So typical of easyJet. Give with one hand take with the other. VCE in the bin but here's Lisbon. So frustrating

VCE was using one of the bases aircraft where as LIS is an EJU flight so something else maybe getting slotted in instead of VCE

Appalling that GLA can't even sustain a direct route to somewhere like Venice. No doubt this is down to the fact that EDI offers a far better choice of frequency and prices but a major disappointment nonetheless.

Customer choice. If no eejit uses the GLA service then of course it won’t sustain. Airport bosses can’t force the locals to fly.

Your right they can't force them to fly but they could do other things such as work with the airlines, find solutions to build up there network so we are more competitive. Work with glasgow council , the tourist board etc etc . But sadly not seen much of this the latter as visit Scotland don't really advertise glasgow .

I’m sure they would argue that they do work with all stakeholders and agencies to promote new and existing routes.

I've raised this before. Unfortunately a majority of Glaswegians will not consider anywhere out with the usual sunny destinations and especially the Canaries. It's a depressing lack of imagination from a lot in the west.

Plus, those who will go to sample such a destination will go once so the pot gets smaller.

Like when PRG started and we had something like 120kpa.

As I've said already, it's not that there's a lack of demand, it's that the demand is being served from Edinburgh. Twice weekly flights at stupid times means that people will travel farther for better options. LIS is going to be in the same situation. It's not that the demand doesn't exist, otherwise there would be no foundation on which to launch in the first place. VCE has operated for a few years now and was even increased but much like MXP, the options are far better from EDI and therefore GLA is left with trash yields.

Re the bucket and spade brigade, that sounds like something that would come out of an AGS board meeting :?
