Dedicated Freight Services from Gla
A freight forwarder told me back in 2009 that 70% of their "air freight" went south by road to the London airports for onward air freight. I don't suppose this ratio has changed much but I was wondering if Glasgow has any pure air freight services currently?
Thanks

Yes, Embraer 120 to STN operated by Swiftair and ASL Ireland (Air Contractors) ATR to CDG via Newcastle. Both operate 4x weekly on behalf of FedEx.

Korean Air will operate 3 charter flights to Glasgow in August, using A330's. Further flights are expected to be added in summer 2017.

Korea? where did that come from? From little acorns I suppose especially with commitment for more. Could follow a similar model to China BHX flights initially. I hope theyre not disappointed when they land!
Doubt they will be bookable outbound.

I suspect that the tours will either arrive LHR dept Glasgow or vice versa. That way the first flight back to Seoul and last flight to Glasgow will not be empty. Also wonder if connection to the surrounding area for Korean companies I.e. Doosan Babcock may have swayed in Glasgow's favour. Lots of Doosan executives enjoy a bit of golf I hear. That may also be a factor with Cameron House, Mar hall & Turnberry nearby with their excellent golf courses.

the spotters have been pestering GLA twitter account and by all accounts the flights will be open for UK outbound booking at some stage...
VS to Orlando started off with just a few flights.
Agree, Korean tourists better not think theyre landing in London or 'Edinboro' ... as much as theres nice scenery...
Great to see niche long haul!

Hang on, are we suggesting these people are so stupid they've booked a holiday to somewhere they don't know anything about? Randomly? I would imagine this will be a whole Scotland trip or coupled with something non London in England.
Birmingham saw China Southern inbound last year, it's a nice development to see.

Has the longstanding Air Transat A330 shared Calgary route been dropped from Glasgow? A relatives trip coming from Canada has been rerouted or offer of cancellation. Seems odd as a longstanding apparently successful recurring seasonal summer route.

Calgary Glasgow has always felt like a very niche service to me.
How a route like Calgary could survive considering how far away it is, its size (not very big) and a lack of connecting traffic is a mild surprise to me.
The return of AC and the establishment of Westjet has probably been a death sentence for the route.

When TCX operated the YYC flight for Canadian Affair it operated as a double drop with MAN.
Shame that TS is dropping the route.
