Is it me or is GSM being a bit ambitious with all there bases, EDI, GLA, STN fair enough, but now MAN and LPL. Is there going to be an aircraft based at LPL for the TFS flight or is it going to be a W service from one of the scottish aiports or STN. Also what is the MAN B767 going to do on the days its not operating to CPT.

Looking at the timings from LPL it looks at this stage that it will be a based a/c, not on a 'W'. There is the time available for a possible routing to a comparatively close european neighbour such as Prague etc. as well as TFS but we shall wait and see.
I believe that the MAN a/c is fully utilised on the CPT run

Scotlands Airline!!
A recent article in The Scotsman quotes the following;
Flyglobespan will add seven Boeing aircraft, nearly doubling its current fleet of one 767 and nine 737s, with an eye toward expanding its long-haul services, according to press reports. The Edinburgh-based LCC will lease two more 767s, two 757s and three 737s. "We would like to be recognized as Scotland's national airline. Our drive is to develop a network to match that aspiration," Chairman Tom Dalrymple told The Scotsman, mentioning New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco as possible US destinations along with the Caribbean, Mexico, Africa and the Middle East.
With this in mind & the fact that are based in Scotland, with UK "G" registered aircraft shouldn't they carry the name Air Scotland????

ACMI = Aircraft Crew Maintenance Insurance.
This is Wet lease and the aircraft stays on the AOC of the supplier.
Dry lease means just the aircraft and it has to go on the AOC of the user.
Damp is a wet lease sans cabin crew and or maintenance.

GLOBESPAN EXT POTENTIAL OPS??
Heard a rumour down this neck of the woods that Globespan might be basing and aircraft at Exeter,possibly to challenge Flybe on the spanish routes and maybe to fly to the canary islands. A decent sized catchment area and it would certainly do the average pax a lot of good if another airline were to challenge Flybe's niche! Any truth in this??

Travelweekly are reporting that Flyglobespan are looking to base a Boeing 737-700 and Aberdeen from next year, no mention of routes yet, but i suspect Malaga, Alicante, Palma and Faro will be on the list.
