Has any airline past operated BHX-ATQ... did Flyjet ever operate this route? There seems to have been lots of failed start-ups for this service. Who is the tour operator behind it this time? I assume this won't to be a year round service.

Air India direct and Turkmenistan one stopping, both still going at present, although Air India is having a sabbatical over the winter and decamping to Heathrow.

Bhx Atq

There have been numerous airlines operating on the BHX/ATQ market mostly operating on behalf of topur operators. Alot of them ended in Stan.

Turkmenistan
Uzbekistan

Flyjet operated these flights BHX-GYD-ATQ.

Not a bad route but the chap running the sales for these flights was a dodgey as they come.

KT normally get’s parked up on a remote stand at GLA. All the stands are taken when we arrive back from BCN. Same thing happens at EDI late at night – so probably nothing out of the normal there.

AFAIK, we are leasing a 75-2 from AEU. Hamrah, I assume you are still leasing this to us??

Is KT still leaving the GSM Fleet?

Flyglobespan are going to get some bad press for hanging on this long insisting there not leaving MME, but i think we all relly know at heart MME is probably a lost cause!

Anyone know what plane is being used for tomorrows GLA-SFB flight??


Hope it is not delayed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4567]

Far as i know it will be the 752 G-CEJM via Bangor as the 763's are all away at the moment. It departed SFB on time heading back for GLA at the moment so there shouldn't be any major delays for tomorow hoping all things go smoothly at GLA for an ontime departure.

So the AEU lease was to start tomorow, has that now been cancelled?

Just read the thread on LTU going out of business.

Looks like Paddy Power got it wrong then showing FGS as 6/4 favs for the next airline to go bankrupt. Who says the bookies are never wrong!!!!

[goldeneye]

Think you mean LTE not LTU ?

[4567]

PMI passengers weren't that happy to find out that there flight was delayed till 21.30 today which i now presume is further delayed.

Anybody know why it was delayed so long? G-DLCH was sent to a remote stand at GLA round about the time the PMI flight was supposed to depart have no idea why!

Anybody have an idea about GSM002P to BRIZE NORTON?

[scotsunflyer]

Flight came up to GLA this morning, from Brize Norton

[c2lass]

We are booked with GSM for February 2009 to fly from ABZ to LPA. Never having flown with them I wonder if someone could answer a couple of questions.

Firstly, what type of plane will it be? Secondly will it fly direct or refuel at Shannon/Santiago like all TFS flights do from ABZ due to the short runway.

Thanks.

New government contract to fly from Brize Norton to Falklands, only a rumour I heard.

[Mr @ Spotty M]

They started the MOD contract at the beginning of this month, this is fact.

Thanks very much.

how long will a 757 be doing the GLA-SFB-GLA route???

Can the 757 not go the full route on the return leg without dropping in on Bangor???

[CabinCrewe]

Outbound No. Unless it was empty with a hurricane tailwind. Inbound still a possibility.

[Skipness One Echo]

Why can't it? It has been confirmed numerous times that MCO-GLA was common and GLA-MCO rarer but not impossible in the B757. Is SFB any different?
