Newcastle Airport - the future

[Big Jeff]

Only 2 arrivals slated for today and only 2 departures - a BA flight is leaving now 13.15.

Could Newcastle cease to be a proper international airport and just be a regional one?

Easyjet have already left.

I doubt it. Even if the 'new normal' is different, I still think it will be catering to large numbers of people going on holiday. It is / was a bit of a poor excuse for an international airport anyway. Choice of destinations has always been a bit crap.

Only 2 being slated, surely that’s 2 too many. What had they done wrong ?

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

The destinations suit what the locals fancy doing. Benidorm, Bulgaria, Bodrum etc. Crap package holiday places.

It’s almost as if people aren’t travelling right now

whilst this year won’t be a good one for international travel it will bounce back.

What ever that is today
Grant schnapps will have it under control

Even Heathrow is quiet at this precise moment, grey empty sky.

Thats the issue - if the airlines leave we may need to go to Manchester for anywhere decent

You generally have to do that anyway

Or they may come back. If there is demand they will

Emirates Dubai flight using Teeside instead of Newcastle when things return according to my HP.

easyjet will be back when things get back to normal and there's a profit to be made.

i thought you were a 'local' now?

Will probably be nice if we have to travel to Manchester or up Scotland rather than going to Ponteland to be greeted by black and white stripes all over from big fat blokes letting the Spanish locals and other tourists know they’re jawdees

Newcastle charge extortionate landing fees given not many people come here as tourists and it’s normally business or returning holiday folk.

That’s why easyJet have left and once the travel industry starts recouping the losses of the pandemic, I expect Jet2 will also up-sticks. After all, their hub is only a couple of hours away at Leeds Bradford.

At that point NCL will either cease to be an airport of any significance or will reduce their landing fees and the airlines will come back.
