Gill Airways

Feel sure the only Gill route from HUY was to CDG for Air France, though they operated a lot of charters to HUY

They set up quite a sizeable operation from Teesside Airport in 1995, expanding from their main Newcastle operation. At first they seemed to take up some of the old Air UK routes when they were merged into KLM. Gill operated from Teesside to Aberdeen & Wick, Belfast, Newcastle and possibly Norwich & Humberside?

Then they set up a daily Paris CDG flight using an Air France colours ATR 42 (G-ORFH).

Sad to see them go in the end. They were one of the first casualties after 9/11.

I have one Gill Airways inflight magazine – ‘Top Flight’ (Summer 1995).

Some interesting stuff in it – mentions their routes, and some thoughts about routes they may operate. There’s one picture in the mag of one of their planes – ATR72 G-BWDB.

There’s a nice advert on the back cover also for ATR.

I can scan it all if you want (34pages, A4). We’ve got a new whizzy photocopier at work which scans pages in a second and emails them to you.

Thanks very much it’d me much appreciated, my email is [email]wozza_1@hotmail.co.uk[/email]

Thanks for that NCLRULES but do you have any actual timetables – that would be the most helpful

RE: Gill Airways

yeah he is – its only because I won’t ‘give’ him my soon-to-open to Virtual Airline. He claims that this major airline that is purchasing the ex real world airline is going to work with him to sue me or something!

RE: Gill Airways

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 05-01-02 AT 09:15 PM (GMT)]I can’t confirm his age, but I know that he is older than me and I’m 16. I’d say he sounds as though he is about 19, although I do find the Irish accent a bit hard to tell with.

Why though, is he threatening to sue you???

RE: Gill Airways

I meant Virtual Airline!

Can anyone confirm the age of andrewm? He has threatened to sue me after he pretended to be a 21 year old lawyer!

Can anyone also confirm the rumour that Gill Airways has been purchased by a ‘major’ airline ??

RE: Gill Airways

thanks for the info,

Can anyoen find their logo which isnt all ‘fuzzy’. Its fuzzy because someone has saved it as a gif via Paint so if anyone has a perfect logo please send it to my hotmail address!

RE: Gill Airways

How do you mean setting up an airline. No one has mentioned setting up an new airline.

Saab 2000 talked about the OLD timetable, and I was speaking about their current “current flights”. I do not know why the code share is still going on. Perhaps the Schiphol database has not been updated yet?
Bare in mind, the flight is conducted by KLM UK, and not by Gill Airways. Obviously, Gill will not be flying anytime soon. Not with F100’s anyway, since they are all stored in Woensdrecht (the Netherlands).

RE: Gill Airways

Can I ask why you are setting up an airline just as I am?

Whats going on here?

Lee Lambert

RE: Gill Airways

According to the Schiphol website Gill airways still has some code sharing flights going. KLM uk/KLM/Gill Airways/Northwest Airlines code share on the Newcastle – Amsterdam flight. Needles to say that the flights are not operated by Gill. They are operated by KLM uk using a F100.
Surprisingly there does not seem to be an flight back to Newcastle. I believe the flight is a daily one,

Arrival at AMS : 12:55
Flightnumbers : UK 2138, KL 2138, NW 5038, 9C 6500
