Hi All,
I haven't heard much chatter about FlyGlobespan in a while, so I'm just wondering how they're doing. Does the fact that there hasn't been much about them on this site mean that complaints have dropped, their LFs have increased, etc.? Has their reliability improved?
Thanks!
Soxfan

They are one of a very few airlines who are in profit at the moment
They have gone back to basics (nearly) and are improving dramatically. Gone are the 733s and 736s, and soon the 767, which will leave them with a fleet of 73G,738 and 763 a.c, 2 767s currently being leased out.
Now all they have to do is drop their flying programmes from LGW, MAN, DUB and BFS and everything will be fine

So, are they primarily sticking to the short-haul routes now?

Well, they will take more B767's... And how they will serve Canada without B767's- o.k. except Halifax-Glasgow (I guess B738?). Are you sure you didn't mean the B757 (G-CEJM)?!

Why was it that the 757 they had and utilized for transatlantic crossings so prone to problems? Was it just a bad luck of the draw, or was the maintenance of the plane not great?

They blamed Icelandair maintenance.
Most, if not all, of GSM's maintenance is now done by Monarch Engineering
