It was dropped because no slots at Orly after a lot of flights swiched from CDG to Orly.

Yes, it was ditched a good couple of weeks ago. Apparently due to the fact they couldn't get the slots at ORY, if so I don't know why they'd started selling seats on the route? :confused:
Remains to be seen what they'll replace it with, if anything...

Possibly failed to make a dent in the passenger bookings being carried by Ryanair to Beauvais from PIK. Or perhaps with the sudden availability of slots at CDG they are working on securing a route to there instead ?

There's also speculation abound that they are looking at new routes to Madrid, and/or Venice instead.

Maybe but beacause they would take longer than GLA-ORY they would require schedule changes to other services that the aircraft would operate and this may inconvience some passengers boked on other services so Fly Globespan may not do this

because a terminal closed a CDG alot of flights from CDG where swiched to Orly and these flights got the slots that GSM where ment to have.

GSM from GLA with this AC could go
MAD 3weekly
BUD 2 weekly
Venice 2 weekly

Not sure about that? It wasn't a terminal at CDG it was a part of one pier. As far as I was aware most flights had simply been transferred to other piers, as 2E didn't handle a huge amount of flights anyway.
Is 2E partly in use again, or are those aircraft parked out of the way?
