I had wondered why I've been bumping into SNN crew all over the network these past few weeks. I guess, the wet leased OY-RUG will be used to wind down operations with A/C deployed elsewhere.
I do believe the intention is to keep the 42's for as long as possible and maybe replace with newer frames - guess that might depend on the PSO routes. Stumbling block maybe the costs of operating the 42 500/600s will be a chunk greater than the current 2 skips. I do hope, and expect that ORK-DUB will resurface in 2015.
Any news on where EI-EHH is at the moment?
Any idea if/when this base closure is to be confirmed? If so it's a big loss to Shannon!
As regards EI-EHH it hasn't flown in nearly two weeks,I don't know where it is or what's up with it but hopefully it will enter service again soon. I also think that the ATR43's will stay in service for a while as some routes need them to remain and they could possibly develop new routes.
