We are talking to a couple of airlines. We have Stobart Air in our back pocket but it may be that another airline or aircraft type might work better in the early years of operation. We have to make sure that we get our predictions right and have the right sort of aircraft for the right sort of volumes to the right sort of places. It is more about getting the right size of plane, the right destination and the frequency. We will be announcing the carrier very early in the New Year. We are not looking at using 737s at the start, they will be a lot smaller.
This is the quote from the end of last year from Stobart - I think most people (including me!) have read it as meaning initially it will be smaller than an Atr (and Stobart have previously quoted the flights as being done by an Atr-42).
