I was looking at BAA Glasgow website and came accross this for flights to SFB from Glasgow
03-Apr - 2 - - - - - 09:00 15:25 GSM725 763 Non-Stop 11:25 hrs.
29-Mar - 2 - 4 - 6 - 09:30 13:30 GSM725 738 Non-Stop 9:00 hrs.
05-Apr
26-May - - - 4 - 6 - 09:30 13:30 GSM725 738 Non-Stop 9:00 hrs.
27-May 1 -3 4 5 6 7 09:30 13:30 GSM725 738 Non-Stop 9:00 hrs.
either it seems that BAA have got it totally wrong.not just the fact that 738 can't fly GLA - SFB non stop, or GSM are going to use the 738 more on this route

Unless they are putting fuel tanks in the removing seats, then no the 737-800 would take a dipp in the pond.

Think the BAA website is wrong.

The flights arriving SFB at 1525 will be 738. The ones arriving at 1330 will be 763.

I think there'll be 6 flights in total operating the SFB flights with B738s over Winter 06. This is to cover shortage of A/C because of the Air-India Contract. Back to B763ER for S07 though.

diesel36, you are right, I don't work for GSM.

Well if I have been fed the wrong info from a friend who works in operations AT GLA, then apologises. He told me that 2 had operated, from the beginning of November. Add that to the one on Saturday - makes 3.
Don't know if that figure he quoted of 2 is including the YYZ.

Anyway not going to get into a slanging match, but a polite reply if someone gets something wrong is all that is needed. Everyone makes mistakes, even you.

Anyway enough.

I ain't slating GSM, for operating a B738 across the pond. At least they have improved flights from Scottish Airports to various destination, over the years where others haven't.
The only thing I hate about GSM, is the constant changing of times. That ain't a major problem, but trying to book a holiday/flight to work around personnel schedules is annoying.

Nope that fuel stopped in Iceland ...

IM guessing the GLA-SFB on 737-800 fuel stops somewhere as well, BFS?

Just got my start date with GSM (737 LPL / MAN base) anyone got any info they can share as to routes other than the Liverpool-Tenerife. These don't appear in the Summer schedule so am interested to know likely destinations.Anything likely out of MAN? Cheers.

Just to clarify. The GLA - BFS - SFB operates on 763 and on Saturdays for the next few weeks GLA - SFB operates on 738 and has a tech stop in Saint John's NL o/b and i/b.

LPL-TFS is the only route until S07. Hopefully Prague will be reinstated once the runway closures have passed.

Pax on this aircraft said they had twice been to Tenerife from LPL via STN...is this normal (doesn't look like you have time to do that from the website timetable)?

flyglobespan: EDI-GLA-Malaga - cost efficient?!

Just got an e-mail from flyglobespan telling me my flight to Malaga is no longer EDI-Malaga and will stop off at Glasgow enroute!!

This I find unbelieveable - how on earth can it be cost efficient to take a 737 up and down when the airports are at max 60 miles apart as the crow flies?!
Surely cheaper to bus passengers along the M8?!

Is this precedented? I remember Concorde flew EDI-GLA on exhibition a few years ago but never since have I heard of such a ridiculous journey.

I'm fairly certain I used to operate a flight which was AMS-GLA-EDI-AMS for KLMuk in the 1990s.

Edi - Gla

Jamesie

Have a look on the BAA website for either EDI or GLA arrivals & departures over next 4 or 5 days, you will find Globespan do this on a very regular basis, even more so it would seem over the last few weeks - either a sign of cost effectiveness or poor loads.
I will leave the last comment down to a few more 'professional in the know' individuals than me
