This isn’t adding up for me, although they haven’t said what the rule changes are. I presume RYR U.K. plan to wet lease several EI-reg RYR DAC aircraft (or from other airlines in the group) to the U.K. subsidiary to get around the break from EASA protocols in 10 days time.
Whilst it’s true that no U.K. airline wet leases a substantial portion of their aircraft from a third party, what is the difference between having say 2 aircraft v 20 aircraft? Each are being managed and maintained by the same regulations. Even the CAA say it’s all about competitiveness rather than safety or regulations.
It is one of my big bug bears in aviation - that the rules totally change on the same aircraft as soon as the letters at the back end change.
