After Adrian's nice thread in the ng, I thought, why not have one for GLA. So, What new routes? new airlines? pax per annum? dropped routes? airport developments? I'll get the ball rolling then: Hopefully this year we will see PIA start GLA-LHE with the A310 Perhaps a German service to either FRA or MUC with LH Wizz to Warsaw Globespan to start MAD or BUD if slots in Paris are unavailable. At this late stage I am unsure of any new tx flights, but perhaps NWA to DTW. A couple of months ago DL had supposedly filed for ATL-GLA, although nothing has happened. Flybe to increase their flights from GLA. 2005 should see GLA pass the 9mppa barrier, hopefully around 9.2million. The 2 new stands next to ATC should be finished early next year. The new baggage carousel at Intl. Back to top Adrian Tupper Guest Posted: Thu Dec 30, 2004 11:49 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA 2005 Predictions?

The new baggage carousel at Intl. More citybreak type services to Germany and Eastern Europe. Also more from flyglobespan and possibly another longhaul like PIA. -- Adrian Back to top BLIMPS Guest Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2004 12:43 am    Post subject: Re: GLA 2005 Predictions?

Paris CDG a must with MUC or FRA a close second, I'd also like to see ATL or LAX before BOS, honest. Quote: new airlines? AFR, DLH & Delta would do fine. Quote: pax per annum? As much as poss, despite PIK. Quote: dropped routes? None. Quote: airport developments? The International Arrivals Hall is totally inadequate, it's time the BRAL Hangar was bulldozed and a new extension was built to the west including baggage facilities, I remember BAA boasted at the time of the 'new' pier that the material was 'off the shelf,' let's do it again.

Surely an announcement will be made shortly. The press seem to think so. Curiously its justification is to support burgeoning Lithuanian migrant workers in Scotland rather than taking Scots to Vilnius (and giving access to its hub!). -- Adrian Back to top GLAGAZ Guest Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2004 8:33 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA 2005 Predictions? Still cannot believe we are talking about places such as Vilnius when we do not have direct flights to Paris or ANYWHERE in Germany. Although I still feel BAA are waiting till mid January to announce quite a few new destinations/airlines for GLA/EDI/ABZ......"BAA bring Scotland closer to the world" Back to top Adrian Tupper Guest Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2004 9:02 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA 2005 Predictions?

It's very ironic. Whilst all new routes are welcome it does make normal business logic rather imperfect. Perhaps it's because the airlines which fly between Scotland and France/Germany reckon they cater for the market either directly or indirectly already.

But let's hope you are right. -- Adrian Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Glasgow Airport All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
