Looks as though flyGlobespan has applied for permission from the US DOT to route three flights per week on the daily Liverpool/JFK route (starting next May) via Knock.
FlyGlobespan has also applied to route three flights per week on the Glasgow/Boston route via Knock as well.

Ya Im excited with this developement, If it happend it will be a sucess, if people can avoid dublin to go to the US they will.
I'd imagine the turn around for the flight would be very quick,
My only worry is the shannon stopover, ant ideas how this will affect things?

This is great news, but wouldn't it have made more economic sense to route it through Cork, which has a significantly larger catchment area. As far as I know the Shannon stopover only applies to flights to Dublin. There must be one flight to Shannon for every flight to Dublin.

GSM never made a flight from MAN to SFB. Yesterday was the first 738 flight made into SFB by GSM. Great aircraft, but in 189Y, thats a long flight, especially with a stop in CYYT.

Thanks for the info, few additional Q. Without being pedantic since this a/c has joined AI in late Nov'06 and the contract is upto Mar'07 this is less than 6 mnths. What is the possibility flyglobespan extending the contract ? or is this purely a stop gap arrangement before the summer schedule, i believe flyglobespan is recieving another B767, is that a replacement for G-CDPT ?

Charlie Roy, I recently flew JFK-SNN via dublin with delta, when we landed in dublin pax going on to Shannon were not allowed off the a/c.We were on the ground for less than an hour and went on to SNN.
i was thinkingout how they could get around the shannon stopover and why they could skip it.
The flight might be marketed as a charter, this was done at cork before.
The flight originates from the UK.
To fufill the agreement GSM are flying DUB/SNN- YYZ.

Ive just been looking at the flight schedules on Edinburgh and Stansted airports website, and they are listing the Hamilton flights to be operated by a Boeing 767-300, Glasgow is listed as a Boeing 757. Can anyone shed anylight on this.

Well metal have to hand it to you....for a student you're certainly in the know when it comes to the latest and greatest from the NOC camp! While it is very positive news I wonder is it last chance saloon. Both positioning routes (GLA & LPL) have been operated from NOC before, GLA pulled only weeks after commencing and LPL on the back of the PSO was thin. Some questions, do the other carriers operating transatlantic from Ireland have any say in this application? What view will the market take on the ease of pre clearing US immigration, because to succeed it will need to take traffic from Shannon? There are major issues surrounding the billateral currently (national issues, election issues) so will the Irish Department of Transport be enamoured by the application, and a new entrant in the oceanic market to further muddy the water, or view it as an unwelcome headache? Best of luck to all, interesting times ahead!

MANCHESTER
Toronto until the 30 of april will be yyz then 1st of may will be yhm, on 767-300 atm, been told it will change to 757, but not sure when. 1 flight a week at the moment.
Cape town is 2 flights a week on 767-300 not sure of any alt a/c for this as its a 12 hour flight with full full tanks as it is.
No SFB planned out of man as yet.
Calgary also 1 flight a week, also 767-300 but again not sure of alt A/C as none stop is almost the same as CPT.
Vcouver 2 flights a week, again 767-300 to op.
Cape town in the summer, not sure, im guessing see how the winter goes and then look at the bookings.
Too answer a question you may have, GSM have 2 more 767-300 coming to them for the summer season.

Hey runawayedge, yep exciting times for NOC but I'll agree LPL wasn't the best of routes from NOC, GLA could be. BMI were just the wrong airline.I was surprise that logan didn't try it when they had the chance.
I wouldn't be surprised if SNN or even ORK but in on the the US flights from NOC.
No other news around here busy with the Leaving, except I'd imagine NOC are waiting the money from the EU.
