ch-aviation report today that Aer Arann's order for eight ATR-72-600s has been finalised with the manufacturer. No details are given for delivery dates.
Good news for Aer Arann. Apparently there should be an announcement soon on Stobart's plans for the carrier. I wonder if that old Carlisle - SEN proposal rears its head again? Still some appeals and judicial reviews to go for the Carlisle expansion though....
Incidentally, I notice that ch-aviation shows SEN as having a runway of
1,605 m / 5,266 ft length. Several websites have failed to pick up on the extension to 1,856m. Surely SEN should be scouring all websites to ensure they have the latest information....?
