I feel that Flyglobespan have ruined the Transatlantic routes from Knock. Technical problems can happen to anyone and so can disruptions caused by security issues but they have really made no attempt to try and get another aircraft in place since then.
These are brand new routes out of Knock and you need to make a special effort in order to get an established reputation if people are going to leave other carriers and airports to try you out.
There has been so much negetive publicity from this so early into the program i can't really see the routes recovering form it. It seems a bit like Flyglobespan don't want to operate there anymore.

Knock airport will find it hard to find another carrier to operate to NYC and Bos when Flyglobespan pull the plug, and even if they do the public will be very sceptical about flying transatlintic into the airport again.
