Great news if it’s true!
The second UK order after First Choice – this could be a popular replacement for the charter airlines’ fleets of 757/767.

flyGlobespan are leasing 2 from ILFC, this was announced a week or so ago.

757 maybe, but a 738 would drop into the water just short of the USA

Boeing.com Maximum Range 3,060 nautical miles (5665 km)

Great Circle Mapper

From To Distance
GLA (55°52’19″N 04°25’59″W) BOS (42°21’52″N 71°00’19″W) 4876 km

Time

5:51

That is with a 120 min ETOPS route. Bearing in mind GSM’s 738’s have winglets, I think it could quite easily make GLA-BOS, obviously wind dependant. GSM did GLA-HRG last year which was also a 5 hour + flight.

I don’t think the 737 will fly the route, but I think it can.

To ask a question I asked on another thread… Will the 739ER have suitable ETOPS rating for say a leg like GLA-BOS ?

ETOPS isn’t a qualification type thing for each airfract type (although I think Boeing are now proudcing ETOPS ready aircraft?). Most modern twin engined jets can get some form of ETOPS if teh airline wants it. So if GSM want to fly GLA-BOS on a 738W then there won’t be much of a problem in getting the aircraft certified, assuming its not already.

*I’m 99% certain on that but if theres something incorret then please feel free to point it out*

Really good shots Robert. Out of interest, where were you standing for the EK and what lens were you using?

Gaz

any one find it a bit odd how this guy just shows up when the thread starts??

Its not hard. A link was posted to flysunjet’s website, you can just track who is visiting the site. So obviously he (or someone in his team) have noticed this forum and decided to say hello.

For example if you are a photographer on A.net and someone posts a link to your photo on another website, you can see where it was posted. I can even see where my EDI forum has been linked month by month.

No, GLA-LAS is operating for the first time this year after switching from PIK. I think it is operating for 5 weeks doing MAN-GLA-LAS-GLA-MAN.
