Euromanx Dash 8s

[Keith Blackham]

Following the hurried departure of the last dash 8 from Ronaldsway to Exeter minutes before the Company ceased trading, I have been trying to discover who actually owns the two dash 8 aircrcraft? Neither were on the UK register and were not 'operated' by Euromanx who were without a UK licence. Do flybe have a finger in the pie as they previously owned both the 200 & 300 aircraft?

[TechCons]

Both aircraft, which were on the Swiss register, are owned by Bombardier Inc.

[GGFFB]

Actually both aircraft, on the Austrian register btw, are both ex BE -200's so there maybe some sort of connection there??

[uncovered]

Flybe has no connection to these aircraft other than its maintaince facility (largest Q400 mtce provider in Europe) doing the C-check work for the lessor. Flybe offloaded all its Q300's some time ago.

The -300 (nr. 533, OE-HBC) was FlyBE's G-JEDD in a previous life...
but AFAIK, FlyBE never had any -200srs

[Tonyq]

FlyBe had 3 x 200 series in the British European days, G-JEDX/Y/Z, from 1999 to 2003.

OE-HBB c/n 541 was previously G-JEDX but it had a sojourn out in Hawaii with Island Air, as N541BC, BE and 3W, during 2004.

So both 3W Dash 8's had been new to BE originally.

Rumour has it in the Channel Islands that Blue Islands are to aquire 2 Dash 8-300's, could it be these examples?

[Tonyq]

Only one of these is a 300 series..................

[Flying Farmer]

Flybe had some 300s earlier this year, I did some airtests on them ! :eek:

[cornishsimon]

also rumour has it that the dh8-300 could be heading to air southwest
(rumour from another forum)

[RVF750]

If you were able to get up close to them, you'd see the Jersey European script under the paintwork clearly visible, plus the old JEA dark blue interior was still in place too.

Also no ownership ties to Flybe left. That is unless the checks aren't paid for.......:)

OE-HBB was still resting at Exeter on 5 June
