Was recently advised by Post Office at Gatwick that Chanex are to run 2 F27s out of Gatwick on mail flights for the foreseeable future during 2004.
So much for the 'joke' of jet operations only, put forth by the Royal Mail. If Chanex can decide to continue to use turboprops, why can't BAC Express and Emerald continue doing their routes as well?
Or was it a stitchup from the start?
