Comment / Still to be painted into the latest KLM livery, PH-BTE arrives at Newcastle with it's beacon flashing on the first flight of the day from Amsterdam. This series -306 was delivered in March 1993.

Comment / Ever present, G-THOO continues to ply her trade out of Newcastle...

Comment / The KLM957 on final for runway 25 with some vortices running off the flaps.

Comment / After arriving from Gatwick an hour or so earlier, G-CELX is on the move again to Bergen.

Comment / Thomsonfly recruited G-THOO early on this year, and has been a regular at Newcastle since. She is a comparatively young 737 Classic series, delivered to easyJet as G-EZYK in 1998, before joining SkyEurope as HA-LKT in 2005. I've now photographed her in all three identities… follow the links!

Comment / Jet2 have really ramped up their Newcastle base during 2007, with two 737s and two 757s stationed during the summer season. Boeing 737-377 G-CELX has been around of late, and is seen here arriving in bright sunshine on one of the airline's thrice daily rotations from London Gatwick.

Comment / After some four years on lease to Flyglobespan, G-CELR returned to service with Jet2 during the spring earlier this year. She was originally delivered to Channel Express in 2001, but was assigned to Flyglobespan in the spring of 2003 as one of the new carrier's launch aircraft. It seems Jet2 are yet to find time for her to visit the paint shop - she's still flying in a basic Flyglobespan scheme with Jet2 titles.

Comment / Arriving against a clear blue sky, Norwegian's LN-KKY is painted up in this bold black and yellow livery, advertising Acta, a Norwegian financial services company. She was one of the later 737 classics built, first delivered to Varig as PP-VPZ in 1998. She joined Norwegian in July last year.

Comment / This 737 is no stranger to Stansted; she was once based here as G-IGOS with the late Go Fly. She has now emigrated to more northern latitudes, and flies in a non-standard scheme with titles to the effect of "the most flexible way to travel". Presumably a piece of advertising for Norwegian itself?

Comment / After some persistent rumours, it seems that Air Berlin are indeed not continuing their domestic services from Stansted into the winter season. Perhaps existing competition and the recent hike in Stansted landing fees have taken their toll? This Boeing 737-300 is another ex. DBA aircraft now in Air Berlin colours. Note the stripes above and below the window line...

Comment / Titan added a pair of ex. Falcon Air Boeing 737s to its fleet a few months ago, the second of which was G-POWC. The first was G-ZAPZ, although this has not yet received the Titan livery.
