PIK

[GeorgeNTravels]

Ryanair planning 38 weekly flights from PIK to 9 destinations next summer those being:

Alicante - 6 weekly
Barcelona - 3 weekly
Faro - 5 weekly
Gran Canaria - 2 weekly
Lanzarote - 2 weekly
Malaga - 5 weekly
Murcia International - 2 weekly
Palma de Mallorca - 7 weekly
Tenerife - 6 weekly

2 based aircraft and the rest operated by visiting aircraft.

If only we could finally prize these two aircraft out of PIK and up the road to GLA. That's a great starting point for underpinning some rapid future growth.

I agree that Murcia service would be unique to GLA as well

“MINISTERS have decided not to recoup any of the £50 million it is owed in loans and interest from the state-controlled Prestwick Airport to allow it to remain in existence – leading to concern it has sanctioned unlawful state aid, The Herald on Sunday can reveal.

Transport Scotland has provided written confirmation that it will not seek repayment of all or part of the loan facility or the interest until at least March 31, 2023 – which directors say will enable the Ayrshire airport to “continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months”.”

Yes, I'm afraid the standard of journalism in The Herald has gone downhill rapidly . . . and worst still it is posted under the banner of 'Exclusive'

The accounts have been in the public domain for weeks and the letter of support from Transport Scotland is just to satisfy the financial reporting requirements of 'going concern'

Nobody in the general press nor parliament asks the searching question of how dependent is PIK financially on military traffic

Anyone know what’s the script with the 2 TUI 737’s into PIK today, a G-reg one from DBV and a D-reg one from DUS?

G-TAWO has been stuck in DBV since last Thursday so I imagine some maintenance must be needed.

Ah. Maybe the second one was to bring back the crew?

Script: Chevron. An epic last few days though: 10 A10s through back to the US from Latvia, two KC135s, six C17s today alone (RCAF, UAE, RAusAF and USAF), UAE AF A330 and CL600.

Yes, it goes like a fair on the military side of things. Always multiple heavies when I pass by.

D-reg one flew to Hannover on Monday Morning. G-reg still there.
