I cant see first choice setting up base again. it would cost them more money rather than asking TCX to bring a third instead.
FCA are bring a third aircraft to BRS instead of TCX bring 1 aircraft.

With regard to JFK, you guys have got to get real, it's not gonna happen as long as the conditions AA stated for cancelling still exist.
South side, off Golf, will start with 3 stands all capable of parking up to B738. Normally they will house the JEM 748 plus the two J2 a/c, which will be towed North side each morning. Should be operational by end of May.
Night stoppers this summer;
6 x Easy
2 x TCX
1 x MYT
3 x TOM (2X B752 1X B733)
3 x Excel (1xB734, 2xB752 Finnair/Flyjet)
2 x J2
4 x EZE (3xJS41 + 1x D328)
1 x 748
2 x BA LL/KK
1 x KLM
1 x BZH (Airfrance)
=26 a/c with 29 stands!

I am sorry but I think you will find FJE are contracted to Excel,for the next three years! Excel are also operating their own B734 and wet leasing the Finair B752 again, in years gone by Airscan only ever operated the Finair 75 for Excel!

Alot of charter flights have seats bought by a number of different tour operators, FJE whilst operating for Excel don't just have say Libra holidays, they also operate for Freedom flights, Olympic, Kosmar and Airtours! All of which will have deals with Excel, who charter the aircraft.

Was wondering weather if anyone has more information about these proposed new long haul services starting then. Where to exactly(destinations), times of day, operator, and aircraft.
I know it is probably just rumors, but after all that is what this sit is all about, an I would love to know more.
Thanks

GrahamK indeed TOM are continuing their loco programme through the winter, as 1 737 will be based alongside the normal 757. FUE will also be served for the first time by TOM and they will also operate the LYS, TRN, SZG and INN ski flights.
go-egnt if you look back on this thread you'll see some discussion on the rumoured long haul routes, but my guesses are possibly Cancun and Hurghada???

See the circus has lost another contract. HLX to go to swissport from the end of april
. Looks like its going to be a quiet summer. Nothing to do with the service though, its purley contractual i.e. cheaper to go next door
. Have swissport really got the staff and equipment to cope with what appears to be a very busy summer program
?

Now it looks to me like a contract has ended or they they now want to do their own thing, but TCX opening a base at BRS wont do FCA any favours. If FCA don't like this they could always take their NCL flying back off TCX.

The place isnt big enough for all these "bases" !
Which is why the Thomas Cook, Thomsonfly, Excel, MyTravel flights all go out empty 
Which is why Thomsonfly are adding a 3rd based a/c
Which is why FlyJet are now basing a 757 all year round
One suspects you may be jealous of the success that NCL is having at the moment

not jealous at all - I was born in wallsend and have very strong family connections with newcastle
what I am suggesting is that this airport sticks to what its good at - because it is good at what it did 5 yrs ago
All this playing "big airport", it really is cr@p, NCL is a regoinal, and they're trying too hard now - If you want to play big boys then get to MAN or EDI. Seriously Im a geordie through and through, but for goodness sake, leave out the tripe, its plain stupid

I disagree, Im a geordie myself, i used to work in swissport/grounstar check in from 2001 onwards, and in the last 5yrs the growth has been unreal! i remember sitting checking in ba flights and there was only really the odd gill air, air france and KLM going out at the same time. the odd charter of course in the summer.
i went back to check-in in 2004 for 6 months between jobs and i couldnt believe how much its changed.
Personally i think they are spending too much money on shops where i think it would be better spent on a new terminal, or adding airbridges to the existing 2!!!
I work out of MAN now for a fair sized airline that has just opened up a base in NCL, and im telling you i would have no problems transfering home, infact have toyed with the idea many times
Keep going NCL!!! i speak for many of us when i say im dead proud of the growth of the north east
Oh and well done to Swissport for handling so many airlines, when i was there circusair held the majority of airlines. Seems they have all experienced circusairs appauling customer service skills and switched!

See your still biting CentreFix
CrewBoi - some good points there mate, especially what your saying about the shops and 2 airbridges. This is more what I meant - they need to get the basics in place before they expand like they have
