Just read a tweet from Chief Commercial Officer ( Finnish bloke) 9 minutes ago. Someone asked the question... " Is This a replacement for GLA?"
His response was
" Unfortunately yes. Glasgow customers have been rebooked via Edinburgh (sic)"

I mean. What the actual F$$k ?

Still bookable just now, but that could well change on 18 Aug.

Depressing.

No room for sentiment in this business - especially in the post Covid landscape we find ourselves in

Could it have any bearing on DL ops from Edi? I know both EDI and GLA flights have been cancelled due to Covid however DL aim to restart EDI but not GLA as things currently stand.

That said this is bad news for GLA. Is it’s future a puckle of hub schedules: AMS, DUB, DXB, FRA, KEF, LHR, plus leisure schedules and charters from EZY, FR, LS, TOM and W6; plus LM?

we have been over this topic 6 trillion times. But now as we look into the post Covid Tunnel of doom, ask yourself..
As I always...
Why have two bases (overheads) when you get better return from one?
Same gene pool
Same customers
Same destinations
Same aluminium tubes

I think it could all get a bit Lionel Messi.
And dont say that they are two different , separate markets. They aint.
