As reported Globespan are expanding across the pond to SFB next year with ex Air New Zealand 767 300 aircraft.Anyone have any knowledge of which fleet number(s) are being aquired?

new daily Edinburgh - Bournemouth route starts 26th March 2006.
I've just booked a BOH-EDI one way for Good Friday. £0.99 plus Tax and Charges giving a total of approx £20.

All flights bar the Thursday were showing at £0.99 (Thursday was £10.99). This would suggest that forward bookings are not that great.

As I said in my original reply the timings are not good for a single daily rotation.

Domestic routes tend to be late bookings. So it's not time to worry just yet. Wait until a month beforehand and if its still like that then the route will be in trouble.

Fingers crossed.:ok:

With the launch of the AMS service being postponed, does this suggest that the traffic from Scotland to AMS is perhaps peaking. With Transavia starting service to PIK, the competition is intense on this route.

Random search on internet for flights GLA-AMS-GLA 22-25 April:
KLM £95.50
GSM £51.58
(Including taxes)

According to PIK's statement, Transavia fares will be "from just £33.75 one-way, including taxes". Return of minimum £67.50 puts them right in the middle of the previous two.

Should be interesting to see how this all develops. KLM obviously have the connecting traffic, not just from the Glasgow area, whilst the former EZY customers should be snapped up by Flyglobespan and Transavia. Anyone else think this route will be hard to sustain?

Well done FlyGlobespan, taking on Athens from STN, when ESY declined .
ESY pulled out of Rome when FR started, will ESY also pull out of Glasgow?
As for long haul ref. PAMANN, GLAGAZ has stated that there is a 762 slot
at STN from April.

Athens is right on the limits for loco profitability in terms of distance. GLA is a solid route so you won't see us pulling off it ar all.

Has anybody noticed that GSM do not have STN-GLA and STN-EDI on sale for Summer 06?

Moreover, frequency has been reduced from 2 to 1 daily on STN-GLA, which is, in all honesty, a token product.

These routes are very competitive markets after all with a lot of low-cost competition. On STN-GLA the 3 largest LCCs (Ryanair, easyJet and Air Berlin) offer services!.

Does this spell the end for GSM's 'pseudo feeder plans' between Scotland and Stansted?

What's worse is that it actually goes down to 1x weekly in February!!

I'm not sure what is going, but after just cancelling most of the GLA-STN schedule and combining the GLA and STN-GVA flights a week or two ago, they are now about to start combining the EDI and GLA-BCN flights. I have no idea why though, BCN is their most popular destination. There are no aircraft shortages either, yet.... :confused:
Lots of combining/cancelling going on just now but for no apparent reason. Must be something going on behind the scenes...

How is Athens on the limit when they already fly a regular service to Paphos (& should have 1 flight a week, at least, from EDI!) and also do charters to Egypt? Would also be interested to know which 767's they are getting.

Long haul out of STN will gain a weekly Z4 service to YHZ via GLA using a 763 from 04/04/06, scheduled for a 12 month run.
