Blue Islands are receiving so much bad press in the Islands at present they are giving Condor ferries a run for their Money. I cant help thinking that thrashing around the sky's in Aircraft approaching 30 years old which were probably been disguarded by African carriers years ago! I was on the 42-500 last week which was covering all routes due to the others going tech, it looks OK from outside due to new paint job but really showing age inside and this is one of their newer ones. Rob Veron said all would be ok from 1 August - delays and cancellations again yesterday with the last SOU - JER passing overhead around 23:30.
I know we want a service at a certain price which means that new equipment may be out of the question but surely using these ancient Aircraft is false economy in the long run?
