Re: FlyGlobespan
can someone tell me the logical thought behind pulling the EDI-BOH route before it has entered the crucial 4 week advance booking period??? 65% of all bookings for such a route would be made in those 4 weeks so what the hells goin on???

The difference here is that EDI-BOH is a domestic route, and Flyglobespan have chopped it more than 2 months before it starts. Which is why what you say refarding forward bookings makes it even more difficult to understand, it seems they've not even given the route a chance.

Re: FlyGlobespan
VERY interesting! The first low fares flights from the UK to Croatia! I would expect this area to experience considerable low cost expansion in the next few years.

As I said in my original reply the timings are not good for a single daily rotation.

I am very pissed off as instead of booking a EDI-LHR//SOU-EDI open jaw I booked a one-way with BA EDI-LHR and a one-way with GSM BOH-EDI. The price on the SOU-EDI is now much higher. I'm also getting hit for a double whammy as the open-jaw would have been much cheaper.
What sort of twats are running this airline? If my marketing director kept making these types of decisions he be out on his ear.

For some reason I cant see that happening anytime soon!!
But who knows!
From the Herald via Scotavnet:-
BUDGET airline FlyGlobespan has scrapped all domestic flights from
Edinburgh. The city-based no-frills carrier said it was cancelling a
planned route from the Capital to Bournemouth and axing its service to
London Stansted. The cancellations, which come into effect at the end of
February, have left hundreds of passengers who had already bought tickets on
the flights now having to find alternative ways to travel. The firm has
been unable to sell enough tickets to the English south coast, while planes
flying to Stansted will instead be used to take holidaymakers to Europe. The
shock announcement bucks a recent trend for service expansion by
FlyGlobespan, who only this week announced two new destinations from the
Capital for next summer - a weekly service to Mahon in Menorca, as well as
the first flights to the Croatian resort of Pula. A spokesman said: "We
apologise to any customers inconvenienced as a result of the ending of these
flights. In order to serve the summer market and go to the resorts we want
to fly to, we need to take planes off the domestic services. We still have
ambitions for expansion and hope to revisit the domestic market."
It says they want to revist the domestic market!!!

Wet lease does not use the crews of the charting airline. The company that provides an aircraft under the west least arrangement generally provides it under an ACMI arrangement, sans the gas.

Flyglobespan - B767
According to next months Airliner World,
"The airline expects to add up to six Boeing 767s to its fleet over the next two years, the first of which will be used for a Manchester - Cape Town service due to be launched in November"
