A plane in its teens used for short daily domestic operations has a huge number of cycles on the airframe and is nothing like a plane crossing the Atlantic once a day or making a bucket and spade trip down to the south of Spain.
And they are designed to take account of that. Their fleets are younger than competitors like Loganair and Eastern, and their jet fleets are also younger than Cityflyers - your point is??

If they don't pay their Air traffic control fees the planes will be impounded irrespective of whether the planes are owned or leased.
Another speculative article from the Telegragh, who also seem to have an agenda - no evidence that BE owe any ATC debts?
