Re: LM drop GLA-SOU

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...

Re: LM drop GLA-SOU

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...

Re: LM drop GLA-SOU

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. If it’s all the one market then we are right royally stuffed. Realistically I’d say the longer the flight the larger ...

Re: PIK

Hope it’s not anyone we know and that the 2 onboard will be ok. Sadly one of the occupants is well known to some of us on this forum. Wishing both a speedy recovery. I’m worried about Fergus. It’s not him I hope? Still here Clive, but it was a couple of guys from Prestwick Flying Club. Fergus [/quo...

Re: LM drop GLA-SOU

Hear hear. I’ve been saying this for years. Glad others are finally catching up. Lack of demand too, it seems. We used to have regular flights to the likes of NWI, CWL, MAN, LBA and more. If no one wants to fly to/from Glasgow and these places it doesn’t make sense to provide flights. Do you apply ...

If no one wants to fly to/from Glasgow and these places it doesn’t make sense to provide flights. We could note that a certain airport at the other end of the M8 doesn't have flights to three ...

Re: LM drop GLA-SOU

EZY are indeed arses at GLA. Never a truer word spoken. I've lost count of the opportunities I thought they could have expanded on, but there's always a reason/excuse why they don't. Pretty fed-up with them these days. And FR too. I think there's a lot to be said about the people running the show r...

Re: Air passenger tax

Just another anti aviation policy from the SNP/Green coalition. Sturgeon did her best to destroy the sector with political games during the pandemic. The Greens now control the SNP. Tax tax tax is their obsession. Bad for Scottish tourism, bad for the aviation sector and all the businesses that rel...
