i totally agree with that. And it has been proven that NCL is the fastest growing airport in Europe. For all you who don't believe that then go onto NCL's website and check out the masterplan and our new £8.5 million control tower - possibly to cope with the 747 which could use the runaway more eaisilly and lets hope that we see the big companies eg Qantas, Singapore airlines etc. Also i don't know if you remember back about 3 or 4 years ago when we almost got flights to Durban and Port Elizabeth in SOUTH AFRICA!, well lets hope that we will get them sorts of flights. I have been told it take 10 hours give or take to get from NCL to South Africa

I Can't actually

It will be great when it happens but the crowds will be hectic
but then again the local economy could greatly benefit
6 and two 3's really! :)

yurp dont think ncl could take more than 2 at a time cos they can only take one on the promande and the hardstand can just take one
