Is there a possibility that LGW based A319 would operate The early service to DUB (the remaining DUB services seem to be on DUB based aircraft). The aircraft then seems to operate to NOC and the late evening BHD service. The aircraft seems to fly something like this...
EI 231 LGW 0650 DUB 0810
EI 232 DUB 0850 LGW 1010
EI 911 LGW 1040 NOC 1210
EI 912 NOC 1245 LGW 1415
? EI 815 LGW 1450 ORK 1615
? EI 814 ORK 1655 LGW 1815
EI 29 LGW 1855 BHD 2015
EI 28 BHD 2050 LGW 2210
The timings I have used for EI815/814 are those currently in the EI booking schedule and happen to fit pretty well so it would seem the current plan is to have me flight each to DUB, NOC, ORK and BHD by an LGW aircraft, most likely an A319, although as said earlier this could change.
Incidentally what is the night curfew at BHD, some articles suggest 2130? Hopefully the aircraft won't pick up to many delays thought the day, although NOC and ORK are not especially known for congestion delays!
Is there any chance that we might see a LDY sector replace the ORK? It seems EI have confirmed ORK has been dropped, looking at the timings there is only room for a shortish sector.
