RE: FIRST SCOTTISH NO FRILLS AIRLINE LAUNCHED
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-11-02 AT 08:58 PM (GMT)]Am I suggesting amateurs are running these airlines? No,I am simply saying that these new airlines are being started up at an excessive rate by the people who seem to see the potential of setting up a new low cost airline.Anybody who has experience is getting on the bandwagon,proof comes with airlines like MyTravel or Palmair or Channel Express.Would you of thought this time a year ago that three charter and cargo airlines would go low cost?Everybody is doing it….
How many loco’s do you think the UK can support?I know it can’t be many more.In the end they will be victim’s of their own success and their demise will be because they have saturated the market. Ryanair,Easyjet and bmibaby all agree that there is only room for 2 or 3 low cost airlines and in the end it will be only the best profit makers and the best financed.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-11-02 AT 04:42 PM (GMT)]So it is right that every Tom,##### and Harry can start a low cost airline and use the old “We think there is market”gag?I have no problem with the likes of Easyjet and Ryanair,but what annoys me is that the everyone thinks they can jump on the band wagon and fly low cost.They all start with good intentions but is there enough passengers for new UK loco’s?
They may of bought travel to the masses but then again don’t BA offer low prices and a 100% better service than the likes of EZY?You can travel cheaper on BA than FR and can get a pleasent service,backup and somewhere near a city.
RE: FIRST SCOTTISH NO FRILLS AIRLINE LAUNCHED
The UK in my opinion is though.There are areas which need low cost airlines,Spain,Portugal and Italy for example but not the UK.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-11-02 AT 09:22 AM (GMT)]Too many new low cost airlines are starting to saturate the market.Is there really a demand for so many new airlines?
When the market reaches it’s maturity in ten years time or so then all these airlines would of gone and we will just have two or three low cost airlines.After all,they are giving us nothing new and once BA’s and other airline message gets through that they offer cheap tickets and a full service, then people will abandon these airlines.
In my mind they will be as successful as Debonair or Ciaofly…made their impression and gone in a year or two.

RE: FIRST SCOTTISH NO FRILLS AIRLINE LAUNCHED
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 08-11-02 AT 07:37 PM (GMT)]Yet another…
Seems like every UK airport must have a low cost airline opertor.Frankly it is becoming rather tiresome.Why must every new UK airline be low cost? What I wouldn’t give for a new traditional UK carrier.
RE: An article worth a read!
Yeah good article.It is unfortunate that the DC-8 was not kept by Air Marshall Islands.The aircraft was leased to help build up a tourist infrastructure principly from the USA,however, the service was stopped because it was too expensive to operate.
RE: Are Air Lib Express getting carried away?
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 08-11-02 AT 04:47 PM (GMT)]They operate 15 MD-83.10 are used by Air Lib Express and the rest are for charter and flights to Algeria.
RE: Pic Of The Day-Yep, thats Russian!
I wouldn’t mind that as my aircrat!Nice picture…
Kabir,do you have any interior pictures of one of our favourite aircraft-the TU-204?
RE: They dont make ’em as pretty as they used to
Air UK operated JER-SOU and JER-STN and summer charters to UK airport in the summer months.They also operated the same routes from Guernsey.I remember travelling GCI-SOU in 1992 with them.
When KLM UK took over Air UK these services were later dropped.
RE: What is your least favorite Airline/Airport experience?
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 08-11-02 AT 04:30 PM (GMT)]Barbados Grantley Adams International.On arival we waited 45 minutes for our luggage,no trolleys,no air-conditioning.Departure loung was small with hardly any seating and no fire escape.Worst airport I have ever been to.
