A much happier day I would say - I am not saying that there weren't any cancellations but I couldn't find any just a few delays but I use FR24 and as most of the fleet are MLAT it is not totally reliable.
Out of 54 Dash 8's 10 were not operating at any one time, plus 1 E175 and 1 E195 but they did have one ATR flying for them as mentioned in an earlier post.
What was noticeable was out of the 44 Dash 8's flying 35 operated 7 or more sectors and some 10, which is definitely a ramp up in utilisation from when I last checked. The Cardiff 175's all did 8 sectors but one of the two Doncaster ones only 4 sectors.
There were 9 Dash 8's that did not operate at all and one that operated in the morning only and another in the afternoon only (EDI) and the 9 were at:
OA - EDI since 5th April
OH - MAN since 10th April
OJ - BHX since 9th April
CM - SOU since 10 April
CN - SOU since 2nd March and positioned to NQY today?
CX - EXT since 27 March
CY - EXT since 10 April
PE- - EXT since 9th April
PF - EXT since 2nd April
175
JJ - BHX since 1 April but listed tomorrow BHX-AMS
3 based CWL, 2 DSA, 3 MAN, 2 BHX (plus one possibly on the ground)
195
EJ - EXT since 27 Feb
2 based MAN, 1 BHX, 1 SOU & 1 EXT (1 I presume maintenance EXT)
As I say I can't vouch that this is 100% accurate but should be close.
