Yes i agree with you for someone like Blueislands to take on the Stansted route with a Jetstream and make it pay would be difficult.
There has been talk about them looking into the fifty seater aircraft for a number of routes one was the Guernsey-Southampton.
With the new owners of the Atlantique group stating in the local paper they are looking at leaseing the aircraft out, could this be an avenue where Blueislands might take up an option and look at operating the ATR aircraft on some of there routes??
Could the Atlantique ATR 72 G-HERM be heading for a long life operating with the Aurigny fleet on a long term lease agreement as remour had it that Aurigny were interested in this aircraft and another ATR72 was joining the fleet shortly??
Could one or two of the Atlanique ATR 42s be heading for a life in the Blueisland operation in the new year??
