Can anybody confirm if Embraer 135 type aircraft are certified to fly into LCY
Yes they are, Luxair used to fly the 135 there before switching to Q400's.
But honestly, I can't see there being any takers for LCY. I'd go as far to say if BA couldn't make it work, no one can.
BA, VS & EZY can all absorb the end of this service with their current services by up-gauging or increasing frequency.
