lol...I have actually seen RAF movers loading Monarch flights in the past, just to get them away...Gibair couldnt run a bath
EK77....Just after the signing of the Cordoba agreement Iberia started a 319 service from Madrid..It sadly didnt pay and they pulled off the route (although there were politics at play as well)..Then Andalus started their route with the ERJ`s but again, insufficent business and they ceased the route, owing the Gib Government a lot of money apparantly.
FR 738`s cannot operate there as presently configured. It would need to be re fitted for short field operations which rules FR out of the Gib equation.Jet 2 have been sniffing round and might yet venture a route from Scotland but nothing as yet.
The ownership of the airfield is also a problem..Until very recently it was an active RAF base that allowed civvy planes to land, usually at eye watering charges. The GoG now owns part of it but the MOD still has the final say and arn`t very keen for it to be over expanded...
