Eastern Airways
Eastern Airways have unveiled a new livery, the first aircraft to be painted is BAe Jetstream 41 G-MAJL:

Looks ok to me. Better than the old one.
|
Looks like BMI colours?Do you think ?
|
First sign of an Eastern/bmi tie-up?
:} :E |
I don't like that blue, it reminds me of the first Air UK colour scheme.
It was rapidly changed when they discovered that at night the aircraft could not be seen on the apron, and ramp equipment kept driving into them!! := |
I like it, i also think it will look smart on the Saab's. :ok:
|
MUCH better, I love it!
The old scheme was old fashioned, the new one is striking! Regards Mike |
When I first saw it I was disappointed, but now, I'm beginning to like it :) :ok:
|
Far too much like BMI should be red not blue
|
logo looks upside down if you ask me :}

Eastern at Norwich
Does anyone know how things are going for Eastern at Norwich now that Flybe have been in for a few months??
|
Flybe have started MAN and gone double daily to EDI - Eastern have axed these routes
Flybe also announced ABZ but then cancelled it before starting it and Eastern continue to serve the route alongside bmi regional |
Do you know what happened to the crew that operated the MAN & EDI routes?
:hmm: |
Are all the aircraft getting this new paint job including the Jetstream 32s ?
|
I wouldn't think the 32's would get it, they'll probably be going soon
|
There can't be many 32's in the fleet now as as traffic builds up they get replaced by 41's on the thinner routes.
Eastern does a good job and succeeds where a lot of similar carriers have failed. Never hangs around with routes which don't work. |
As far as I know there are only 3 x J32s left in the fleet one in service runnning WIC - ABZ and ABZ - SYY the other 2 appear to just sit at ABZ
wonder if the one left is service is going to be changed to a J41 anytime soon :confused: |
T3 expansion at ABZ
Eastern are to launch 4 new routes out of ABZ. No details of where as yet, they are in different stages of development, a couple are at "advanced" stage.
Also to add a 2nd rotation on ABZ-SYY, so whether this means more work for the JS32s left, or if it will be JS41 operated remains to be seen. Wonder which new routes? Will CWL finally be one, & will any be international. Good news for ABZ. (Sorry HUY...:} ) |
I would imagine there would be performance issues with the J41 and the 1600m rwy at WIC.
|
Which should not be much of a problem for the 41. It will be slightly restricted if I can remember but the 41 is useless for short field ops. When I used to fly the J41 I remember doing a Wick - Luton charter and lifted a fullish load so Wick is not that limiting
