Not that it makes a lot of difference but one point to note is that GSM operated to Hurghada from GLA. Sharm was an EDI service. Most of the time, flights arrived back at source early, so time-outs were not an issue.
I think FlyGlobespan served SSH from both GLA and EDI. Your right they did fly to HRG from GLA only.
Just out of interest is it just the Scottish bases? I know here at MAN they havn't.
By "Scottish bases" I presume you mean Glasgow? As its TOM and TCX's only Scottish base?!
Jet2 would have been aware of any costs of the route such as if they did wish to night stop before they put the route up on sale anyway. There is obviously other reasons why the route has been pulled?
I guess though, extra flights to the good old Med routes of PMI, ALC, FAO etc will make more money for them over the summer months.
I would hope so but I do not believe for a minute bookings for this route were low. Its a prime route from TCX, TOM and GSM seemed to do well on there Egyptian routes from Glasgow.
