Well, the a/c that was due to operate NQY-LHR-NQY last night is still on the ground in NQY, and another a/c has been positioned down from BHD this morning to operate the morning LHR rotation with approx 2hr delay, so one suspects another u/s airframe
There is also one in EXT (arrived there yesterday) which was apparently for planned maint.
These issues with delayed airframe deliveries and keeping the ones they have serviceable seem to hurting them and their much-needed reputation badly.
BHX to EDI and GLA due to restart on Thursday (although other routes have had frequency reduced or have been temporarily suspended to make way)
