Another few rumours regarding Eastern
T3 to drop its route to Southampton for the summer. (Currently Operates 2x Daily) (from a very credible source, and hardly surprising seeing as it competes with Flybe, and hasnt got the most practical timings. SOU also served from MME)
Also, the much discussed tie-in with Air Southwest, would see T3 operate the daily Plymouth/Newquay service, but with a reduced product onboard. (Not so sure about this one, but could it be that ASW are simply chartering a T3 aircraft again, but basing it at NCL to operate those sectors). Suggestion is that the service would be on the Saab2000, and would start in Aberdeen (route would be ABZ-NCL-PLH-NQY-NCL-ABZ). When the Embraers come online, might free up an S20 somewhere?
Delivery of Embraers is imminent, with first aircraft to be delivered into NCL in a few weeks to be looked at by engineers. No mention of any set date though as yet.
RTG!
