Ballsout the umbrellas are at the ready.
However as I understand it we are NOT taking any of the bacon fleet they remain with BA until they are replaced by flybe airframes and at which point BA will dispose them.
We are not purchasing any additional aircraft to support this expansion, the 60ish Q400’s and 20ish E195’s are already on order or option and have been for some time.
One of the major reasons for taking bacon is so we have something to do with all these ordered aircraft and to have enough pilots to fly them.
