I guess it's open season now on routes ex-Scotland. Egypt, Canada, Orlando, The Canaries , Turkey & Cyprus ALL need servicing now from Scottish cities.
Glasgow already has flights to all the above destinations. When Globespan collapsed they had 14 routes from Glasgow, the had competition on all 14 routes.
The fact that nobody appears to be in a great rush to service most of these routes could tell its own story.
Is there really a great demand for some of these services?
Did scots support Globespan because it was Scottish?.
Are you joking?!
Virgin Atlantic have added extra flights from Glasgow to Orlando and they will add even more flight on this route next year.
Ryanair have based a 6th aircraft at Glasgow Prestwick and a 7th will follow next April.
Thomas Cook are basing 7 aircraft at Glasgow this summer, compared to 5 last summer.
Thomas Cook have also added extra flights from Glasgow to Orlando, Florida.
Thomson Airways have added extra flights from Glasgow to Orlando, Florida.
Air Transat and Thomas Cook have added extra flights from Glasgow to Toronto.
Kiss Flights are launching 14 routes from Glasgow this year.
Barrhead Travel are operating their own charter flights from Glasgow this year.
To top it all off, easyJet will be expanding in the "near future" from Glasgow.
I cant actually believe you are questioning whether there is demand for these flights from Glasgow! Like I said above, Globespan had competition on every route it operated to/from Glasgow and Glasgow still has direct flights to every destination Globespan offered.
