Flights to Glasgow commence from Belfast City Airport

A direct service to Glasgow has taken off from Belfast City Airport with British Airways. Passengers on the inaugural flight were greeted by a bagpiper

British Airways currently operates a network of six destinations from Belfast City Airport – Exeter, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, London City, London Heathrow and a summer service to Newquay.

British Airways has introduced twilight bag drop at GLA for all flights before midday, I imagine the LGW service will benefit massively from this even if its on an ATR until the end of the Summer.

Seems a bit of a random one but cudos to Glasgow to getting CityFlyer to operate the route.

I suspect it's possibly connected to Barrhead Travel.

Would it be utilizing an aircraft that otherwise would be on the ground.

@Seasider I would guess so with LCY being closed basically/loosely from Saturday lunchtime through to Sunday lunchtime and that is BACF's route ex GLA. I am sure one of the locals can confirm for definite

Would it be utilizing an aircraft that otherwise would be on the ground.

From what I can see this aircraft was supposed to operate a flight to Salzburg on behalf of TUI/Inghams.

That flight will now be operated by TUI themselves on a 737 - as a result TUI has removed its Saturday TFS flight.

A lot of reorganising the deckchairs, and it appears BA are still operating a flight to Palma on Sunday morning for TUI

 

[KARFA]

BACF have always dabbled with these kinds of routes from the regions directly in to europe. As noted the saturday/sunday curfew would mean these aircraft and crew would just sit downroute somewhere instead - they can't all stay at LCY. over the years they have operated from MAN, EDI, and GLA. these are BACF flights and not charters which is a completely different scenario. charter flight numbers usually start BA8xxx.
