This is the Route Development thread and it's all about rumours and speculation. Which airline, or more importantly which airline has the right aircraft type to do the job.Will everyone stop dreaming about the likes of Emirates coming to LBA….like @LBA4EVER has been saying for a very long time is our very best option is Turkish…great airline with excellent connections to Asia.
Yes Worldways operated the competing (with Globespan/Wardair)Tristar service for one year - can't recall if they were first or Air Transat, and yes there were odd occasions when we got a DC8 60 series, all of which I managed to miss..I also recall as a little one at the time looking out the windows of westfield primary school at a worldways L1011 and remember once catching a nationair DC8 at the cemetery rd view point instead of the usual 757s!
The things i can remember haha
The Toronto route may have finished that year but I cannot remember.Regards air transat Toronto summers charters from memory 1997 it finished due to a certain mr W Savage leaving his position at Lba
And moving to Manchester from then additional Toronto services started from Manchester that was my understanding at the time
Yes, I mentioned Odyssey in one of my posts above. They were the first airline to do the route after the demise of Wardair.with their 757s. Nice livery too. Shame it didn't last. Then came Nationair, Caledonian and Air Transat.Didn't odyssey do a stint on the Toronto route?
