I don't think EDI will see any longhaul expansion except for the weekly YHM flight until at least S08 now. They seem to be focussing their efforts on GLA and MAN for LH for S07.

Award For Gsm 2006

Flyglobespan lands top industry award
CAPITAL-BASED no-frills airline Flyglobespan has scooped a top industry award to mark its business success.

The firm, which launched four years ago and has its main offices in Colinton, was handed the President's Award at the Scottish Council for Development and Industry (SCDI) awards.

Flyglobespan, headed by chairman Tom Dalrymple, was lauded for its strong growth to more than 650 employees and a fleet of 21 aircraft.

Mr Dalrymple said: "The outstanding success of Flyglobespan is due to the commitment and effort of the whole team who make up this great airline. As the mere conductor of this fine orchestra I am delighted to accept this award on their behalf, and at the same time publicly acknowledge my sincere and personal appreciation of their efforts."

City-based biotechnology firm Lux was also praised for its work boosting Scotland's reputation as a pioneer in life sciences, research and product development.

The company, which currently markets and develops a range of products including laboratory and diagnostic reagents, water contamination monitors, and calibration devices, is expanding its technology portfolio and expects to launch further products in 2007.

Not until summer 08 at the earliest. Seems they are concentrating their long haul expansion on GLA and their shorthaul expansion in EDI just now with regards to Scotland.

Youd think if there was local demand someone would have maintained a Florida service over the years. I think there was a short Travel City service and even it was axed.

Dub Yhm S2007 Flights

Can anybody advise why these flights are showing via SNN in both directions? It doesnt seem to make sence as the aircraft is flying YHM SNN DUB on a Thur and then DUB SNN YHM on Fri. Why not operate YHM DUB SNN YHM as other operators do?

GLA-SFB in a 737? What a slog, I take it there will be no IFE unless of course the stewardesses do a pole dance.

Hi all! Booked myself onto the LPL-JFK flight next August. Website says you can pre-book your seats up to 2 days before the flight, but cannot do it on-line yet. Anyone else found this for the LPL flights? Is this because they are unsure what equipment will be used on the service?

Cheers!

Im always fascinated to why spotters are privvie to such information. I suspect speculation rather than fact. Perhaps you can enlighten us.....

The truth is most spotters either work at the airport or know the right people to talk to in the pub

Perhaps you can enlighten us about Travel City axing EDI-SFB?

'Spotters'? If you are referring to me, I have never written an aircraft number down in my life. 'Privvie' information?
Perhaps I should stop reading alt.airports.uk.glasgow

Dropped, suspended,ditched, not returning next year....all mean axed in my book, dont know how you would describe a service which no longer operates regardless of reason.
Whats the definition of a spotter ....(must they all write aircraft numbers down) ?
I think not.

You said 'axed'. I can't remember any annoucement from Travel City.

Must all 'Spotters' write down aircraft numbers? They wouldn't be 'Spotters' then?.

Now if you are talking aircraft photography. I'm guilty.

FWIW there were over 100,000 'spotters' dotted around EDI the day I took the pic.

new to this forum,

But I am after any information on the the new Liverpool-JFK flight that might operate via knock. I'd appreciate it if someone would shine some light on this.

thanks.

NOTE:

If you want to discuss SPOTTER topics then go to the forum designed for that. Keep to the current topic or posts will get deleted and so might you.

We are getting a tad fed-up with tackling these silly jibes and off track chat.

Please do it or the mighty will strike. Got it?

I believe the first Glasgow to Sanford flight on a 737-800W is due back in Glasgow this morning, I wonder what the passengers thought of the aircraft swap via St Johns

Airline Flyglobespan
Flight Number 726
Departure City (Airport) St. John's, NL, Canada (YYT)
Departure Time 11/26/2006 12:45 AM
Arrival City (Airport) Glasgow, Scotland, Great Britain (EGPF)
Arrival Time 11/26/2006 08:24 AM
Remaining Flight Time 04:09 (planned)
Aircraft Type Boeing 737-800
Current Altitude 0 feet
Current Groundspeed 0 mph
Flight Status Planned

Is this the first time a 737 has flown UK to Florida in a standard scheduled 737 pax config ?

SFB in a 737?

No, GSM did MAN-SFB with a 738 a couple of weeks ago - see post 116.
