apart from that similar sized a/c are rare on IT charters
BMI use 49 seat EMB jets on a few IT's to Italy and Sardinia Corsica
Volotea still use the 100/110 seat 717(MD95) on their routes and charters but larger A319's are taking over
BA (C-F) use 95 seat EMB RJ's on a big charter series out of many UK and Scottish airports to Italy and Spain for Barrhead Travel and also op the schedules from LCY to Greek Islands JMK and JTR
this operation for Lolo IF a F70 is being sourced is a rather standalone gig rather similar to the old Palmair ''one aircraft'' scenario
what's gonna be the backup when it all goes Pete Tong in the summer on a Saturday morning - who or what could cover the back up...?
notable that the bosses are ex Avro and a new guy from TUI - therefore they should know their markets and operations
Avro was massive as you know but had a reputation for cancellations and rescheduling passengers
