Re: The Glasgow Airport team is ready to Go For It at Routes Europe 2025 next week.

Although we've essentially secured the square root of hee-haw so far, I like this mob 100% more than the previous incumbents already. Something about them screams..professionals. That's a great starting point. :D I think some of those names were there before, mainly a new gaffer, but you’re right, ...

Re: Flixbus

You can buy through tickets on Flixbus website from GLA to Edinburgh Bus station using the 500 service. One way fare for next week seems to be £15 one way for most trips. Just need to rejig the timetable so there’s no change of vehicle at Buchanan St. It doesn’t sound impossible. Unfortunately it's...

Re: AviAlliance sells 22% to Blackstone

I think the recent capital expenditure refers to the runway and terminal extensions at Southampton to allow A320 operations.

Re: Global Airlines JFK

These dates are just ahead of a reported MAN-JFK round trip on 21-25 May, could it be a travel trade jolly. Flights are operated by Hi Fly Malta. Won't hold my breath on this, the whole thing seems highly suspect.

Re: Flixbus

Flixbus are expanding all over the place so I thought I’d write to them with a route suggestion. Sadly I couldn’t find anyway to contact them. Maybe someone else can? I think they should look at adding a regular coach service that routes Edinburgh-Glasgow-Glasgow Airport-Glasgow-Edinburgh multiple ...

Just a slight glimmer of hope is that our market share as increased very slightly from 2.7% to 2.8%. However, not yet above 2004 for the January figures, and still around 400k short of the full year numbers. UK market share in 2004 was 4%, so we are very much losing ground in the total market. Jan 2...
