It would make sense if ORK became a 3 A/C base?

It also looks like STK have not taken up their options for additional A/C with MSN 1239 heading to Air Madagascar.

Perhaps a wise move with competition increasing on UK-Ireland routes with BE and VLM.

In all honesty, how long do we think the W6 CWL operation will last? REI will be back soon enough.
Not sure either had any bearing on the decision!

VLM - Nothing to fear

BE - Picking up scraps left by Stobart in recent years, DUB-INV/SEN/BOH, ORK-CWL all scrapped. DUB-CWL will go once the money taps stops, CWL better hope EIR don't leave before!

They need a year or two with moderate growth to ensure long term profitability, not exactly sure where additional capacity would be required currently anyway.
