I also hear 2x763 from NEOS for S08. (SFB & West Canada). The 752 should be doing Hamilton runs and the 763 from SB is doing the MOD contract for now.

There are currently no plans for transatlantic 737s for S08

The two Neos 767's are not confirmed. The Air India contract expires in May and at the moment GSM's own 767's are scheduled to return to the fleet. However there is a possibility that the AI leases may be extended and until this decision is made there is no need for the Neos lease.

Currently, there is no requirement for a 757 until March

Business Class seats?
 

A family member of mine and a group of his friends have booked on a GLA-SFB flight in september, and have booked the flight back in business, however, in the last few days, GSM have called us to tell us that they are cutting down business class from 24 to 12 on their 763 currently. Are they leasing other aircraft or just getting rid of 2 rows from their current 763's. Are they doing this for all the Calgary/Vancouver flights as well then?

And GSMs chopping and changing continues.....will they never learn..?
Sounds suspiciously like a 757 with that config......new engines anyone ?

Change in Business class
 

The guy from GSM has booked the group on the way out(in economy) in row 3, which would suggest it is a 763 as there are now only 2 rows in business and 12 seats. They have been very good with the situation and have al least told us in good time so people volunteered to downgrade, and recieved the difference in price and a £50 GSM voucher, which isnt too bad.

Neos 767 biz config Summer 07
 

These were in 24 seat config last summer....and very good it was too YVR-LGW. My flights with them were faultless but I know others had problems!

The 757s had more than 12 seats in biz last year also.

Can a 757-200 do GLA to SFB in one hop? We did this on the NEOS 767 last September and it was a good service. Premium economy out and business back (they changed the flights 3 times so I got them to upgrade). Had row 4 coming back, 767 was 4 rows of 2-2-2 in business.
Booked to go back March 1st and have been following this thread with interest.
I suspect we are in for a re-fuelling stop somewhere. Am I right?

Did Glasgow-Orlando years ago on a B757 of Air 2000 without any stopping en-route. Think it was "meant" to stop at Gander but guess was pushed by the tail down. Anyway with favourable conditions and maybe not a full load its possible.

Have Flyglobespan still got there slots at Boston logan airport ?

No Fly BROKESpan
 

I hear that theyre on thin tenderhooks with Boston Logan Authority over some unpaid taxes but a meeting due soon with TD as hes heading over soon. incidentially met Tom recently and air india may extend 6 months with FG n PT but at the moment no decision re OD.

The Engine that came to pieces on 767 in Heathrow last year after someone reengaged the starter before n2 reduced has finally been repaired.

JM shoould have been sorted out by now but who knows?????????

ETOPS still NOT allowed or approved.

It sure offers outstanding legroom!! :ok:

Were are the 737-700's and 737-300's going to be based for summer 2008 ?

B73Gs 1 at EDI, 1 at ABZ. B733s 1 at GLA and 1 at MME.

Gla-Prg?
 

Has GSM dropped the Glasgow-Prague link after end of March 08?

Jethro, I understand that G-CDPT's lease to AIC expires this spring but will most likely be extended. G-CEFG's lease at AIC doesn't expire until the Autumn.

NEOS will be asked back. (1 or maybe 2 767s.)

The 757 should be back in GLA anytime now and will be used as a backup for the 73s for Feb/March. The S08 SFB is 2 class only and is being sold as our 757 config, with business and premium economy seats.
It seems that no final decisions have been made for S08 yet, but we are told that there are no plans this year to send 737s transatlantic......... But then again!!

Nivsy, It looks like GLA-PRG is off the menu for S08. (As it was from June 07). Looks like it's a winter route for GSM now.

Regards,

LJ

Yes it is now back in GLA, but I understand it is AOG.

jethro

So will GLA be having 5 737-800's and 1 737-300 based for S08 with a 767 operating SFB ?

Not sure how many will be at GLA, but there will still be at least 1 in Kuala Lumpur this summer, operating for GMG.
