I am lead to believe that the Eastern ERJ-135 is based in NWI. They operate one 135 and it is wet leased from City Airline in Sweden. I am very interested to hear about the teletext rumour that bmi intends to start ABZ-EMA. I don't believe that for a minute since bmi regional used to operate the route with the Saab 340 and in some extreme cases you would have more crew on board than passengers! They offloaded the route to Eastern so I would be very surprised if they wanted to pick the route again.
