No the NY flight from Liverpool was launched as flying to Newark EWR but was switched to JFK.

Yes I know, I posted it here, which is why I said 'as well as JFK?'.

But what I want to know is what 'W Cdr Gibson' is on about bearing mind the EWR route was announced nearly six months ago.

The JFK flight is now bookable, daily throughout 2007 into Jan '08!
Merry Christmas

Cost efficient ??

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.

Cost efficient??
Globespan is spending about £6000 a month on taxi fares getting crew back and forth from EDI and GLA.
Just on another note the new seat pitch on the 600's is ridiculous. pax are complaining left right and centre about the fact you only have 28 inch seat pitch one side and 29 the other. The forward left windshield galley was removed and seats shuffled on the right to allow an extra six seats to be put in.
Fair enough it gets the cabin from 125 to 131 but at what cost?
Already PAX are saying "I'm not flying with this lot again". recent flights i noticed were 128 pax etc so not all the six installed are getting used and the cost of doing this change must have been huge.
Perhaps they should remove the seats and have standing room only or convert one of the cargo holds

I notice the GSM101 MAN-YYZ flight time has changed from 1300 to 1345 arriving now 1715 instead of 1625 at YYZ.
Has this involved a change of a/c or is the 767 still on these ops.

Ouch

That would be just about bearable for a quick hop down to London, but further afield must be hell, especially if you are of any height or shape

B757 Acquisition

Two B757's wet leased from Loftleidir/Icelandair. Two further a/c to be sourced from elsewhere. Anyone able to confirm this latest plan?

[webby1919]

Sounds about right - the 2 B757s will initially come from Icelandair as wetlease, and the other 2 will follow soon after, not sure where from though.

[point5]

Anyone in the know able to comment on the B738 currently based at Liverpool. With no summer schedule released for this aircraft, is the TFS service to be shelved or are they still finalising the summer schedule?

Thanks

Could be moving to MAN from what I hear. They are fed-up with being last in the queue at LPL.

[dwlpl]

In the queue for what?

There is a company selling holidays using a (yet to be announced) flyGlobespan flight from Liverpool to Prague in the summer.

[point5]

There is no queue at 10.10 when their one and only flight departs!

[jethrotull]

How long is the B767 wet leased to Air-India, i hear rumours of 1yr - 2yrs ?

[GW76]

jethrotull

Plan was for 6 months initially. 3rd GSM 767 due summer. AI have their own new aircraft expected also.

[fokkerplod]

AI Wetlease

Hi Jethrotull,
have it on good authority that the lease is going for the full year.
Dont know how this will affect summer 07 programme, but also heard a wet leased b767 will op. the vancouver service.

Finally....Globespan launches new route from STN

Finally Globespan has launched a New route from STN to Larnaca in Cyprus!

Starting April 01 with a Twice weekly flight then from May it goes to 6 days per week.

The LCA will operate everyday except Wednesday night when rumour has it an Athens service will be added

Summer 2007 - STN

1x B737-800 - TFS Daily, LCA nightly except Wed when it will operate ATH
1x B757-200 - Toronto Hamilton Daily via a Different Regional UK airport everyday.

CT

[jongeman]

Is this another example of Flyglobespan over-expanding? 6 flights weekly to LCA seems ambitious at the same time as ZB announce LTN - LCA 3 or 4 times weekly from 26th March.

Hold on for some delays with that tight schedule. LCA will do well regardless of LTN

[mathers_wales_uk]

hi there, i wonder if anyone could help me.

I was dispatching an Aer Arann at CWL today and was chatting to the Captain about flybe ariving in the summer operating Cardiff - Belfast City.

He mentioned that fly globespan maybe operating from CWL in the summer, does anyone know if this is true or not?

Many thanks
