Not heard anything about what routes scot airways are looking at, just heard that they had approached airport and enquired about where it would be feasible to start up new route to.

As for the HIAL saga, yes it is getting very boring and dragging along, latest i heard is june next year ?

Dundee Airport

Just a thought: Should HIAL then have to change their name if taking on
an Airport in the lowlands?

Cityjet

Good news for Dundee, with the recent announcement of the Air France by Cityjet operating from LCY. Not sure what the frequencies are but good news nevertheless.

Not codesharing as far as I'm aware of Cityjet ops. All flights have an Air France code only. Good news about that is that I can keep topping up my Flying Blue Platinum card on routes to Dundee now!!

In anycase, from Dundee, there's now connections with Cityjet (Air France) to many more locations as well as with KLM, to Rotterdam and Amsterdam! Bit better offer than Scot Airways and at least a business product on offer now (very good service in my opinion compared to Air France out of CDG).

Something in the post ?

Been hearing rumours of some new routes in the pipeline. Heard Belfast and Birmingham mentioned, with an ATR42, don't know the operator, possibly a polish owned airline ? I thought of eurolot as they operate atr42's but nothing on their website etc.

Dundee - BHX

Baggagebill

I have heard nothing concrete at the BHX end, it is one destination which
is regularly mooted but nothing of real substance.

A good route for the new Birmingham European possibly but there is still
no firm start date for the airline. They seem determined not to do a
"flywho" with erroneous start dates and who can blame them.

New Routes

Just heard a snippet about Flywhoosh (White eagle aviation) of poland, due to start operating from Dundee end May early June.

Couple of flights a day to Birmingham and One to Belfast city, meant to be a press announcement shortly.

Congratulations Bill, beat the Tele to the story anyway.

Good news for Dundee though, certainly the students and families will see the Belfast route well supported, with two rotations they are obviously confident about Birmingham as well so well done DCC / HIAL.

April 1st?

OK call it sour grapes but......
UK Commercial Director Aden Murcutt, and flywhoosh.
Erm didn't I recall a certain Company with a Aden Murcott, chief executive of Flywho low cost airline?
An amazing coincidence?
PS. And if you are starting in a month, how about a working website?

More:

the flywhoosh website is registered to Go Visit Ltd (05197726) which is a dormant Company. Yet on Wicko is posted: "Flywho NEVER had an ATOL because all seats were sold through Go Visit Ltd, which means flywho never needed to have an atol." Beware possibly more pie in the sky?

It seems highly unprofessional for the airline not to have a working web site upon launching. Good luck to them, but it doesn't look good!

Aden Murcutt??!!

Sorry to say that you've got to be pretty optimistic to imagine that an "airline" (Whoosh doesn't have an AOC - they are apparently using White Eagle of Poland) involving this joker is going to be successful.

What amazes me is that Dundee should be come associated with this individual, and even more, that Birmingham to be stupid enough to be promoting yet another of his enterprises.

How long before the next appearance on Watchdog??
