They had a good reputation within the industry, hopefully someone will buy them and start third party work.
Up to about 3 years ago FAS were doing about 60-70% third party work and making a lot of money, but they were so busy that some of the FlyBe aircraft were going elswhere as hangar slots were all booked up.
With new management and changed priorities, a lot of third party work was turned away, I think it will be hard to get it back.
