any body have an idea how much of the globespan gaps have been taken up, at pik ang gla, and how much is left? has ryanair or viking,thomson,easy jet gobbled it up?
The fact that the overcapacity in the market has gone has to be a good thing. Noticed there were FIVE Ryanair B73Hs buttoned up outside the hangar on Saturday with engines wrapped up.

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.

Thanks for the information regarding the new hangar, appreciated.

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.

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?

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.

Yes, the Aer Arann flights to PIK are Aer Arann's own flights. The flights to GLA are part of the new Aer Lingus partnership, so I doubt they will axe PIK just because EI fly to GLA.

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?
