RE: BA LGW-GCI news for Saab 2000

Further argument to Guernsey getting an extension on the runway!

The Guernsey schedules at the momenmt are:
Flybe:Exeter, Gatwick, Birmingham, Southampton

Aurigny: Amsterdam, Dinard, Jersey, Alderney, East Midlands, Manchester and soon Bristol.

British Airways: Gatwick

Le Cocqs: Bournemouth (Application to the CAA)

Swiss: Zurich

VLM: Scheduled flights to some European destinations in the summer.

The largest aircraft GCI recieves regulaely is the BAe 146, however, SATA have operated the 737 into GCI on charters to Funchal.

RE: Favourite Soviet Built Aircraft?

It is good to see a posotive topic about Soviet aviation for once!

Anyway, I also like the TU-154. It is unequivocally the best selling Soviet aircraft and the workhorse of Soviet airlines. It is rugged, reliable, has a good range, has been an utter success and is definitely a real aircraft when you see all the smoke billowing out of it, why don’t they make them how they used to? :7

RE: BA Fleet news that may interest some of you.

LH 735s operated in the summer months up to three years ago. There were Saturday charters from Frankfurt and Sunday charters from Dusseldorf, which in the two remaining years of the service became an RJ-85.
The flights operated:
FRA-JER-GCI-FRA 735
DUS-JER-GCI-DUS RJ-85

GCI and JER are still served by Eurowings and VLM to Germany in the summer tourist season. These destinations include:
Muchengladbach
Berlin
Hahn
Dortmund

RE: Goodjet on the brink of bankruptcy

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-01-03 AT 07:06 PM (GMT)]A good idea of a Scandinavian low cost operator sadly disappears and yet another Swedish operator.
It looks then as if it is goodbye Goodjet.

RE: BA LGW-GCI news for Saab 2000

Well a 737-500 is great news. A change of type from an ATR to a Boeing is mighty good and will be a welcome change from the dull -72 which has been on the route for years now.
If the route is discontinued and BA pull out of GCI as has been rumoured, I am not bothered-I’ve learnt never to trust BA or to guarentee the routes they serve from GCI. We have lost around 5 of them in the last 5 years!
Bristol
Cardiff
Plymouth
Manchester
Heathrow
So if LGW goes then hey, it will be annoying, but I have come to expect it. Anyway, thanks for the news.

I like the larger titles but otherwise it is average. I preferred the flower.

RE: Air India – An Insight

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-01-03 AT 07:00 PM (GMT)]Thanks for that Kabir. A very interesting and insightful article into the running of Air India.
The current status of Air India really is a sad story. To think a country with over a Billion people only has 29 aircraft. You can only imagine what Air India could have become and the potential it had (or still has). It could have become a major world player and been such a competitive airline, yet due to the management, or lack of it, it is grounded as a lower level carrier.

I only hope the management will start working towards repositioning the airline as a competitive player in the market and highlight itself as an airline in reckoning with international players. With the expansion of the strength of AI’s fleet and more destinations being added, I hope India will get the airline it deserves.

Thanks.
