GSM close ABZ for the winter

GSM are closing there base in ABZ from the end of October with plans to reopen it for the start of the summer 08.

Some flights will operate through the winter, probably in a W pattern with EDI or GLA but some will be cancelled, passengers have been notified today.

[chrism20]

This will be fun as quite a few flights last winter were operated EDI/GLA/XXX as it was.

[mightymouse111]

GSM Scot, any chance you could explain the reasons behind that?

Where are these aircraft now going to operate in the winter?

I know its not through the lack of crews!

[Richard Taylor]

ABZ

Very disappointing if true.

Presume bookings for winter below expectations the reason.

How typically Aberdeen!

"Give us flights to A, B, C etc...but DON'T EXPECT US TO USE THEM!"

[gavin360]

hi there sorry 2 change the subject i am flying bfs-mco on tues 11th sept just wondering is it still the 767 with the italian crew ??

[DTVAirport]

"Give us flights to A, B, C etc...but DON'T EXPECT US TO USE THEM!"

That sounds more like MME, which, in light of ABZ being temporarily pulled, I am now doubtful of a second based a/c for S08, but I won't stop hoping.

W07 Cut

There have been small cuts to the W07 schedule from ABZ and EDI, GLA remains strong with no cuts at all.

ABZ will lose FNC, and Tues TFS, all others staying for now. No based A/C but positioned in to operate the flights. Good news in most flights will be operating, just not with a based A/C.

EDI flights cut: FAO 3 weekly, GVA 4 weekly, PMI now 2 weekly, PRG 2 weekly.

MCO ?

HI, We do not fly into MCO but we do fly into SFB and it is still operated on the NEOS 767 with Itallion crew and a GSM Cabin service manager onboard.

Will be operated on a GSM 757 and GSM crew from November.

[afterdark]

will the Glasgow to Sanford flights in March/April 08 be on a GSM 767 or 757 ?

[GSM SCOT]

SFB

SFB will operate on the 757 from 1st of Nov 07 till the 22nd of May 08 then it goes on the 767 which will be back from Air India by then.

[gavin360]

cardiff flights

hi guys any more news on gsm flights out of cardiff they was going to base one aircraft from the winter

[GSM SCOT]

Cardiff

Highly unlikely GSM will have an aircraft based down in Cardiff this winter.

ABZ is losing it's 700 due to not enough aircraft for the winter schedual.

[andy1205]

cardiff flights

summer time they should be short not winter

[GW76]

not enough aircraft....yeah right....more like not enough passengers.

[GSM SCOT]

ABZ

We are still flying to 6 destinations from ABZ this winter, these will be in a W pattern from EDI and GLA so there are plenty passengers.

Flights are running at 95 - 100% capacity.

Also other plans for some aircraft.

[TFAME]

GSM SCOT , Hi,
Now that TCD/XL are downsizing their Man-SFB service from 747-300's , would there be an opening for GSM to hop in and begin service to SFB from Man .

Just a thought.

EDI flights cut: FAO 3 weekly, GVA 4 weekly, PMI now 2 weekly, PRG 2 weekly.
Not surprising given it's 28.5% cheaper for airlines to fly International routes from Glasgow during the winter.? No such discounts exist @ EDI
