The Edinburgh carrier's contribution to the profits of the Globespan Group rose to £3.1 million from £2m in the 12 months to 31 October, while passenger numbers increased by 50 per cent to almost 1.5 million. The company has increased its programme for this year, including the launch of a daily Glasgow to Orlando service - the first daily Florida route from a UK low-cost airline. The new route follows Flyglobespan stepping in to replace EasyJet on the Glasgow-Amsterdam route, launching Edinburgh/Glasgow-Stansted flights, and increasing services to Geneva.

Apparently the Florida seats are selling like hot cakes! B The great thing about Globespan is that it is Tom Dalryymple's company. Unlike other PLCs where they go only where the profits are best he can, and does, choose to expand services from Scotland as well as looking for opportunities elsewhere. As he has been flying pax from Scotland for decades I have every faith he will continue to serve Scotland as a priority.

As I have said several times elsewhere Globespan's market niche is short, self booking packages to popular resorts where they will make money from the flights, hotels, car hire etc. Manchester does not fit into anything they currently do so very well.
