Details on the new AF/WX schedule:

GVA: new, 5th rotation GVA 1230 - 1315 LCY 1345 - 1630 GVA

EDI: goes all RJ85 with the exception of one daily flight that remains on a D328 (LCY 2025 - 2150 EDI 0750 - 0915).

PAR: one daily rotation added. Departures to ORY now at 0800, 1200, 1550, 1830 and 1940.

SXB: one daily rotation axed. Departures to SXB now only at 0945 and 1655.

ZRH: route axed.

So all in all 5 frequencies go (4x ZRH, 1x SXB) and 2 are added (1x GVA, 1x ORY), so a net loss frequency-wise of 3 departures. Either this in preparation of surrendering the slots in order to obtain the OFT clearance for the VLM take-over, or for starting up a new thrice-daily route (JER?, IOM?). Haven't really checked in detail. but the slots should allow for a decent timetable and for both basing an aircraft at LCY or elsewhere.

Scot Airways operation down to three aircraft, with one each based at DND, LCY and EDI. I think they have four on the franchise at the moment.
