KU1320 now enroute GLA-KWI. Any ideas for the reason for this flight? MAN thread suggests they have 3 x repatriation flights there. Are there that many Kuwaitis in Scotland?

Could be a fair few students at the various Universities in Glasgow, Edinburgh, St Andrews etc

BA operated a cargo only 777-300 flight to GLA yesterday. That will be a fair old amount to offload esp if cabin used too.

United have cancelled EWR service for 2020.

Think that was announced early in May

EK resume DXB flight from 15 July. 4 x weekly 77W initially on the lunchtime flight - Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

An nice unusual visitor of an Air India 777-200LR tonight into GLA in a one-off flight. Perhaps cargo related.
I think there were rumours in the 90’s around the time of PK flights of a direct Air India GLA passenger flight but would have been a long shot.

Bollywood film crew around 100 pax, plus equipment for filming in Scotland.

Lots of nice pics and videos. Back out late to BOM today. Shame unlikely to be seen again.
AI aircraft always look so grubby. They should have chosen bright white instead of off cream. Improved BA livery when they did it.
Speaking of AI, hope the 738 Kerala death count doesn’t rise any further.

Its heading back to Delhi

Interestingly appears on Flight Radar as ‘Diverted to Delhi’ as originally (up until last night) flight planned to return to BOM.

I seen something on a Facebook post, cant find it just now, that suggests Air India changed it to Delhi last night and put the flight on sale

I bet there was a real scramble of punters trying to book that service...
(How would anyone even know about it outwith repatriation consulate sorts?!)

Unsurprisingly that can be summed up in just 2 words, Air India, they do things in very odd ways

aside from the paint job, it probably was grubby... can’t speak for long haul but out of every domestic carrier I have been on in India, they were hands down the worst (mostly because it was grubby!). Jet (rip!), IndiGo, SpiceJet and Vistara all much better

FlyBe code share still in the system !

THIS ! and only in FR24 .

Same for rogue Delta codeshares popping up from cancelled FLYBE KLM and Air France flights

Air Transat
 

Toronto is to combine with Manchester, Glasgow to Toronto (via Manchester) to take 10.5 hours, in an A321.
