The 753 is capable of GLA-BOS. The range of a 753 is about 3200 miles in non ER version I think. ( 3900 for 752)

It has been suggested that if NW decide to employ 757’s on some transatlantic routes that a return to GLA is not out of the question.

The stronger of the long haul rumours would appear to suggest an AA 757 service from GLA-BOS? I’ve also heard the NWA rumours and as has been suggested elsewhere, perhaps a 753 might ply the route?

Is a 753 capable of those distances ?

How is it rubbish?
NWA’s hub in europe is AMS. Just like BA’s hub is Heathrow.
Many airlines, including NWA, EK, BA, KLM and more operate on a hub and spoke system.

Therefore NWA will problably allow KLM flights from all over europe feed into their AMS operations.

So tell me, how is this rubbish?

Not being aggressive in any way, shape or form, in my opinion. Again, he was just asking a question, that was answered a little bit later. How about we cut the guy some slack, for crying out loud? 😡 He’s been on his best behavior since coming back from bannishment. He doesn’t need to be slapped on the wrist any time he disagrees with a post. As we say in Greece, “EIPAME!!”

I think the next long haul will be AA GLA-BOS or GLA-JFK.

Probably GLA-BOS out of those two. No direct competition to BOS

Before the tie up with KLM in the mid 90’s, NW operated GLA-BOS and before that PIK-BOS. They decided it was more lucrative at the time for them to route their pax via AMS and use the DC-10 on routes to and from Japan.

It has been suggested that if NW decide to employ 757’s on some transatlantic routes that a return to GLA is not out of the question.

My question answered. Thank you.

Don’t bring me into your EDI vs GLA clan war….. :rolleyes:

It was a genuine question.

If NWA won’t operate MAN, then logically they won’t do GLA either.
