As part of the ongoing program of operational resilience, the business has entered into a wet lease agreement with Stobart Air for two E190 aircraft. Discussions between the Commercial Department and Crew Resource Planning have highlighted Belfast and Edinburgh as the bases best suited to the wet lease. These aircraft will operate on the heavily subscribed routes into London City providing enhancements to our corporate markets from both locations.One E190 aircraft will be based at each of those locations, operating throughout the winter schedule from 01 December 2019. This will not affect the cabin crew numbers at either base, and the planned recruitment for EDI will continue, the wet lease, along with additional crew members will support and ease the operations out of both Belfast and Edinburgh. This will also free up a number of duty days providing relief throughout the winter for Belfast and Edinburgh where we have been particularly affected by crew shortages.If you have any questions, please make contact with your Performance Manager who can help answer any questions that you might have
