Sounds promising on the Glasgow front considering its only 2 weeks off the ground.

As regards pax figures for this year knock is looking at 700k with around 600k scheduled and 90k caharter. These figures are based on current services and will only grow.

The us flights were a big success and a 5 year contract had been signed with flyglobespan. However it was flyglobespan that pulled the plug due to the huge amount of aircrat problems and also lack of demand in liverpool. Flights were achieving an 80-90% load factor with knock sector filling the bulk of seats each flight. So it is clear there is a definite demand for these flights and will return with another carrier im sure.
