NCL Newcastle

How deep the NCL board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from NCL. This reads the same 88 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 52of the 88 destinations are flown by one airline
• 65destinations run less than once a day
• 5destinations have four or more departures a day
• 43.2%of the destinations name Jet2, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at NCL

34 airlines appear on the NCL board and they do not hold it evenly. Jet2 is on 38 of the 88 destinations, 43.2 per cent of them, and on 9 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 40.4 of the 81.6 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is TUI Airways on 31 destinations. 24 of the 34 airlines at NCL appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at NCL: one airline on 43.2 per cent of the destinations and the other 56.8 per cent spread across 33 airlines. A cancellation inside the Jet2 network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 50 destinations Jet2 does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the NCL board is daily

Of the 88 destinations, 23 are flown at least once a day and 65 are not, 27 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the NCL board is flown 3 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: NCL to Venice (VCE) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 25 of the 81.6 departures a day, 30.6 per cent of the whole board. With 73.9 per cent of the 88 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of NCL where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 37 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from NCL

The desk holds the return direction for 50 of the 88 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On five of them the return into NCL runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Glasgow (GLA) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back, Sharm el Sheikh (SSH) at 0.57 out a day against 0.29 back and Burgas (BOJ) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back.

It runs the other way as well: Kerkyra Island (CFU) files 1.2 a day back into NCL against 0.86 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at NCL

NCL keeps Europe/London time, three hours behind Dubai in summer and four hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 06:00 at NCL, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for six hours. A customs question raised in the last three hours of the Dubai afternoon reaches nobody at NCL until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at NCL

8 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from NCL that lands inside it leaves around 20:44, on a modelled block of 1h 16m. Into London (LHR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from NCL that lands inside it leaves around 22:24, on a modelled block of 1h 06m. Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from NCL that lands inside it leaves around 21:26, on a modelled block of 1h 34m. Those three departure times out of NCL are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where NCL turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the United Kingdom country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 26 airport pair pages that start or end at NCL, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Newcastle to Dublin (DUB), Newcastle to Palma De Mallorca (PMI) and Newcastle to Alicante (ALC).

Six courier postings name NCL as the airport a courier here flies from: Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and Middlesbrough.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with NCL already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 88 destinations above.
