The Doncaster and Cardiff route has been axed, the aircraft that was due to operate the flights was stuck in Beruit so they have juggled the existing fleet for Donny in August but the remainder of the season is scrapped. I had 18 bookings on the flights in September and we were advised by Sunways today, so I’m not a happy chappy today 😡
I also heard this, on another forum from someone who had their flight cancelled, but the fact is that the aircraft turned up on Sunday and did the flight. It appears that it arrived from Belfast, then out to Girona, so looks like it is now planned for a split load.

Cheers guys. Was just wondering if they had any partners as i havent seen any advertising for the route anywhere except these forums.

They use Sunways Holidays as a partner, if this helps?

So how many, and what types of aircraft are they operating?
Also what tour operator is using them for the GRO flights, they also start CWL-GRO next was fri (Was supposed to be last fri but was non-op)
Dont think they use a tour operator, they are a scheduled airline so all flights get booked on their website or by calling their call centre.

A320 x 2 AFAIK ?
The 757 went to Jet 2 eventually.

The Greece Airways aircraft is SX-BLX which is an ex Jordanian A320 and completely white apart from it’s registration (yuck).
The lack of a paint scheme is reflected in their being only 6 pictures of it on Airliners so far and none of them are from it’s frequent visits to Glasgow and Prestwick.

There’s probably a lot more GLA/PIK photos of innocent aircraft bearing it’s reflection Fred… 😀

Are Greece Airways/Air Scotland planning on changing their name to Topjet Airways as they announced a few weeks back? I’m not too sure Thomas Cook may like them using their callsign as a name :rolleyes:
