Cityjet to begin replacing the Avro146
The head of Cityjet said that it was not planned in the near future to replace the fleet, and if I remember rightly that was late last year.
If they do decide to change the choices will obviously be limited to those aircraft certified or likely to be certified to land at LCY. Would assume another jet type.
-Embraer 190, 170
-Airbus 318 (I think most unlikely due to higher op costs)
-C Series (if certified)
-Dash 8 Q400 for F50s?
-ATR 72 for F50s?
Can't think of any other types. Would like to see C Series getting an order, but the type would need to be tested and it is not even flying yet.
C Series is expected to do 1st flight late 2012, a bit of way to go yet!
