The founder was adamant that flights would commence in April 2024, despite not having LGW or JFK slots, a CAA operating licence or approval from USDOT It’s amazing they got to this stage, having an A380, of all things, delivered. They have at least 2. The other one is in Lourdes That’s a blessing…

There’s a Global Airlines A380 heading into PIK just now from storage in Mojave via Montreal. I’d never heard of this airline. It turns out to be an English start up intending to fly a fleet of A380’s from LGW to New York and Los Angeles. What could possibly go wrong? The founder was adamant that f...

Does this mean you are ...

I think it's quite unfortunate that we seem to come to an absolutist viewpoint with regard to this discussion, when the situation and evidence on the ground pretty clearly suggests that such an absolutist view probably isnt particularly correct or realistic. Surely most of us see that the reality i...

Because if it’s all the one market then airliners will flock to EGPH to serve it and GLA will have no say in the matter. That's exactly what's happened, though. Otherwise you would be implying that all demand from the US to GLA has magically disappeared in the last few years and thus there is no ma...

Do you apply that same logic to EWR, JFK, MCO, YHZ, YYC etc too? No one wants to fly to/from GLA to these places? Well that would depend on the old argument about one market or two.
