NEWCASTLE is to become the latest domestic city to be connected to LCY with the introduction of a four times daily service to the east London airport (as predicted in ABTN 10 October). The operation starts on Monday 30 January and will be operated by a single class Saab 2000. On offer during the 70 - minute flight will be snacks, a complimentary bar and champagne. Early morning passengers on the 0705 departure could arrive at the Bank of England well before 0900 using the DLR link (which should be well open by then). Connections can also be made to European mainland points not served directly from Newcastle. Newcastle city centre is also joined to the airport in 25 minutes by the Metro with up to six trains per hour.
