So much confusion over this. The EAS flights were not operated on behalf of JEA. They were Intra route licences resulting from the takeover of Intra assets by EAS/Fields Aviation. The only connection between JEA and EAS was the marketing agreement for 1980 only. The EAS flights were listed as JY in the timetable but operated under EAS callsigns. In Jersey JEA flights operated by JEA were handled by Servisair. JEA flights operated by EAS were handled by British Midland. EAS/Fields allocated two Heralds and one ex Intra Viscount to the routes
