I've been spotting at Plymouth for over 4 years and was suprised to see that Eastern have totally ditched Air Southwest in terms of NQY & PLH.
I honestly wouldn't be suprised if this is a plan that SHH and T3 have concocted.
By SHH selling the airline, there fore there is no real reason for them to keep the airport going, close the airport, which gives T3 a good excuse to close the airline to.
Is it not to my understanding that Eastern didn't pay to buy the airline, yet got given £3Million in advanced bookings? Almost as though SHH paid Eastern to get the airline of their hands?
I'm sorry, but I've been around these people and companies for years and I don't think it's as easy as closing the airport, they are a development company and is obviously some plan going on behind the scenes to re-develop that land. I know this is the ASW thread but it's all interlinked.
Eastern have obtained 5 planes that would fit on their network, though why three are/have gone is beyond me.
