Strange!
I'd heard that we had been asked by palmair to slot in where EAC had been, but it was not cost effective. That was a couple of days ago and there are a couple of, very cheap to us, -300's gathering snow and ice, so.... Thought Jet2 were doing it now? gflynorw - what details do you have? ie length of contract, I assume it'll be a wet ACMI?? I understand that our WY contract has been further extended. Good news there then! Also, with KD now sold and KT to be leaving us - anything more on further airframes? Other than a 76 as noted above, last I'd heard it was a couple of -800's but that's gone all quiet! |
Too many ACMI and not enough selling of our own seats......
Smells like fattening up ready for a sale! |
LJ,
Any idea who? Flybe seem to be on a role for world domination....:eek: Doubt he's fattening his goose - well, not those you and I push through the sky... |
I'm not saying it's anyone in particular! I'm no expert, but these ACMIs seem to be short term gain for the airline! I do, however, hear we have been up for sale for some time now.....

acmi's
Short term ACMI'S are better than having the aircraft sitting on the ground all winter costing money.
Brings a lot of money into the company |
I fully understand sending the 767s away as there's not enough winter trade for them, but the downsized 737 fleet?????
None of the 737s should be on the ground. Are you really saying that the credit crunch has hit us so hard that we can't sell our own seats anymore?? |
acmi's
Credit crunch has hit everyone, better to downsize the fleet and remain profitable then expand again when the economy recovers.
|
Well the 737-300's and 600's are off!
Flyglobespan Thank Jethros! Surely GSM are going to get a couple of replacements in or will it just be 7 737's for S09 then? Anyone heard anything? |
Has anyone heard anything about the deal that Palmair may have done with Flyglobespan about leasing an aircraft from them to operate there schedules from Bournemouth from January using 737 aircraft but Palmair cabin crew on board ( doubt very much it would be a 737 800 as to big for the Palmair operation )
Would this lease impact on there own operation from various airports or do they intend to bring back an existing 737 that may possibly be off elsewhere Palmair have a very successful operation from Bournemouth operating to Tenerife , Palma , Lanzarote , Fuerteventura , Funchal , Monastir , Faro , Brescia , Mahon , Corfu , Naples , Rhodes this year a very busy programme |
Er.... Yes... looking at post #106.......
Palmair thread claims it's our 1 remaining B736 (G-CDKT), which was to be sold off. More fuel efficient than EAL's old -200, but can the -600 do TFS & FUE witout tech stops? They did struggle from STN! Palmair operate year round with their own cabin crew, so look out for a BOH base for GSM pilots only!?? |
Djibouti
Any truth in the rumour of operating the Dallo Airlines contract LGW/CDG/JIB ?
was a AEU contract on the B757 some time back |
Flyglobespan are asking for 737 trained cabin crew volunteers to operate hajj flights on behalf of Dallo Airlines over the xmas and new year period with a £350 bonus. Contract not signed yet.

Glasgow-Halifax
GSM released weekly direct flights from GLA to Halifax, Summer 09 starting May 09 departing Wed.
Picking up the extra capacity from Zoom. Wonder if there is more to come to fill the ex-Zoom A/C that GSM are to receive for S09. |
Markeyd. Jet2 have the Palmair contract till end of March 09 and also doing the JIB with a B757 for Dallo. Think GSM will start the Palmair in APR 09,but guess RYR will then increase activity against BT and dump seats on the same routes ?
|
What is Halifax being operated on - a B757 or B767?
I cant see FR starting BOH-Monastir of BOH-Rhodes some how. Palmair will still be Palmair, just a different aircraft and pilots. So no increase of competition. Just a new operator for an existing programme of flights |
Good to see relauch of Halifax, maybe Ottawa?
Could be GSM are planning on using 3 767-300's S09 or another 752 we don't know of yet. Will have to wait and see! :) Anything on a couple of new additions to short-haul fleet? Is the delay in GSM taking over Palmair ops being incured on GSM's side of things or because Jet2 were offering a better deal till the end of march? |
Can a B737 do GLA-Halifax non-stop?
|
do you guys think it would be possible that GSM would do Glasgow-Halifax without a layover for crew in there ? It's only 6 hours ish and the whole trip is shorter than Edinburgh-Sharm El Sheikh that they do everyweek... but there is a time difference of 4 h between Glasgow and Halifax where Egypt is only 2 h.. dunno, i;m not that good with flight time limitations... but wouldn't like to do this flight if it's there and back....
