With regards to the extract in the official announcement that reads 'Regional core services within the UK and from/to Ireland will be supplemented with off-peak leisure flights to selected Ski, Regional French and Northern Spanish destinations'.
I presume they plan to serve these destinations using the aircraft down time that are allocated to the core UK/Ireland routes. Are these destinations capable of being reached by a Dash 8? (with the exception of the Regional French airports) It made me wonder if they were planning to deploy the Embraer's, from memory, the official statement didn't mention the Dash 8 specifically?
