Sorry to go off at a tangent but on the GSM North American web site what do American pax’s see when trying to book Glasgow or Liverpool?? The houses of parliament! Come on couldn’t we find a good enough land mark up north!!
I can just see the look on the Liverpoolion taxi drivers face when the American punter gets in and asks to go to the houses of Parliament!! :E |
It will be like a cartoon with his eyes rolling around with pound signs instead of $.
|
Let me get this right. The GSM 767 lands at SFB on the Weds and sits on the tarmac until Thursday 18.00 for the return. Is it the same crew that brings it back?
|
Icelantic Pilot
Thanks for that. MM |
Yes smith, its the same with the CPT's
|
GSM are really doing themselves no favours at all with long haul pax at MAN. The CPT was cancelled again yesterday after being delayed for 3 hours because of some balls up with a planned tech stop, firstly to be in Accra and then Tenerife.
Get your act together you shower! |
what a/c was being used ? does the 767 not go direct to cpt
|
All depends if thw weather over Africa is ok, if not there is a tech stop in PMI for fuel.
|
Do you guys think/or know if GSM will ever lauch STN-SFB??? Surely it would be a success???

Rumours from here in the uk and from india that the 2nd 767 will be joining the other one in mumbai. must be making them some money
neos are having a 767 in the uk for gsm wonder if any more are coming from somewhere.. |
you dont even know the reasons why.. not gsms fault by the way
I do know the reason actually....I was there and winessed the whole débarcle! |
so you will know it wasnt the fault of gsm.
so dont slag them of, its there first few months of ops at manchester people want more routes options, give them a chance. people love to shoot them down before they get going |
Ok and who's fault was it then
|
One week messed up due to the weather/fueling problem, and one week due to the a/c being tech once in SFB then in GLA then on the way to YYZ.
If GSM had subbed out the flight when the a/c went tech in SFB we wouldn't be even having this conversation. As for the second 767 going to air india, i cant see that happening as there summer program is to big for one 767 unless the program is going to be reduced again... YHM could be the casulty again. Although one 767 op hasnt proved to be a wise desion in the past few weeks... |
They're leasing one from Neos to cover for the second B763ER going on lease to Air India, they're also getting one from Icelandair.
|
Hmm i knew the one from Air NewZeland was late, i guess it was to late for GSM.
|
Is it more financially benificial for GSM to lease their own 767 out to AIC and lease another in to operate their own services, than operate their own services with their own aircraft (if you see what I mean)? Its the same with bmi who lease their A330 to Virgin Nigeria then lease a foreign 767 in its place! Strange.
Anyway, any truth in LPL-MCO and LPL-BOS starting when GSM have enough airyplanes? Cheers! |
I see from the GSM website that they are recruiting for Cabin Crew at LGW.
Anybody know if this will be a temp Summer base, or something longer term ? |
Gsm / Ilfc
Any truth in the rumour that there is currently a disagreement between ILFC and GSM regarding the acquisition of the latest B737-700
|
Oh great, ILFC appear to be holding back Flyg's first B73GW over some disagreement. I was hoping they'd send one of those to the MME base, despite the rumours that MME will get a B736 and a B738W. :(

Re: G-MSJF
Hi,
Cant be that much of a problem, the aircraft is sitting at Glasgow now, arrived at 0540 hrs on Saturday morning from Boeing Field! Cheers |
Now seems MME is getting 2x 737-300's from Globy.
|
Now seems MME is getting 2x -300's from Globy. |
Yes indeed, 767's would be lovely but no way would that happen ;) That would wipe out the whole fleet of 767's for the summer!
|
Not forgetting Liverpools 757-200.
|
Hi GLAGAZ
I don't see Paphos (PFO) in your list of flights for the 738W grom GLA? I know this is operating as I'm booked in April. Flight time changed though from mid-afty to 6pm as has been the case in previous years. |
In reply to your post GLAGAZ, i think MAN will op a 767 for most of the week to Calgary/Vancouver, the YHM was going to be a 757, but not sure it may still go on 767.
Although GSM's web site you can book via the low fare finder but not on the Flight finder. Might be reading to much into it but there are 2 YYZ options up to the 30th. :confused: YYZ route has been doing well, with larger loads than the CPT so not sure why they would pull it. |
No probs. It is quite some list though for just one aircraft, especially with 2 long-hauls (YHM & BOS). How is all this to be scheduled? Hate to think of the consequences if it goes tech!!
|
The Western Canada flights are to be operated by one Boeing 767 operating on a W style pattern, see my earlier post for thr routings.
YYC & YVR Flights -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ive been looking at the YVR & YYC flights from GLA, MAN & LGW and the flight times sugest these routes will be operated by the one Boeing 767. It operates as follows:- Monday :- GLA - YVR, YVR - YYC - LGW Tuesday :- LGW - YYC - YVR, YVR - MAN Wednesday :- MAN - YVR, YVR - LGW Thursday :- LGW - YVR, YVR - YYC - GLA Friday :- GLA - YYC - YVR, YVR - YYC - MAN Saturday :- MAN - YYC - YVR, YVR - LGW Sunday :- LGW - YVR, YVR - GLA |
I hear a B738W configured with just 150 seats will operate GLA-BOS, the one leased from Travel Service Airlines perhaps?
|
No it's the newest B738 that will come configed with 150ish seats, don't think TVS would allow their crews to go to BOS :confused:
|
The new 73G arrived at GLA, link to a picture:

What's happening with GSM this summer? Sending aircraft on lease, cancelling future leases, is this a hint that they're in trouble?
|
I think there's a ton of money to be made in India at the moment. Too many routes opening up and not enough drivers and crews for them.
If you can't hire drivers for your own metal, the only other option is ACMI which can be profitable for the lessor. Air India will also have a lot of people doing conversion at the moment as their new 777s get delivered. |
Thats all fair enough leaseing there 767 to Air India to make some cash, but according to jethros fleet listings the 767 lease from Iceland air has gone will the 757's as well, so the question is what is going to operate the MAN-YHM, MAN-YYC, LPL-JFK, and also the SFB route (although that has been oped on a 737 b4 hmm nice...)
Getting close to these new routes and no aircraft to op them :ugh: |
The summer schedules begin in 23 days, they're gonna be hard pushed to find suitable equipment in such short notice.
|
Does anybody know who is operating the BFS-YHM flights this summer. On the OAG website, it says that FlyZoom will be operating the flights. Is this true?
|
No this is not true, the BFS- YHM originates in STN. STN - BFS - YHM.
|
Zoom operate to Pearson YYZ from BFS, in addition to YVR
