Oh great, ILFC appear to be holding back Flyg's first B73GW over some disagreement. I was hoping they'd send one of those to the MME base, despite the rumours that MME will get a B736 and a B738W.

Hi,

Cant be that much of a problem, the aircraft is sitting at Glasgow now, arrived at 0540 hrs on Saturday morning from Boeing Field!

Cheers

Now seems MME is getting 2x 737-300's from Globy.

Now seems MME is getting 2x -300's from Globy.

I take it you mean 737's not the 767's

[mmeteesside]

Yes indeed, 767's would be lovely but no way would that happen That would wipe out the whole fleet of 767's for the summer!

[dwlpl]

Not forgetting Liverpools 757-200.

Hi GLAGAZ

I don't see Paphos (PFO) in your list of flights for the 738W grom GLA? I know this is operating as I'm booked in April. Flight time changed though from mid-afty to 6pm as has been the case in previous years.

[TechProblem]

In reply to your post GLAGAZ, i think MAN will op a 767 for most of the week to Calgary/Vancouver, the YHM was going to be a 757, but not sure it may still go on 767.

Although GSM's web site you can book via the low fare finder but not on the Flight finder. Might be reading to much into it but there are 2 YYZ options up to the 30th.

YYZ route has been doing well, with larger loads than the CPT so not sure why they would pull it.

[Carnethy]

No probs. It is quite some list though for just one aircraft, especially with 2 long-hauls (YHM & BOS). How is all this to be scheduled? Hate to think of the consequences if it goes tech!!

The Western Canada flights are to be operated by one Boeing 767 operating on a W style pattern, see my earlier post for thr routings.

YYC & YVR Flights

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ive been looking at the YVR & YYC flights from GLA, MAN & LGW and the flight times sugest these routes will be operated by the one Boeing 767.
It operates as follows:-
Monday :- GLA - YVR, YVR - YYC - LGW
Tuesday :- LGW - YYC - YVR, YVR - MAN
Wednesday :- MAN - YVR, YVR - LGW
Thursday :- LGW - YVR, YVR - YYC - GLA
Friday :- GLA - YYC - YVR, YVR - YYC - MAN
Saturday :- MAN - YYC - YVR, YVR - LGW
Sunday :- LGW - YVR, YVR - GLA

I hear a B738W configured with just 150 seats will operate GLA-BOS, the one leased from Travel Service Airlines perhaps?

[mmeteesside]

No it's the newest B738 that will come configed with 150ish seats, don't think TVS would allow their crews to go to BOS

[touch&go]

The new 73G arrived at GLA, link to a picture:

What's happening with GSM this summer? Sending aircraft on lease, cancelling future leases, is this a hint that they're in trouble?

[Whitehatter]

I think there's a ton of money to be made in India at the moment. Too many routes opening up and not enough drivers and crews for them.

If you can't hire drivers for your own metal, the only other option is ACMI which can be profitable for the lessor. Air India will also have a lot of people doing conversion at the moment as their new 777s get delivered.

[TechProblem]

Thats all fair enough leaseing there 767 to Air India to make some cash, but according to jethros fleet listings the 767 lease from Iceland air has gone will the 757's as well, so the question is what is going to operate the MAN-YHM, MAN-YYC, LPL-JFK, and also the SFB route (although that has been oped on a 737 b4 hmm nice...)

Getting close to these new routes and no aircraft to op them

[DTVAirport]

The summer schedules begin in 23 days, they're gonna be hard pushed to find suitable equipment in such short notice.

[jet2_at_blk]

Does anybody know who is operating the BFS-YHM flights this summer. On the OAG website, it says that FlyZoom will be operating the flights. Is this true?

[Jet_stream]

No this is not true, the BFS- YHM originates in STN. STN - BFS - YHM.

[goldeneye]

Zoom operate to Pearson YYZ from BFS, in addition to YVR
