Are Ryanair definitely going to build this hangar at PIK? I know they said they will, but the tone of the following makes me think Dublin might still get the new maintenance facility.

Aer Arann dropped PIK-Cork a while ago, it had nothing to do with the new GLA-Cork route. Aer Arann will continue to fly from PIK with their thrice weekly Donegal flight.

21st may they leave and tie up with aer lingus, at gla, not good news. A mixed bag of good news and bad news for pik in the last week. is that likely 2 stir ryanair or not?

I've just checked Aer Arann from Prestwick to Donegal, Sunday 15th August to Friday 20th August. The flights are definately leaving and arriving at Prestwick on those dates. You can check their website for yourself if you want. What makes you think that Aer Arann are transferring this route to Glasgow?

ceo buisness update, announcing, new hangar, new frequeinces on 5 routes. panallpina moving 2 stn and tech stops. It came out yesterday. like i said. a mixed bag of news!
Out of interest does any one know who has won the tender to actually build the hangar facility at PIK? None of the news reports that I have seen actually say who will be doing the construction. I would have thought that building the facility by October is quite good going.

I'm not doubting for one minute that Aer Arann are going to start flights from Glasgow in partnership with Aer Lingus but if, as you say, Aer Arann are going to pack up and leave Prestwick on May 21st then why are the Donegal flights still from Prestwick in August. Go check the web site!! I have been led to believe that the Donegal flights are not part of the Aer Lingus partnership.

The jeeps in the Atlas lumps are also been carried in the VDA AN124s and have been for a while i believe the 124s have been busy elsewhere and thats why Atlas started to pick them up

I'll believe it when I see it on their website! If their website doesn't say that they are leaving Prestwick then where exactly do you get your information and where can everyone else see or hear it for themselves?

heard from ryanair engineer that 7th based aircraft will be at pik for the summer. iv no facts on this, just what he said last nite. one fact that i do have and i have seen it with my own eyes is 21st may, aer arran are leaving pik. aer arrans operations now from gla. nothing to do with pik operations, but its the franchise aggreement with air lingus, no matter what there website says. il try and find out who is building new hangar and post it. anybody watch arsenal game last nite? how bad was fabianskli?
