Glasgow-Cork Resumes

[FlyGLA]

Should we e-mail Emerald Airways and tell them to no bother starting the route?

Certainly. Please inform all other airlines as well that GLA is not accepting new routes until New York is reinstated.

United and EWR are not returning and in 10 years time GLA's only long haul service will be summer-season TUI flights.

Can we quote you on that? Jesus, we may as well hand back the keys and tell everyone it's closed.... yeah things aren't great at the moment with regards destinations but who knows what's going to happen..... glass half full here (something strong, please)

Yes, you can. It’s not hard to believe, is it? The US3 are now well-established at EDI, and JetBlue has joined them. WestJet and Air Canada have also shifted east. Emirates has already cut back one of its two daily flights from GLA to launch a service at EDI, and EK is likely to follow the same path as CO/UA.

GLA’s future should focus on low-cost flights to Europe, as the days of transatlantic routes are over.

They haven’t even been able to get a handle on loco to Europe, all that’s also gone to EDI.

Utter disgrace for Scotland’s biggest city.

That’s inaccurate. If you check the schedules we have a number of loco flights to Europe.

But yes of course GLA’s media dept should be publicising all new routes. Indeed they are probably contractually obliged to do so.

Back on topic, Cork will be operated by Belfast Aircraft, schedule updated in due course, thanks to george for the update on that

Agreed.

Excellent, that preserves the Dublin connections to North America.

Cork will never be a major route for us, but right now anything is welcome and the publicity machine has to get it out there to the wider public.

But worry not my friend. I m certain I read a document on here from someone in senior management who said " but wait until September" or something close to that. So here we are. I cant wait to read whatever it is...

This was in the airport consultative committee meeting minutes for January 2024, with all the names redacted before the minutes being published, for all I know it could have been a cleaner that said that his neighbours cats heard something.

I highlighted the September comment, and a link to the website it came from is here; https://www.glasgowairport.com/about-us ... committee/
