o an interesting reversal of viewpoint if they are going back to the Junglie.
Has probably more to do with the lack of available Saab 2000 and/or trained crew than anything else. Remember that only 60 Saab 2000 were delivered - of which 15 have been converted into military/corporate aircraft, 2 have been written-off and of which Eastern already has already 8 on strength. That means that any additional aircraft have to be sourced from a pool of just 35 or so aicraft in operation with other airlines.
