ditzyboy,
It's to do with the seating capacity of a turbine engined aircraft operating an RPT service, the requirement comes in at around 60 seats I think, but not 100% sure. It's not my department, so I'm not a full bottle on it.
L.R.H.,
I realised you asked the question because you weren't sure. But that in itself surprises me given your background in the industry, especially with particular reference to the company in question on this particular thread, since they operated the jet equipment on both charter and RPT ops and continue to do so (until they go broke, anyway!)
I'm not sure how things are going in the northern end of YPPH, I haven't worked there for quite some time. Guess again!
520.
