Summer 2010
DutchBird-757 has posted on the Glasgow thread the summer IT's but can anyone confirm if there is any BHX flights?
One booking engine is showing BA4523 dep 17.15 BHX and arr back 22.05 Saturdays 24/7 - 14/8. You will notice that the time between dep & arr is
not enough as block to block is at least another 30 minutes if not more.
This flight no is very similar to the Glasgow ones but I can't find the flight in any major online brochures.
This site does chop and change quite a lot but this allows you to go quite a way with booking although not cheap. I won't post a link as it is a commercial site and not just for information only.

Pete,
You are right. It's only because of the date that I managed to find these BHX flights. It's on the E190 and the a/c positions from GLA to BHX and then does a PMI and back to GLA arriving in GLA at 2240z. (BA 4523/24)

BACF
How come MAN is missing out on these charter flights? We are only expected to have the MAN-CAG. Would have been nice to have the option of PMI/IBZ/AGP etc direct from MAN on good old BA again!

The last I've now heard from BACF is that there will be up to 7 weekly E190 charters from GLA and 1 EDI during the peak Scottish School holidays, a few of them operate via MAN/BHX a few weeks.

Once mainline have sorted the 'strike' out and BA management start running the CC, you may well see mainline aircraft actively seeking weekend charter work? It may be to late this year but I woud not be suprised to see BA aircraft at regional airports in the next 1-2 years? If only at weekends?

BACF to BCN no Daily
Just noticed BACF have added a additional weekly flight to BCN. Taking the schedule now to daily.
The extra flight will operate on a Saturday starting 8th May and will run through until the 25th September
The Saturday flight timetable will be as follows.
BA8471 LCY 07:00 BCN 10:10
BA8472 BCN 11:00 LCY 12:10
The flight will be operated by a E190SR.
Finally can someone post or message to me what travel operator BACF are operating their GLA/FAO/GLA flights for. Just was gonna book flight with TCX but might try and get a seat only on the BACF flight.
Cheers

@ BAladdy. All but AGP are Barrhead Travel charters. As far as I know only the PMI can be booked seperately. Unless anyone else can help with your FAO question? I've asked the question for you in the respective GLA forum.
"Presumably as Barrhead Travel charters none of these flights are available as flight only... The Palma flight can be booked as flight only through Teletickettravel.com. BA are also running a GLA-AGP for Thomas Cook Tour Operations"

I travelled ClubEurope on an E170 flight not long after the introduction of the aircraft to and from AMS. Service was great but on the return leg the crew apologised for not having been able to serve all of the pax in Club World....a/c full and such a short flight.

E190SR
Hi All
Noticed on Jethros that the first E190SR was due to be delivered today to EXT. It also says it is not entering service until 15th March. Is this i/s date correct. I thought BACF would want there new aircraft i/s before then.
Anyone any idea of what the aircraft first revenue flight is going to be??

ANM
You refer to the EMB as a Jungle Jet. Perhaps 12 years ago, you may have got away with that statement, but not now. The family of the E-jets equals those of Boeing and Airbus. It is a fantastic, modern airliner and something that every airline who operates, that airframe, ought to be rightly proud of.
I agree with you, the EMB170 does look a bit short and stuby, for me the old 146/RJ looks a bit like Thunderbird 2 when viewed from the front...... and its so old and expensive to operate. Whilst I think the EMB170 looks a bit short, it does look fantastic in the BA livery. Sorry ANM, the E jet wins my vote.
