LM have been experiencing disruption to there ops at NWI for the last few days. A number if flights have either cancelled or experienced long delays. It looks like this is due to a problem with G-SAJT, which has been on the ground since Friday evening.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is with this aircraft?.
LM currently have at least 2, possibly 3 spare jet aircraft sat on the ground in ABZ. I am surprised that one of these wasn’t flown to NWI on Sunday to add some stability to the operation after the disruption on Saturday.
A SF3 had to be positioned from GLA this morning due to lack of a spare or replacement aircraft at NWI. This mornings MAN was delayed by over 3 hours as a result. As a result of this delay, the lunch time NWI-EDI-SVG-EDI-NWI service was delayed 4 hours ex NWI. In a effort to minimise the delay to the rest of this service. LM decided to position a ER4 to EDI at lunchtime to take over the operation of the EDI-SVG-EDI part of this service.
