FlyGlobeSpan Drop New York

GSM are really not doing well at the moment. Saw G-CEJP (B738) depart Manchester for Hamilton this afternoon, not to mention it stopping in Keflavik! Why didn’t they just carry on doing short-hauls, there reviews on flights to Spain etc seem so good, it’s the long-haul that’s ruining there reputation.

Tut Tut and people are always so quick to ‘slag’ off Ryanair.

I agree with you 100% – Ryanair have expanded rapidly over the past few years with no majour problems. Take a look at Flybe, they’ve expanded to quickly and don’t have anoth crew because alot of the BA Connect pilots are leaving!

Just ignore Gkirk, he always likes to create fantasy bad news for Scotland.

GLA-BOS is staying, loads have been good according to GSM and NOC-BOS can only operate with GLA-BOS.

btw, GLA-SFB is a 767.

Would be interested to know your sources for that one…. GLA-BOS will be back for next summer as planned. It was the JFK route that was performing poorly through Knock from LPL not Boston from GLA. Even if it was pulled- perhaps AA will entertain it with a 757 given their recent UK expansion plans.

737-700ER GLA-BOS
737-800 occ GLA-YHM and even SFB 😮

Understand GLA-BOS may not be around for much longer anyway, although NOC-BOS is apparently doing well.

Cheers mate sorry about that.

Read the earlier posts…..the clues are there….:rolleyes:

Does any one know why flyglobespan have got rid of one of there 757s ??

PS Can anyone inform me of the current transatlantic route that GSM are operating a B737 on? Is it GLA-BOS?

One reason it didn’t work was because their just isn’t enough demand for just a LPL – JFK route – COA make it work from various airports around the UK because of their well structured hub at Newark. Alot of COA passengers fly to NY only to transit onwards. Obviously FlyGlobespan didn’t have this facility.

Exactly the point I made in the last thread on this topic.

I don’t know what more to say really, but they’re dropping LPL-NOC-JFK. Poor loads (shocking!) and operational difficulties (understatement of the year) are cited.

I would be lying if I said that surprised me! I think it wasn’t just their loads that were shocking but the way they dealt with the whole situation. FlygGlobespan really did
