Air 2000 commenced operations with a Boeing 757 from Manchester to Malaga flight on April 11 1987. Glasgow operations commenced on 01 June 1988 with a flight to Larnaca, Cyprus.
Air 2000 originally focused on regional operations out of Glasgow and Manchester. The first two Boeing 757s were G-OOOA and G-OOOB which were both delivered before the airline's launch in April 1987. The Boeing 757 fleet doubled in 1988 with one aircraft being based at London Gatwick as well as one at Glasgow.
Air 2000 started operations at London Gatwick in April 1988 with the new entrant using the North Terminal.
Delta always used the gates at London Gatwick North Terminal pier 4, as did Emirates.
