best chance ( when not including MAN) so do you think charter traffic will grow at EDI, or will BAA try to keep most charters at GLA? If there is an increse in charter traffic at EDI, do you think this will affect NCL in any way?
Anyone know of any new routes opening at any of the Northern airports?

25 LBA: Maybe not quite north of MAN but what about Finningley? Not an airport yet, but I can see it happening.
26 GKirk: Finningley, thats near Doncaster, right? Well if MAN, LBA and HUY get their way I dont think it will be built im afraid.
27 Fax: Finningley will go through i believe, but it will end up being a charter airport. I can't see US traffic or far east airlines wanting to serve Donnie
