Re: wizz air are back!!

Hopefully VS following after their deal .. Exactly my thoughts. It’s a stick on hopefully, or they might want to start back at GLA sooner and fly both Scottish routes in tandem until the current deal runs its course. No idea if they’d have a minimum service agreement that ties them to certain minim...

Re: CAA July 23 stats

Perhaps more relevant is next year sees the start of A330Neo(A339) deliveries and also the A359 should join the fleet. Those would allow a 2nd service to operate with something smaller than the B77W, although exact configuration for the new Airbuses has not yet been released. Worth noting that July...

Re: World Routes 2023

This B6 and edi rumour is more of a wishlist rumour on another forum .. nothing in it at all Correct - there are 17 other destinations under consideration.

Re: BAC 1-11

What are your1-11 memories? My first of many flights in G-AWYS. The regular late BR911 LGW-GLA. Was just approaching MAN northbound when we started a leisurely right turn that took ages.

Re: Edinburgh

The problem is that both United and Delta have built sizeable operations at EDI at least in the summer months (UAL B757 2 x EWR, 1 x IAD & 1 x ORD and DAL B767 1 x JFK, 1 x BOS & 1 x ATL) supported no doubt by 'exclusive' deals and now by traffic volumes which give them substantial buying power in ...
