GLA-LGW reduced to 1 x daily using a LHR based a/c from S21. (Presumably due to feeding LGW-ISB).
EdI-LGW is chopped.

Not 100% GLA related but can anyone shed light on why four A320s positioned back to Heathrow from Palma, stayed for a few hours, and then returned to Palma

I can only assume it is for required engineering checks - surely using GLA would be make more financial sense

Not sure why they went back to LHR, but I read they all parked at T3 for a few hours then went back to Palma.

From what I've read elsewhere there was a change in the lease agreement and the aircraft needed to be in UK when the agreement was signed.

You sometimes see similar on delivery flights where a flight will enter UK airspace for a short period of time before routing to final destination.

Rumours circulating that IAG will announce short haul at Gatwick is to move away from BA, currently unsure if it will be Vueling or an offshoot of BA who will take over. Not sure what this will mean for the future of GLA-LGW if it all comes to pass.

Glasgow appears to be back according to this article. It does indeed sound like some sort of "BA Lite" brand will emerge.

With no short haul aircraft there, perhaps GLA will be an intermediate stop en route LGW-LAS. Stranger things have happened. :lol:
