CANARIAN AIRWAYS IS BORN, THE NEW CANARY AIRLINE https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e....5/16/2708.png
Today Wednesday, the Cabildo of Tenerife hosted the presentation of Canarian Airways, a new air carrier led by hoteliers Tinerfeños and One Airways, which will begin operating from June from Tenerife South Airport with a single 144-seater plane. The new airline will launch from next March the sale and booking of tickets, flying to destinations such as Madrid, Barcelona, Vigo and Bilbao, Glasgow, Cardiff and Berlin. |
ericlday - could I suggest posting about Canarian Airways to the Tenerife thread instead of the Glasgow thread ?

One of the destinations is Glasgow therefore felt it appropriate to post on this site......
|
Quite right
|
I give it a year, if it even gets off the ground
|
Seeing the NCL post re: Corendon flights to AYT and DLM for S22, I see GLA included too. These charter-esque routes seem to come and go. Lets see if they actually transpire as seems fairly big sudden expansion. General population may not be aware unless heavily advertised or linked with tour operator use.
|
EZY trying to wade in on market share on AYT. If they continue S22 will no doubt push Corendon off... feast or famine

Virgin
Have VS pulled GLA to MCO along with BFS, seems like it, always thought it sold quite well.
maybe it’s just rumour |
Have you tried checking their website, tried making a booking?
|
think GLA was always planned to be withdrawn until Easter 2022 at the earliest. No idea about BFS.
|
EasyJet add 2 new winter routes:
• 2x weekly LPA (MON/FRI) • 2x weekly TFS (WED/SAT) I know these operated briefly for a few flights in W20 like EDI but now on sale for next winter too. Edit: • 2x weekly AGA (THU/SUN) |
Nice to see LH to FRA up-gauged to an Airbus from CRJ yesterday
|
How many times has that been tried and dropped over the years along with Marrakesh? They come, they go. The punters have no idea where it is unless prompted by a travel agent. Was a bit like when TUI had to try and flog Cape Verde/Boa
|
Its a shame, but got to agree. Better off sending the aircraft to TFS year round.A guarantee money maker from GLA
|
Nice to see KLM celebrate 75 years of operating from Glasgow Airport(s)
|
Emirates restart Dubai on Monday, 4/weekly until September, then daily.
|
and on the lower density 777LR for the foreseeable
|
Makes sense. Got the new Biz class product on though
|
What is the future for GLA?
I have not been to my home town or airport for nearly two years. Last time I was there I saw a remarkable decline in the airport. Quiet terminal (went through 4 times on separate flights), very few aircraft on the ground, and a general apathy. It actually reminded me of Prestwick many years ago in quiet times.
Carriers and the management team for whatever reason are unable to encourage, motivate and persuade new scheduled blood. Sure we can all point at COVID, but I'm sure it will pass. What then? With Virgin the latest casualty to the east coast has GLA anything more to offer beyond feeding London, Amsterdam and Dublin? Sure there will always be some charter market (although I'm sure it's much less than when I was even a lot younger many years ago now). Emirates must surely despite the investment they put into at GLA must be having a re think or perhaps with market research they may consider EDI as the way forward. I feel sorry for GLA. I also feel that no wonder what the situation is market wise the management team need to be visibly Pro active to encourage carriers to their airport and not just shop retail units. Has any of the shop units closed? |
I agree - even pre-Covid Glasgow was developing a nasty run-down feel. Lots of temporary "fixes" and no overall plan. A great deal of refurbishment and a clear out of old junk and buildings is really needed
