ZT is the only airline that Cityjet, BACF etc can charter to operate services for them ex LCY. Especially after Flightline went under.
That's why I was suprised they wanted to sell their Bae146's. The LCY ACMI market is a niche market for ZT. If they wanted to modernise their fleet they could add newer RJ85's/RJ100's to replace the 146's. There are a few out there waiting for another operator.
