Re: New route - PLAY - Reykjavík to Glasgow

Ones low cost, ones a mainline carrier. Whilst its part of the conversation theres a bit more to this than margins being squeezed on Glasgow to Iceland. They both want onwards travellers to the States/Canada and those travellers who used the US carriers haven't just disappeared into thin air. The in...

Re: Flights to Glasgow scrapped by major airline in 'difficult decision'

It wouldn't surprise me at all that if the terminal at PIK closed the based aircraft would leave the West of Scotland altogether for EDI or elsewhere.

Re: FR S23 Expansion?

Imagine that, the comments in the Herald and the Scotsman amount to nothing. If anything summed up the tenure of AGS then the last 24 hours say it all. A hike in parking charges under the laughable guise of restoring connectivity - which the airport have tried to sweep under the rug and has only be...

Re: Flights to Glasgow scrapped by major airline in 'difficult decision'

Would be nice if they upgraded the travel experience to the City Centre from those shitey 500 busses. Not a patch on the Citylink coaches from EDI to Buchanan Street. Despite all the political bother with the rail link etc this sort of thing is well within their control, theres no excuse for the pis...

Re: Flights to Glasgow scrapped by major airline in 'difficult decision'

The only way I see any TATL carriers coming back is if like FR with the UK growth becomes strangled and they need to find new ways to increase margins, but even then it'll always be vulnerable. Its scandalous that GLA doesn't even have a summer seasonal to NYC and you have the likes of ATL running d...

Re: FR S23 Expansion?

I can see some additions. FR's network at EDI and throughout the UK is at saturation point so in terms of strangling every last inch of growth I am not surprised they would consider coming back when looking for ways to grow. GLA I think is the only top 10 airport without a FR base. The other thing i...
