Yeah keep in mind that this was the (Spanish) senior crew member who was saying it. But she certainly said the airport was charging per bag rather than the handling agent. But that may simply have been an lay reference given that the people she was speaking to were passengers rather than necessarily aviation specialists.

Hi Craig..

That would be very strange if true .. gla would be the only airport I know of who would do that . Its subcontracted out to handling company which if was a policy at gla it would be elsewhere .. plus why put DUB on sale , you would think it would be all flights that would be affected

We can speculate 'until the cows come home' but as every week passes with no announcement the drift east and south on these routes will accelerate and crucially these options will be consolidated in peoples' minds

It would be interesting to establish if GLA charge the handling agents by the bag for the use of the baggage reclaim area including the capital & maintenance costs of the belts

Tend to agree with Bearsden on this one. Every passing day without an announcement diminishes the chances of any new routes. Is it not very late now to launch Summer 2024 routes? I would of course loved to be proved wrong

They are still releasing routes for S24, as Boeing give a better idea of delivery schedules. However, a number of routes down south are seeing frequency reductions, possibly as economic realities crystallise. I suspect they will be tweaking things a bit more as time goes on.

I wouldn't say so ... FR never announced PIK routes last year until late DEC .. Still tweaking schedule

Yes Ryanair do announce things rather randomly, they have just announced Dubrovnik base & Morocco bases within the last week or so. Both are S24 starts so hopefully if there is a base should be annoucned within the next weeks.

Still nothing other than DUB from GLA for S24 and FR are/have released W24 flights from other bases.

Games a bogey I suspect. Would be delighted to be proven wrong but it doesn't look like it's happening.

Not giving up just yet, still announcing new S24 routes, BHX-TIA being the latest just announced yesterday.

They are about to make an announcement in Poland given the news of further schedule cuts in WMI today. WMI will lose 1 aircraft and it will be transferred KRK.

Still time, but not a lot of it
