Good to see BEE doing this kind of stuff to keep things "on the road" for their Customers, although no doubt some will say that this is the kind of action that just burns more cash.
Agreed it great to see. I suppose it's a business case of weighing up the cost of operating this against the penalty of paying EU261 costs. That could be more expensive than operating the E175 to rescue the situation.
