Oh Dear! Globespan again!

The delayed Friday flight which should have been in at 11:40 yesterday is still not showing an arrival time yet!

This has to have a knock on effect on the Glasgow-Sanford flight tonight, unless they can turn it round before 6pm

And it shows via Bangor, I am assuming that is Bangor, Maine!

Yes, that right, it's a refuelling stop. I bet they will be glad to get home finally!
Yet the Glasgow web site still does not show a return time. Have they taken off yet I wonder???

Thanks for the link Obi it is very interesting, but why so many changes of departure time? Wonder what held them up?

Claire

 

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

I don't know Claire.
It could possibly a group of things,
passengers late to the aircraft leading to loss of take off slot,
off loading of passenger
Something going tech at the last minute...

Thats what I was thinking, as the VS044 was virtually on time today, so something else must have caused the delay to be such a long time.
