Great news! It has been absolutely full and waitlisted every time I’ve been on it this month. I finished early today and couldn’t move into the 4.30, 6.30 or 8.15. Travelled to London on Sunday and was booked on last flight and would have moved to 3.30 or 6.30 as my plans changed but they were also full!

With todays announcement of agreement between AC and TS to merge and keep both brands, what will this mean for Canadian services at GLA.. can't see Rouge and TS operating simultaneously. Would actually prefer AC Rouge to be maintained, though presumably connections might be possible between operators. Interesting times.

Strike Dates?
GLA chaotic at security this morning with the longest queues I’ve ever encountered (outside Stansted and Mumbai) I thought the next round of strikes started on the 3rd July not the 1st?

This was at 0930 after the initial early waves and to be honest it was more Canadian , US and Emirates pax by the looks of it as opposed to maw, paw and the weans heading to the costas. Only three lanes open, one of which was Fast Track. Queues right back to the entry machines and slow moving. Took me 40 mins when usually breeze through in 5-10 ( not fast track)

May traffic figures published, down 7.9% compared last May/ rolling 12 months down 4.7%
Other AGS airports:-
ABZ -2.4%/-4.3%
SOU -12.7%/-7.1%
Something seriously wrong with AGS surely, and not just their current employee/management relations?

The planned TS A321LR GLA Winter service (originally planned twice weekly all winter) now listed as only until Dec. Not sure if that means back to A310 for rest of weeks planned operation or reduction.

The flights are certainly still able to be booked in January, and it does state "A310-300" for the aircraft type (as opposed to a blank up to December regarding the type) so it looks like they will be continuing. One of the last chances for many people to fly on an A310 in Europe it would seem!

after the DL pilot stopped for being drunk in the US, a UA flight ex GLA rumoured to be cancelled due to same... seems safegaurd monitoring is alive and well to prevent , though if true, shouldn't be happening in the first place. Mandatory random breathalyser testing must be considered?

Fifth based aircraft from EZY with new BHX route. Scotsman article below, which mentions increase in capacity on existing routes and easyjet saying "EasyJet has selected Glasgow as the focus of its growth in Scotland and we are excited about the future at Glasgow."

Precisely. EZY will operate at the peak, when Flybe make money. Since there won't be any Virgin connections to cross subsidise the route, Flybe will pull out entirely. Fortunately there's a fast train every two hours.

Why are you making that assumption? They compete on Belfast and compete on other routes as well against them from other airports. Only time will tell what happens but I wouldn't just assume that Flybe will pull off the route.

Nice to have a commitment from EZY, but BHX is a weird choice and probably not something GLA needs. Surely better choices/offering than that. LHR if EZY operated there is what is needed if a domestic was to be chosen!
BRU, more CDG, CPH etc would have been better or some TFS. Might still come if indeed the 5th based not just for existing routes.

While it seems odd it does seem to sum up GLA really. We can only assume that EZY has done it's home work and what comes out is the "delights" of BHX. Makes you wonder really where GLA pax sometimes go to but there you have it.
