I believe MME still have at least one aircraft online so it's not suprising. But there again, that's the problem with a smaller airline in terms of airframe numbers. All it takes is a few to go offline at a similar time and then the s
t hits the fan. Lets hope that next year will be better for them with a cut in routes.

Manchester - Cape Town
I see from the GSM website that you can no longer book flights for this route.
Looks like the rumours of poor sales on the route may be true and that it has been axed. Just like STN/ABZ/LPL.
I wonder what will happen to all of the GSM Manchester based cabin crew???

Well it certainly looks like its the end of this comedy, the leadershi* hasnt got any better and the lies deceit immoral bullying continue to flow from the
so called management.
Only the very few will get continued work in the uk as the backstabber smiling assassin pilots/ ccrew/ whingenineer have been noted and passed on in due course to colleagues far n wide!
Surprised the Fossils still there.

The Passengers Will NOT be coming back.
I hear the recently leased B767 G-CEOD has got MAJOR maintenance issues and CAA wont be letting it go anywhere!!!!!!!!!
B757 G-CEJM heads to Fedex soon so hence no longhauls looking likely.
Said it Ages ago.

Had my March 08 Manchester to Cape Town booking cancelled by GSM today, blame cast on bi-lateral talks (or non talks) and low passenger confidence. Silver lining is I've now booked cheaper with BA.

I wonder how this will affect their 767 and moreso their outlook on getting 787's in a couple of years 2010 i believe.
I cant see any airline affording to keep new/nearly new heavy aircraft only busy for 6/7 months in a year then sittle idle for 5 months, I think they could use at least 1 or 2 all year round between Florida and West Canadian routes with services from several UK/Ireland airports.
is there any winter routes that they could operate out of the UK using 767/787 assuming that they have not already burnt their bridges with passenger / travel agent confidence ?
whats up with their most recent 767, re maintenance problems ? i think they had a few tech problems when they first got their second 767 but were fixed reletively quickly

My Auntie flew MME-JER on G-CDRB on the 15th, returning yesterday, the 23rd, on the same aircraft, my Dad flew MME-ALC on CDRB last Friday, returning on the same aircraft in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
The report I got from my Auntie was that the leather seats were extremely dirty, and that some of the tables were sallotaped in the upright position.
I expect a similar report from my Dad. How are airlines with such standards allowed to continue operating???

Dirty seats and broken seat back are not things that are really looked at when deciding if an airline can keep its operating license!
When someone reports that the engines are taped together and the door held closed by a chair then you can worry about it.
Its LOCO! What do you expect? Expenditure on cleaning is gone out the window and minor repairs on non essential things like tray tables is not a top priority.

Pax on the late EDI-AGP last night were told that the delay was caused by....Malaga Airport.
Not that the flight took off an hour late, due to the aircraft being late inbound.

This thread is interesting to see what some of the staff at Globespan think!

Thanks for that Warkman. After reading the CabinCrew.com page I don't think I'll ever fly with Flyglobespan again.
Their own website showing a lot less schedules for next year

From what I hear from different people they seem to have expanded far too quickly this year which has caused them all sorts of problems. They also have the tendency to announce new routes and axe them before they've even got off the ground. I think any time I fly to Malaga I'll use Easyjet unless Ryanair ever starts flying from Prestwick to Malaga. At least both Easyjet and Ryanair are fairly reliable.

Most of the traditional charter carriers offer flexible flights from GLA to AGP too. and XLA,TCX, FCA and TOM often have pretty good deals and tend to be as reliable as EZY etc. You can fly out with one and back with another to suit times and days. Ive done it many times.
