Air Wales to start GLA

[johnwalton]

Was just having a look at the new version of the Newcastle Airport website, and in the timetables section (http://www.newcastleinternational.co.uk//DestinationsMap.aspx) it shows Air Wales as having 3 destinations, CWL, PLH and GLA.

The GLA times are shown as:

6G1850 Glasgow 09:40 10:40 (outbound)
6G1850 Glasgow 14:40 15:40 (outbound)
6G1851 Glasgow 16:10 17:10 (inbound)

and there's now no mention of Liverpool. Nothing on the Air Wales website about it though, an announcement to follow?

The CWL times are shown as:

6G1851 Cardiff 17:40 19:00 (outbound)
6G1850 Cardiff 07:50 09:10 (inbound)
6G1850 Cardiff 12:50 14:10 (inbound)

and PLH times are shown as:

6G1851 Plymouth 17:40 20:00 (outbound)
6G1850 Plymouth 07:00 09:10 (inbound)
6G1850 Plymouth 11:50 12:20 (inbound)

I'm guessing thath 6G1850 runs Mon-Fri at the early times and the later times are for a Sunday rotation, and 6G1851 will just run Mon-Fri, though the website doesn't actually state days of operation.

Anyone got any ideas?

Going on their previous record will probably end up as a twice weekly service to Guernsey!!!

That's interesting. Originally AirWales were going to operate Plymouth - Cardiff - Liverpool - Newcastle - Glasgow. subsequently Glasgow never happened and as you will be aware, Liverpool was dropped after a few weeks.

I hope this is up to date information of the website. I have had a look at the new Newcastle website and note that a lot of scheduled routes are not even covered...i.e. Belfast City, Palma, Nice and more. The times quoted don't quote days of operation, period etc....quite useless. It was much better before.

I'm often dismayed at the poor presentation standards of schedule information on airport websites, and to some extent by some airlines too, but I have to say this one really is up there with the worst of them. Look at the Easyjet schedule to Stansted, which has different times for weekdays and weekends !

Even worse, have a look at the charters to Palma, which are on a weekly basis. It shows the times but not the days of the week they operate ! Oh and in North America there's a new airport they operate to. It's called "Florida" (which one ? Orlando ? Sanford ? Miami ?) No further detail is given, although there are precise times.

What it shows is that not only does the website designer have no idea about schedule presentation, but that nobody at the airport end could be bothered to check it when the work was done.

Air Wales are not intending flying GLA from NCL - the NCL website is wrong.

[skyrabbit]

As Group Captain states....Air Wales are not planning to operate NCL-GLA.

Last year it was planned that Air Wales would operate Glasgow-Galway. This service was to be operated using the a/c that had operated into NCL from CWL with the sector from NCL to GLA being a positioning flight. It was later decided that tickets would be made available between NCL and GLA.

For a number of reasons the GLA-GWY service was not started so the NCL-GLA route became unnecessary.

However.........following the recently announced alliance with bmibaby, Air Wales will be operating CWL-PIK starting 28th March.

Hope this removes any confusion.

Rabbs :ok:

It's a shame that 6g decided that the positioning ATR was not necessary . These are 2 very important business and conference where some high paying passengers are queueing up for a service to be run - especially from GLA intl - a very good route I think for a small aircraft like a 42 to run .
A possible route for the future perhaps ?

Its also a shame that 6g decided to pull out of the GWY-GLA . A few days after 6g announced in a press conference its intentions, Aer Arran decided also to operate . After A Wales pulling out , Aer Arran decided in their usual style to also abandon their service .

RE look our , 6g is expanding at a fast rate especially with this marketing allicance i hear of with BMIBaby. If the Irish Government was to withdraw the highly subsidised routes to Arran then I doubt they could pull out of a number of irish domestic routes .
Any views anyone ?

From what I can gather it seems Loganair have just announced GLA/GWY....having not fired a shot
