I think its about time BAA ripped that sign down and let someone else have the space Back to top GLAGAZ Guest Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2005 7:53 pm    Post subject: Re: Ezy to Amsterdam Andrew Scotland wrote: Quote: "BAA certainly wont be kicking themselves if things go according to plan.

Gaz And easyJet letting that route go adds credence to the GSM stories. Fingers crossed for a happy outcome.

Been there, read the book , seen the movie, heard the song and have always been disappointed in the end. If they do prove to be correct, I hope EZY is more than a once a week service ala Geneva, that GSM operate the route year round and that whoever operates the BOS service does go year round and sticks it out for more than a year!

These things take time. I would expect an announcement from GSM soon as regards their long haul plans and taking up more of their 49? options on the 738W. BOS will happen one day, 2006 or 2007. As regards EZY, well a deal seems close, personally I don't know what the reason is but months ago I knew BAA were in talks with them with a view to finalising atleast a German route, so lets hope something comes of it. International traffic has increased by 8% over the past year and BAA expect this trend to continue next year. So don't be so down, GLA will continue to add more routes, it already serves over a 100 and we still want more :P Gaz Back to top GLAGAZ Guest Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2005 9:02 pm    Post subject: Re: Ezy to Amsterdam *personally I don't know what the reason for the delay is* Gaz Back to top Clive Braham Guest Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2005 9:36 pm    Post subject: Re: Ezy to Amsterdam "GLAGAZ" <spazgaz (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: DavidP wrote: Im sorry Gaz and Clive,I dont share your confidence about EZY, GSM or a Boston service.

David's pessimism seems to imply there is no demand for any new routes. Either that or he thinks BAA GLA are incompetent. Now if we are to assume the future predictions for passenger numbers given in the Masterplan are some way thought out and likely to be attainable even at the lower end then it stands to reason that many new routes will commence over the coming years. I see no reason to doubt it.

I see no reason to doubt it. Clive The latter, I believe they are incompetent.Unless a route falls in there lap ala EK and US they don't know what to do. As for LAS and the carribean, again another slam dunk when you consider where the majority of the population in Scotland is from and most of the tour companies fly from. About the only think I could give them a bit a credit for is GSM and at that GSM had there motives to move from PIK!

Oh and when I'm on my soapbox, does anyone have a crowth figures for MAN,LTN,LPL,EMA, BFS, EDI,NCL,BHX and how do they compare say over the last 1, 3 and 5 years to Glasgow?
