Not a good day for SI.

Zurich, Amsterdam and Paris closing today along with Geneva going winter only and Southampton from Jersey in late October bringing the total to four routes gone and one seriously reduced within just over a month. But then old habits die hard, and SI management have always (even right back before the days Slasher Sabin) had a tendency to slash and burn. Grand total now up to 21 since 2001...

At least growth of JER-LCY to 3x daily is something of a boon, and loads/yields seem positive. Whether pax buy into the codeshare remains to be seen, but what has been sacrificed in direct connectivity has at least been replaced by regularity.

We know the Wetdreams are off (at last) - but an ATR is now liberated. All I know is there's a DAT AT7 sitting in GCI on ACMI currently keeping up the SOU route during fleet maintenance downtime, and that must be costing a penny or three. Bets on what will happen to spare capacity? To cull or not to cull?
