The early NCL rotation gets cancelled a fair bit,the afternoon gets cancelled as well but not quite as often. What is the reason or don't we know.It does not make the NCL service very reliable. It makes you wonder how many pax going over to BRS to get the Easy jet flight to NCL.
Eastern do seem to reliability issues of late. With them operating the route i can't see them growing it. Ideally Flybe would take it over and use the route as a basis to base a 4th aircraft but going from 11 weekly J41s to probably 12 weekly E175s is a big jump in capacity.
Passengers going to use the Easyjet service aren't going to use Eastern as their prices are to high. They are after different types of passengers as airlines.
easyJet's crazy (from a passenger's perspective) scheduling between Bristol and Newcastle isn't a lot of help to local passengers let alone those from further afield. This summer the only morning departures are on Mondays and Fridays at 0700 and on Saturdays at 0835. In the winter it gets worse with the only morning departure on Mondays at 0800. Yet on some days easyJet has three rotations all in the afternoon or evening. It's been like this for several years.
