Latest from GS. flights to SFB will be using 767 and 757. GS have refused to confirm the source of the 757 and as yet there are no confirmed agreements with any leasing agents with GS for them to aquire 757's. The deal with Iceland Air went pear shaped and fell through so it wont be theirs, there is a possiblity it could be Excel Airways but that hasn't been confirmed. If the do end up with a 757, it will seriously impact the sched as that aircraft wont make it across the pond in a single hop so the direct flight option goes out the window.

The only 767'sGS are left with are leased from NEOS. These are ex KLM aircraft and were refitted on Greensboro to a single calss, 280 seats so would have to be refitted again to offer 3 class layout. thats a lot of dosh to put out on a short term lease..

GS have refused to confirm anything. Cant confirm aircraft, cant confirm seating, Cant guarantee 50" or even 38" seat pitch at this time, cant confirm booking wont be changed or even cancelled... this simply isn't good enough.
