VicMan Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I would never have guessed that a company would try Houston-Aberdeen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 It's all about oil/gas exploration. Aberdeen is the jumping off point for almost all North Sea exploration and it makes sense to connect that part of Scotland with Houston.I hope this works. It seems like the market can handle 200 seats a week (each direction). Will be nice for IAH spotters to see a 757 (non Continental)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownWxBoy Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Great news for Houston... it won't be long (early December) before Emirates begins its flights to Dubai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 actually, there is a sizable amount of people that regularly fly to and from that region and kinkaid nailed it right on the head.i wouldn't be surprised 9f it turns into a small hub for the rest of europe.

cwrm4 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I used to make that commute regularly, and always with a connection in London. Sometimes I'd even have to bus it from Gatwick to Heathrow for the connection. A Royal PITA. This flight would have been a godsend. Based on the number of people I would see on the IAH-LGR flight that would also end up on the flight to Aberdeen, I don't think they will have any problem filling the seats.

Will it be a scheduled common carrier, or charter-type? And, more to the point, will it be available for booking by anyone or just by oil industry folk (like the flights to Africa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to serving the Houston and Aberdeen markets, CityStar will be able to offer connections from Aberdeen to several Scandanavian destinations too; many with oil interests as well. I would imagine lots of biz folks would love to make connections and clear customs at a small Scotish airport for onward connections to Stavenger, Helsinki, Stockholm, etc... rather than LGW/LHR, CDG, AMS, or FRA.
