They will be Stobart flights (they are named of the Regional fund award), what hasn't been decided (announced?) is who will be operating the flights - and it has been previously said that this will be decided in the new year. There isn't anything new in this release, but it seems to be getting good coverage - which presumably is the point.
The airline doesn't really need to be known at this point (no tickets on sale yet ), and that announcement will be another little publicity bump
