Looks like this will be GCEOD, which is on lease to Air Calin until late November.

...... And is available for ACMI until needed for Canada routes in June.

Look out for more ACMI news soon though.

More Acmi
 

Looks like we've secured a further MOD contract to cover another B763ER through to end of May 09.

GSM is looking forward to an even more successful S09 with more profit!

Anyone know whether these are Santa flights??

I'm wondering if it's on the 75 or 73....

Rumours of a further B763ER for S09.

Fleet will remain as follows for S09:

B763ER 4
B752ER 1
B738s 5
B736 1
B73G 2
B733 2 (lease extended)

Also may be plans for further short-haul fleet added.

According to Jethro's its an Ex Zoom a/c.
I think all 5 are still in storage so could be any one.
Is this new a/c to expand scheduled routes or for more Charter contracts?

Still no flights for Durham Tees though no doubt.

I guess they are hoping the MOD UID/BAH contract is ongoing....

Aren't both 736's being kept?

Most likely there will still only be 2 763's kept in the GSM fleet next summer. With other 2 on lease, though you never know they may keep 3.

Hopefully we will see another 752 and 1 or 2 more 737's! :ok:

Did I not see an EX Globespan 737-600 in Eastar Jet colours in Airways, Apparently they operate in Korea

Sale supposidly fell through!

736
 

There are no 600's left in the fleet, 300's will also go at the end of January.

Looks like a sensible plan then. Dump the older 737s and standardise on the B737-700 and -800s. Get out of Teesside, because......well frankly you would if you had the chance.
Focus on the long haul program on your own 767 / 757 metal and boost the coffers with ACMI on the other 767 over the summer. Under the circumstances, that's all we ought to be hoping for and let the fan boys shelf the world domination pipe dreams until the storm is over.

Sale of the 600 has gone through, saw the aircraft on the ground at Muscat this morning.

It was on a layover en-route Korea.

Quite surprisd to see GSM are actually aquireing another 763!
MME is definetley gone! I thought 733's are going to chillie for forseeable future bringing in the cash! Sure ly GSM are going to get some replacement a/c for all the olders 737's they are disposing of.

4567

Why so suprised to see another 767 coming? IMHO they need a total of 5 763ER's & 2 B752's as well as standising on the B737-700/738's & staying away from the B739.

After speaking to mates of mine that flew the B739 at XL before their demise the B739 struggled to make LGW & MAN from Egypt. If they can't make Southern or Central UK airports, then they won't make Scottish ones. No B737 of any series can do the job of a B752 or offer its level of flexibility.

4th 767 is due in 03-05/09 apparently.
:ok:

If they are doing so well, why the need to keep harping on about it here?
Permenantly reshuffling kit, relying on MOD work (Very dodgy unless you are the lowest of the lowest bidder everytime) are no the sort of signs that would have me buying a house in wilmslow at 5 times a salary dependant on the above.

Having had much experience of MOD and other large charters be advised that civil servants dont care about performance, only price. There are many more Omnis out there and ruthless to the point of corruption allegedly.

Id feel safer sending my kid to a sleep over with gazzer and jacko.

So If Im wrong no need to keep proving it on here is there?:ugh:

Everyone thats gone under so far had plenty of work .

Bush? Bolox!!!! says it all really !!! does someone really need to explain the use of this site to you? I would suggest if you don't want to read or hear about flyglobespan (good or bad) don't come on the thread. This site is for (what I believe should be) substantiated rumours good and bad and information for people who are interested in a particular subject.

Some people still seem more interested in Globespan bashing than saying anything constructive, so to suggest people shouldn't post what they feel is good news or information on what is a rumour site is frankly ridiculous.

And Bush - the procurement cycle of the MoD has changed somewhat to what you infer.

VFM - which means meeting the specification and delivering Key performance Indictors and operating under Partnering arrangements are requirements for down selection amongst many others. This is also especially so when considering vital air bridge operations.

Ofcourse price plays a vital role with VFM solutions - however customer (and Industry) expectations need to be assessed in terms of delivering the output and assessing the risk.

GSM would have been well scrutinised and assessed for this vital role that they now participate in - and ofcourse there could be issues (although I understand that the customer experience and level of satisfaction) albeit early days in somewhat commendable to the operator.
