Servisair still have TCX at GLA.

Unfortunately theres no VS Domestic service at GLA for the time being as that would have covered the shortfall from losing TOM.

Lufthansa id imagine will go to Menzies.

Things will probably be alright at GLA until the end of october. Who knows what will happen then, although it is a long time away.

Kazzie it was Menzies who got it at GLA.

Thanks BB, Found out this morning when I got in...

LH, Well I would imagine menzies as well considering we handle diversions for LH, BUT it us being operated under Euro Wings.. So could be a contract up for tender.

Again, Good luck to everyone come next October.. Hopefully something will come along and save everyone at Servisair.

And I know Virgin Domestic are not coming to GLA (Unfortunately) I meant MAN in reply to 750XL

Jet2 have been doing their own pax services for some time now. They've recently started to employ their own 'Dispatchers' who are present on every turn, however, they are not yet approved for AAA, therefore, Menzies are still providing Dispatchers and Loadcontrol/Ops as required. The Ramp contract has been extended with Menzies to December I believe.

Whats going on??

Servisair management have cancelled all meetings with union reps. for the "foreseable future" at MAN. Also Mr Abderaman El-Aoufir (CEO) is coming to the UK & arranged a meeting with certain reps very soon. Rumour is Servisair or part of it have been bought by DNATA...... FINGERS CROSSED!

Servisair Cargo have the Emirates Cargo contract. Rumour has it that it is up for renewal soon. Dnata have purchased all of the ex Menzies Cargo stations around the UK. But Dnata have the Etihad Cargo contract which again is up for contract renewal time. Can Etihad and Emirates share the same Dnata Cargo shed? All very interesting goings on. Any updates?
