Forgive me for being daft, is this the new airport at jebel ali? or is it just a new terminal at the current airport?

The Dean

The latter.

The former will come latter.

I mean later.

Terminal Three is only a few minutes walk from Terminal One. In case you didn't know, Terminal Two is on the Sharjah side of the airport, near the Free Zone. Don't be surprised if the Jebel Ali Airport never gets completed as they will surely run out of cash if they keep building everywhere.

Spugsy

as long as the terminal I use is near me I'll be a happy lad.

Sandboy

apart from the noise obviously !

flights to Ponteland use terminal 3 from today

Spugsy

yeah that;s why I'm asking, but its still basically the same airport,

plus I've been talking to a lad who tells me they may be stopping the Toon flights and there isn;t much call for them, they're never full up.

I hope not that will be the end of me ever going home!

runway built for Jebel Ali, it is pretty much finished

Spugsy

aye it'll mean dxb-heathrow-toon, thats 11 hours rather than a straight 7 to the motherland.

Sandboy can piss off mind, I don't remember seeing an airport at Sunderland?? I'm going to have a word and get him banned from the Toon....

Blue Cat

there is that poxy landing strip near Nissan, for tiny little planes, that should do him

Dubai - Amsterdam - the Toon is quicker

Sandboy

Sunderland had an airport, newcastle never has had - FACT and anyhoo I'm from Gatesheed

you only need to mention a cathedral to complete my bitter skunk bingo card

Spugsy

I am as well, it was all geordies when I was a lad....

Spugsy

what what? whats that big thing in ponteland then?

Inselaffen

bloody glory hunter!

There used to be - I went to see a Vulcan bomber on display there.

I'd heard the opposite about flights to Newcastle from an Emirates pilot.
