Air Scotland
This morning, Air Scotland claim to have "rescheduled" their flights on the "W" operation GLA-AGP-MAN-AGP-GLA operation. GRE 2711 was due to depart GLA at 05.40....it´s still on the ground and it´s 09.00! Passengers are only finding out about this "reschedule" after check in. The airline claim it is not a delay.
What a disgrace.
Now airborne at 09.21 from GLA.
Looks like a clear attempt not to provide any form of refreshments or compensation.

A week later and nothing has changed for the aircraft flying the GLA-AGP-MAN-AGP-GLA "W" pattern for this airline today.
6 hours down on this rotation. More claims of reschduled flight times.
People need to beware of these Greeks wearing kilts!!!!
Totally unreliable and economical with the truth.

Greece Airlines trading as Air Scotland.
Greek registerd aircraft and Greek crews.
The Monday flight GLA-ATH always leaves on time though.

I have some friends out here at AGP on holiday at present, and they have this week received an email from Air Scotland advising them of the cancellation of their return flight to MAN on 27th August.
The email has no apparent reference to what the airline proposes to do to get them home, and calls to the "customer service" number back in the UK are constantly met with an engaged tone.
A quite appaling situation as they are now faced with the choice of going to Malaga Airport on the date and seeing what happens - not appealing as they have two young children, one of whom is disabled, or trying to come up with a large sum for alternative flights.
A little web research reveals that Air Scotland is exempt from the requirement of an ATOL licence as the parent company is Greek. Does anyone know whether Air Scotland are likely to help these people in any way?

Air scotland r a joke, we were meant to fly with them from Belfast to Gerona, 2nd Sept, with daytime flight times.
Just got a letter saying due to the fact they are a plane down they have rescheduled the flight to 3rd Sept at 7pm-ish and now our return flight is at midnight. We have an 1yo infant going with us. so we cancelled and have to pay more to go on 1st Sept to Barcelona instead with Jet2.
TOTAL JOKE, DONT FLY AIR-SCOTLAND or GREECE AIRWAYS or whoever the hell they call themselves.

Try phoning their "travel partner", Sunways Holidays 0870 241 6162 and see what they have to say.
The MAN service appears to have cease after the flight on the 13th August if you try booking flights, although their schedule doesn't show this.
CANCEL THE ABOVE CONTACT DETAIL
I have obtained a phone number for Air Scotland 041 222 2363 Fax 0141 222 2362
There is also a strange email address [email protected]
Good luck, as the phone gets hung up after one ring!
PM me and let me know the outcome.

Mmm, fair point, wub... 
According to ACAS, since June 16 their fleet consists of a single 1989 A320 (SX-BLX, MSN 0029) leased from SALE (picture).
I guess they're too busy delighting their passengers to update the website.
