G-LSAL flying EXS157 Glasgow - Paphos diverted into Frankfurt this morning. Anyone know what happened?

 

[Aviador]

Not sure but it was probably a medical divert. 'lbia' might be able to answer if he shows.

 

[Scott]

Just landed at quarter past 1... 5 hours late. Looks like he went out to Cyprus after going into FRA. with a delay like that I assume it must of been mechanical? Or is 5 hours a usual delay when there is a medical diversion?

Anyone know if Glasgow are getting a replacement 75 when G-lsal returns to allegiant?

Jet2 have today announced that they will base a 4th aircraft up at Glasgow for Next summer and will aslo launch another 3 new routes to Menorca, Murcia and Pula.

Looks like a B737-300 will be added to the 2x Boeing 737-800's and 1x Boeing 757-200.

See Jet2 for more details: http://www.jet2.com/News/Jet2_com_Annou ... m_Glasgow/

the charter market is doing ok for the Glasgow base. looks more likely to be a 737 base now, anyone know if the 757 will be permanently based there? Or will G-LSAN be a shared resource with the likes of Newcastle or Manchester?

I think Jet2 needs the 757 in Glasgow in all honesty for the longer range flights to the Canaries and Turkey, but that is just my opinion

BBC news are reporting an emergency evacuation from a Jet2 at Glasgow this morning due to smoke in the cockpit.

Really bad news for Jet2 as you say Bigman

BBC News as you say are reporting that Glasgow Airport has been closed until 10:00am this morning by Jet 2 Boeing 737 -800, G-GDFJ which has aborted its take-off due to smoke in the cabin, the passengers have dissembarked the aircraft on the runway using the slides. There are up to four reported injuries as well.

 

[Aviador]

Yes, not a good day for them today with the story making national news.

There's more about the incident in our Worldwide Airlines thread.

 

[lbaspotter]

Boeing 737-800, G-GDFJ is now back in active service for Jet2 still based up at Glasgow, The aircraft was inspected by both the AAIB and the CAA before been released on Tuesday after doing a test flight.

Flying to Bodrum in July, any ideas which aircraft they will be using for this?

I think it might be the 757, but could possibly be the 738, what day is the flight. I think the 757. Definitely not the 733

 

[Rickoza]

It's the 1535 flight, think that's the time.

Does anyone know if the self handling at GLA is full ramp, ops and customer service self handling or just front of house?

 

[LH75]

Hi

Looking for any views and info re Jet2 moving to self handling at GLA. Is it full self handling or just front of house? Are they handling for anyone else? What will happen when the Winter schedule kicks in?

 

[Aviador]

Welcome to Forums4airports LH75 and happy New Year!

I am not up on what Jet2 are doing at Glasgow, hopefully somebody on here will know the answer. Jet2 do have full handling at Leeds but I'm not sure about what they do at their other bases.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

I would think Manchester will self handle before Glasgow gets it. Personally i would see BLK get self handle if it's not already. Whilst were on this subject i believe ALC or AGP (can't remember which one) and LBA are the only airports in the Jet2 network to completley self handle.
