To my initial comment ' Newcastle won't get a US flight outside the Newark and Orlando charter flights'

If that makes things clearer.

I think you miss my point about business cargo. The Emirates flight accounts for a massive massive proportion of cargo handled at Newcastle, if it wasn't for the huge cargo amounts, Newcastle would still be receiving an old A330 kit and at the bottom of the line.

Whereas the fairly antiquated 767 that Thomson use won't carry any business cargo at all so is of little value
