Sorry WRONG.

The new a/c FG was on the SFB flight.

PT positioned to MAN for the CPT flight. PT was always going to MAN.

Anyone got news on 757's or 737-700's yet?

New 737s and the 757s are not due till next year.

[breagh01]

Wrong eh? maybe not.

What are you on about. I was meaning the 767 leaving from GLA to MAN, A/C was late due to having lack of lifevests which they had to borrow from elsewhere. BTW did anyone see the police attending as the PX started a brawl in the terminal as they were miffed at being delayed.

Durham Tees Valley expansion

New routes following bmibabys withdraw from MME. IBZ, PUY, MAH, JER & NCE along side existing launched flights to AGP, ALC, FAO & PMI

[Vuelo]

Have heard rumour that GSM are to soon announce a masive long haul programme from MAN, with the acquisition of more 767s to be based at the airport.

Can anyone in the know confirm this?

Would have thought west coast USA and Bahgkok would be good routes to start with.

[1_4_the_road]

heres hoping those rumours are true....If so where are these 767's coming from??? And I wonder if they have thought about buying into the queen of the skys 747-400...Think im dreaming there...but hey lifes one big dream haha

How have the first couple of TFS-ABZ flights been going?

Also, is it still GSM's intention to launch a AGP-ABZ route next summer in competition with MON? I thought GSM were going to, but had then changed their minds.

Thanks.

Does anyone know what the third 767 will be doing next summer? I guess one will be on GLA-SFB and one will be on the various routes from YVR/YYC to the UK; but am curious as to where the third one will be.

LPL-JFK is now going via Knock on some days of the week, apparently!

GLA-SFB via BFS, MAN-YYZ via KEF , countless double drops for Canada and now Knock its all a bit of a shambles. I cant imagine its the last late change to routing we'll see. I cant think of another airline which does this so often. Its verging on unprofessional. No wonder they almost have a full page on their website to highlight the fact that there is likely to be route and time changes. Dont get me started on aircraft type swaps...... Get it sorted Tom.

[XSBaggage]

Mind you in their first year operating out of PIK there were a lot of double drops outside the peak summer season, such as PIK-NCE-PMI-PIK. Given their growth since then, I don't think anyone minded too much.

I just wonder if they are trying to grow too fast sometimes. They seemed to be on pretty solid footing for a while - mess around too many pax with strange ops decisions and your reputation can crumble very quickly!

Anyone heard anything about the LPL-JFK flight operating via Knock?

How on earth are they going to achieve that given that both 767s look pretty fully utilised at MAN and GLA respectively (according to the timetables on their website).

There'll be a lot of unhappy punters if they pull one of them at short notice, or is the 3rd 767 closer than previosly thought?

[GOLF-INDIA BRAVO]

Glasgow B767 SFB and LAS programme appears to have been pulled

G-I-B

[pamann]

I can't see that SFB has been dropped, tho it does seem that the LAS has been pulled.
With all these non starters is it not about time that GSM experimented a bit with some long haul from STN other than their Toronto service. SFB, BOS, LAS & JFK would all go down well from STN as well as BGI.

[Vuelo]

56 on today's CPT arrival at MAN....very poor.

Are GSM actually doing any publicity in the Cape Town area?!

G-CEFG is the a/c going to Air India. 3rd a/c now not yet required and therefore not imminent.

vuelo.. Its only the 3rd flight for gods sake.

Its like you wanting them to fail.. all 3 flights have been full outbound so those people will start coming home, so the flights will fill up.

Like been said before most of these pax will originate from man.

so probably very little traffic from CPT.

jethro15

The aircraft going to india is actually G-CDPT, and the third 767 is still coming in the new year.

[point5]

I thought 2 767s were required at the moment - one based at GLA and one at MAN operating pretty full schedules! I may be wrong...

[Pontious]

That IS the plan.
