IAC Scatsta Contract
Irrespective of the reasons for cancelling Flightline's contract, the 146 has proven to be the ideal aircraft to operate in and out of SCS, given the following conditions that exist:
- length and width of the strip
- the often extreme weather conditions (stong winds, poor vis and typical winter related problems)
- the size of the loads, not only regular loads, but those that exist when weather delays require a maximum payload to be carried.
Those who travel on these flights would receive a much poorer service, should the BAe 146 be removed from the route. Perhaps a requirement for later versions of the type may be in order.
