An advert by this carrier in a well known publication for a senior position mentions a base at a Midlands Airport as well as Manchester and Glasgow.
Is the advert incorrect or are they planning a Midlands base and if so which airport.
They arn't flying for Flywho are they?
Centre cities

Apparently, GSM will not now be operating to Florida this winter and therefore will only require the one B767. Any further expansion of the fleet is not now expected until summer 07. Anyone able to confirm?

A work colleague had booked tickets for a sizeable party heading over to Amsterdam.
The flights were canned, and a refund offered, but by then the alternatives had gone up in price.
Globespan on the whole seem pretty good, but in this instance the service was rather shoddy.

What KLM doesn't allow for unless you're prepared to rip yourself off is a one-way, a day return or even an overnight stay, unless it is a Saturday night stay.
Shame as I was looking at using this service this summer, won't be anymore! 1x weekly to AMS is a complete joke! I thought 1x weekly to FCO at EDI was bad...

Dont know about the HV loads from PIK, the prices seem to be pretty high though, suggesting that the route is doing well. Posted somewhere else a while ago casting doubt on the viability of KLM, Transavia and GSM on the same route. Looks like I was proved right. Maybe the popularity of AMS is beginning to wane slightly amongst the drunken weekend bunch, as DUB did and PRG seems to be doing too. Everyone is moving further east.

Think that the "airport officials" quoted are being a little over-enthusiastic when they say that the GSM service will save 24 hours over exisiting routes, and that it is the "first ever direct link", maybe first ever scheduled link is better. Still it is good to see they are getting acknowledged on the other side of the Atlantic too. I really wonder how it will do though. Cant get a feel for what I think of it. In the summer sure, a great idea, but USA-originating traffic given SFB´s lack of connections and an off-peak daily flight...... I dont know. Got couple of friends recently employed as long haul CC for GSM though, so will be able to let you know!

I see that Jethros Fleet listings is saying that the second 767 will be arriving in 2007. What happened to the Orlando's running all year and the Capetowns starting in October with the second aircraft. Have bookings been below expectations or what????

GSM to ORK?
LoganAir have pulled off the daily GLA-ORK-GLA route does anyone here think that Globespan might now operate the route? Apparently there are some noises about it? It could certainly make sense with the 736, as Cork has quite a high volume of both business and leisure travellers, also GSM would have a monopoly on the route, neither is there a service to EDI. It would certainly make more sense than slugging it out with KLM and Transavia to AMS!
