NCL - YYZ Summer 2007

Air Transat ? sold through Canadian Affair, perhaps........

There is a rumour circulating that there will be a GLA - Amritsar charter flight this winter for an indian travel company. Not sure about this but it's being mentioned.

[webby1919]

GSM released Winter 06 & Summer 07 schedule for BFS-SFB weekly Tues departure, via GLA.

[Jet_stream]

Well yeah but its GLA - BFS - SFB.

[gatwicknose]

Nice one webby!! I know advertising is free here but at least get your routing correct.....King T would certainly not want to waste precious fuel on such a venture!!!

[caaardiff]

So, so far we've had BFS, MME, LPL, STN, MAN and extra GLA flights (correct me if theres more)
All within the space of a few weeks/months! They must be doing something right.
Anyone know where the new aircraft are coming from, and exactly how many they are getting?
I'm sure its been said before.... but CWL should be next!

stansted i hope is next

i heard that stansted is getting newyork flight
poss 2 a day later on

[gatwicknose]

thats the second STN-NYC startup planned..I wonder who will get airbourne first... King T did rather leave STN in the lurch with the north south flights this year...I wonder if they will return to feed?

[Air Hop]

Hope not barking up wrong tree, but does anyone know what / who will be doing the EXT/BHX/YYZ/EXT charter in 07? Currently Air Transat with A310.

Many thanks,

There was a rumour earlier in this thread about an Amritsar charter flight for an Indian travel company. Has anyone heard anything more about it, and if it will be bookable from the UK? Also is it just a one off or a regular thing?

come on GSM and start a LPL - ATH service ASAP!

[Jet_stream]

The Amritsar flight is for a UK travel company who specialise in India....think it's Kohli Travel. Although there has been no official announcement to crew.

I'm hoping for a STN to US route. Stansted will have 4 daily American routes by the end of the summer but they are all business class. We need some economy prices across the Atlantic too.

What is the logic in operating GLA - BFS - SFB, instead of just doing SFB / BFS as a w and dropping one weekly GLA rotation?

[Jet_stream]

Will help fill up the tues flight out of GLA over the winter, and also if operated in a W then would have the added cost of transporting crew etc

[greatoaks]

Does anyone know the release date for summer '07 flights to ALC & MAH

cheers

[jabird]

Jet Stream, so I presume they are not using their own staff for check-in? Where would security staff for this flight come from - an addition of a few hours to the shift pattern for BFS to sort out?

I'm sure they've done the maths, but would have just thought it cheaper to position a small number of crew, rather than to operate a (50% full?) 767 over such a short sector?

[Jet_stream]

To be honest i wouldn't know about the cost of operating the flight, but MYT do it on one of their GLA - SFB flights so guess GSM are just testing the water. Maybe there are good cargo contract to be had from BFS??

Just came back from SFB this morning and we had alot of N. Irish pax onboard and they were delighted to hear about our new BFS - SFB service.

We'll see, cos one thing is for sure if it doesn't make money then it will be dropped quickly.

If you look at the Canadian traffic, Zoom, Transat and Air Canada(although they have left Scotland now) they all do/did w patterns.

[webby1919]

New route due to be announced: GLA-BOS from May 07 with GSM, daily service.
