I mentioned several posts back that with all the recent changes there seemed to be a lot of aircraft on the ground and is there any plan in place to speed up departures especially the Dash 8's.
This is from my paid subscription to FR24 showing the first wave of departures on Monday morning and additions and corrections welcome.
This is only one day and not regular winter ops but as we know that two 190's will replace two Q400's (EDI & BHD) and eventually two ATR76's at the Isle of Man that will replace two Dash 8's but by this time the 175 fleet will be at least 9 and the 195 would have ended service or about to end.
Aberdeen - 3 based BHX, MAN & LHR
Edinburgh - 8 based BHD, BHX, CWL, LCY, LCY, LHR, MAN & SOU - 7 X DH8D & 1 X 175 on BHX (surprise)
Glasgow - 3 based BHD, BHX & SOU - all DH8D'S
Belfast City - 6 based - BHX, EMA, EDI, GLA, LCY, MAN all DH8's
Isle of Man - 2 based - LPL & MAN all DH8D's
Manchester - 7 based - CDG, CDG, DUS, AMS, ABZ, BHD & SOU - 5 X 175'S & 2 X DH8D's
Birmingham - 9 based - CDG, DUS, STR, AMS, AMS, BHD, EDI, GLA & JER. 2 x 195 (CDG/AMS), 4 x 175 (DUS, STR, EDI & GLA) & 3 x DH8D's (AMS, BHD JER)
Cardiff - 1 (overnight) - DUB - DH8D
Exeter - 3 CDG, JER, MAN - all DH8D's
Newquay - 1 - LHR DH8D
Southampton - 6 based CDG, AMS, DUB, BHD, MAN & NCL all DH8D's
Heathrow - 1 overnight - EDI DH8D
Dusseldorf - 1 overnight for Manchester service
51 aircraft required - 2 x 195 (both BHX), 10 x 175 & 39 x DH8D but evening inbound drops to 46 and Thursday morning outbound is 46
Jethro's shows 4 x E195's (3 from next Tuesday), 11 x 175's and 55 x DH8D's.The Edinburgh based 175 is very short-term I think as G-FBJG leaves the fleet in mid November.
By the time Isle of Man is all ATR that could be 20 spare Dash 8's?
