Glasgow: The UK's Transatlantic gateway

1am monday, now. :/

I understand that all UK airpsace including Scotland is now closed untill 7pm Saturday.
Info from SKY News

Looks like most of these flights have now cancelled as MAN is opened for a few Hours Gla Showing Only 1 BA 747 Due ,The First PIK BA T7 over flew and was heading South at 5000ft ,
just had conformation that the G-ZZZC did land at PIk and G-BYGB BAW 176 in bound PIK at 0724

No sorry buddy… Saturdays do tend to be quite quiet though.

Do you know of any other aircraft to be into PIK tommorow mate?

I might try and get to PIK in the morning tommorow, but i think i have alot to do at night, so i still dunno if i’ll be able to.
thanks for the advice tartan. (:

Kriss: if you were coming down you would get a train to Glasgow then change to Paisley Gilmour Street, you could walk in 10 mins or get a bus from the train station.
I reckon that PIK will be busier of the 2…more room to dump heavies around. If you wanted to go to PIK again train to Glasgow and change to train to Prestwick..the station is at the airport.
Gonna get up early and try catch the first 2 lumps arriving.

Woah what a great day for GLA.
Wish i could go, since i don’t have a car, and never been to GLA on the train i have no idea where to go. XD

Some flights i have found so far are:
At Prestwick:
BA184 777 pta 0630
BA176 747 pta 0740
BA268 747 pta 1530
Glasgow Int’l:
BA174 747 pta 0705
BA182 747 pta 1040
BA284 747 pta 1100
Aberdeen
BA102 767 pta 1325
There will prob be more i only done a quick check on BA.com.
Busy day of heavies at the local:D hope the top weather keeps up..
Newforest: Yes i will… woohoo!!:D

it makes sence to do that but how do they get there aircraft to Glasgow or Prestwick.
OK so they will have aircraft in the states stranded.
But will they have enough to do anything other than a token offering.

Should have said Paul.. it is aircraft coming from the states that are already there. Not just Glasgow BA102 from Calgary a 767 is due at Aberdeen!!! Long bus ride that!

There will probably be long waits, so i’m not sure.
There is quite a few heavies parked up at GLA.
Turns out that most flights to and from Scottish and N.Ireland flights will be open for business at 7pm tonight.

I’ve been tracking most of the flights going into glasgow just today, theres two Iceland air 757’s going in, TF-FIV and TF-FIX which is a 753. Should be on final any second now. The transatlantic flights going into glasgow, will probably have to fly at a lower flight level.

Wish i could make it on saturday. D;

It just so happens I am in Glasgow this weekend for a family party , so I could make it ,if it is worth while.

A shame that the strike didn’t coincide with this distruption. 😀
