Globespan going, going and nearly gone

When XL went under last year the very same journalist published an article stating Globespan would be next and it would be over last winter. They are still here. This is a non story and very poor journalism. Sixth word in the article is believed. The article then continues to use words such as thought and possible.

Also states they provide handling for flybe at Glasgow and Edinburgh which is incorrect. Harps on about XL which is old, and irrelevant news. Who knows what the final paragraph is on about and even less how it is relevant.

The article mentions the MOD contracts that Globespan fly. These contracts are very lucrative (the taxpayer foot the bill after all, we can't expect a good deal!), and will be paid in cash and on time. Globespan have also reduced their capacity in other areas and are leasing aircraft out over the quiet winter period to keep cash rolling in rather than parking them. All airlines are finding it hard but Globespan seem to be in one of the better places to be honest.

Lazy, cr*p journalism from someone who obviously has an axe to grind.

Globespan have been in business for over 20 years, they are the company to try first if you're looking for flights out of Scotland at reasonable prices.

I think they will have a tough time during the recession, but will still be around at the end of it.

this is just the annual story about Globespan - happens every winter.;)

On the Alicante + Malaga routes from Edinburgh, Globespan ARE already competing with Ryanair. .....

and Malaga.

We always prefer flyglobespan to other carriers as 'the flight' usually seems 'better' , however one measures that?

Close comparison flyglobespan Vs RyanAir shows only a few £ difference; the comfort being worth any difference.

BUT! Will flyglobespan still be flying next year? :eek: They say they will. They would say that.

So, can we book in confidence? There'd better be some very, very reassuring words, very soon.

xl.com also had the very lucrative MOD contract that globespan now have, didn't stop them going under !
