I find it hard to believe that the proposed new Lufthansa routes from Munich using CRJs include Krakow, Gdansk and Tirana rather than GLA! Does anyone (Clive?) know if LH and GLA have been talking? I would have thought it would have become more likely now that they are upgrading the MAN-MUC service to 737s from the CRJs that serviced us previously.

Well, that happens! :-) Krakow, Gdansk and Tirana are at least major cities! Look on the destinations Austrian is flying from VIE! There you have destinations you have never heard of! And not a single flight from VIE to Scotland! lg Gernot Back to top Iain Guest Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2004 4:32 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA-Munich propects?

David I was just thinking the same myself - I believe they're also starting MUC-Lille and FRA- Talinn flights as well! There has been much speculation over LH GLA-MUC for the last 18 months or so. In response to your question, yes, the airport have definately had talks with LH about this route - the MD stated last April in an interview with The Herald that these were taking place. It was also suggested elsewhere that such a route was immanent. Unfortunately since then the trail seems to have gone cold :-( Back to top Joe Curry Guest Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2004 5:14 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA-Munich propects?

No I haven't heard a peep since LH were in the press saying they were interested in GLA. But it doesn't surprise me they are adding 2 Polish cities and 1 in Albania from MUC. I wouldn't take that as a snub for Scotland. For the future I would expect FRA before MUC although LH are steadily building their hub at MUC and might be wary of quasi-competition from Ryanair on the PIK-Hahn route. That is the "PIK effect" in operation but we know that 70% of the EDI-FRA pax are connecting onwards and LH are losing out on potential market share to KLM and BA from the West of Scotland. There is no catagorisation as Joe would have us believe and these services will all come in the fullness of time.

I'm straining every sinew trying to stop myself replying to the disgraceful nonsense that certain other posters are flooding this ng with Thanks Iain. I'd rather talk about the airline industry any day. Quote: Talking about FRA, the first thing I saw about it was an article in the Sunday Herald biz section, but that was ages ago.

He also said that cause of this he felt an LH GLA-FRA flight would be serving a different market to FR and hence they were not a worry. Ah yes just my thoughts. Here's hoping they are still up for it. The lack of slots led to the demise of the short lived GLA-FRA route. Once a day arriving FRA mid afternoon with a 150 seat 737 aircraft was no good for most of those connecting pax. It tends to be different these days with smaller aircraft doing multiple frequencies and therefore tying in with many more connections.
