Trust me, I know where Faro is and where Faroe is. I was having a go at the BBC for their shocking journalism.

It always did show Faroe in the Faroe Islands, but that's a long way from Faro. The map also showed the Canaries as a separate destination to Tenerife South. It was a hopeless piece of work.

Assuming Easyjet only operates to BRISTOL, BELFAST. and NICE in Summer 21 the balance of routes not covered by other operators would be ....BARCELONA, SPLIT, GENEVA and JERSEY, all of which, under normal non Covid 19 conditions, would quickly find replacement operators.

That was my point as well. Anyway, more serious issues at NCL than BBC's and Chris's geographical inaccuracy.

From the Chron:
"Talks are under way with airlines over taking on the international flights axed by easyJet from Newcastle International Airport.
Newcastle Airport confirmed it is in discussions with other airlines to establish their interest in regards to the impacted destinations.A spokeswoman said: "Over 80% of the international destinations affected are already served by our existing airline partners and we will continue discussions regarding their interest in the other impacted destinations."

Larger a/c is a problem for Jersey. When Newcastle Falcons chartered a Boeing 737-800 to Jersey this spring they had to leave a lot of the intended passengers in Newcastle. Loganair more likely.

Can't see Jet2 using Boeing 737-800 on a Newcastle - Jersey route. It could done on a w-leg using a Leeds based Boeing 737-300 though.
I suspect Loganair will most likely pick up the route.

I suspect Loganair or Blue island as already said would be interesting in filling the hole for Jersey.
Jet2 already fly to BCN, NCE and GVA from other UK bases so would potentially be a candidate for those routes, with BCN and NCE probably fitting quite well into their city breaks brand.
The remainder of the capacity to places like ALC, AGP etc would probably in normal times ended up being divided up between TUI, Jet2 and maybe Ryanair, but at the present time there probably isn’t the demand for these airlines to fill their already scheduled flights so I can’t see them adding any more capacity.

Thoughts about Emirates..see Glasgow have 2/3 freight only flights every week.
I thought the Newcastle flight was always jam packed with freight..wonder why no flights through there? Is it all going to Glasgow?

Guess. it's where the freight originates depends on their airport of choice. EK move a lot of freight by road to the airport with the available capacity. Maybe, too little local originating freight to road haul the necessary volume to create a full hold from NCL at present.
