I’m pleased to see AA have resumed their Glasgow- Chicago route after some doubt as to it’s viability. A daily 767 service, as before has returned for the summer season.
I think I’ll head to the end of runway 23 this week and try for my own pics of this beauty ! 😀

The only year round transatlantic flight from GLA is CO to EWR (I think the flight number actually continues on to LAX, now but as has been said, it’s probably not even the same a/c for the domestic leg), and that operates with a 757 during the winter (762 during Spring and Autumn, with the 764 operating during the summer).
My girlfriend took the Continental GLA-LAX twice last year and it was a 737-400 from Newark to LA. GLA-EWR was 757-200 first time and 767-200 next time, always a 732 EWR-LAX though.

Continental have put the 767-400 on the Newark- Glasgow route this week, replacing the 767-200.
I’ve never seen a 400 before I don’t think ? Very nice looking bird though…

News today that BA will place its code on all flights from Chicago to Manchester and Glasgow with AA being able to place its code on destinations in the UK, Europe and Africa plus the BA New York flight from Manchester.
Flybe. codeshare with Continental and Delta from a few of the UK airports. Quite convinient for people in the Channel Islands and Belfast as they can connect on to the flights through one ticket same with them at Southampton for the European flights, plus you can get the BE FF miles on Continental so it works out quite good. I would see them as a Skyteam associate member in the future.

Apparently, there’s not that much need for Scheduled nonstop services from Glasgow…

The other summer only service is Air Canada 762 to YYZ.
As far as the codesharing with BA/AA goes, wasn’t that supposed to be from all UK airports, except the London ones? But I’ve looked at the BA website, and there’s no direct flight listed from GLA to ORD, they only quote me going via LHR, so maybe teh codeshare never happened?
Incidentally, talking of codeshares, the CO flight to Newark also has a flybe. flight number. 😮

I’ve never understood why the service can’t be viable year round. GLA/ORD should be able to survive year round with a daily service.

That is going to be a codeshare with BA is it not? Yippy at last Oneworld doesn’t seem to be so much of a joke across the Atlantic!
