Fly Globespan

The breaking news this morning is that Scotlands largest airline has had its flights grounded and has gone into receivership.

Many of us in Scotland are so sad to see Globespan go under as they have provided flights direct to the Alps and to the sun for us over the past few years so will be truly missed.

One does start to wonder though why governments across the world help out their national airline and the Scottish government has done nothing to help Globespan – did the Scottish government let us down again?

Anyway, I dont want to get into politics but these thoughts are sure to be going through many peoples heads this morning as they try to claim back their money from the CAA, travel agents and credit cards.

In the mean time please be assured that all Ski Europe Online clients are being offered alternative flights if Globespan has been booked.

Fingers crossed that British Airways gets the support that it needs and that no other airlines have their planes grounded next year.

We still have flights and catered chalets available to France from £279 per person departing on the 19th Dec and HALF PRICE chalets at New Year from £479 per person. These include Gatwick flights, transfers and chalet board accommodation.
