Looking at this airlines website, seems to offer some very random dates for travel, but also, the flight times seem to make no sense.

AEA211 ACE 0805 MAN 1220
AEA212 MAN 0300 ACE 0715
Thu

So, not only a mega early departure ex-MAN, but, looks like the aircraft is positioned in to Manchester, which can't be cheap considering they aim to be cheaper than the competition.

But this is the one that really confuses:

AEA243 TFS 0700 MAN 1125
AEA244 MAN 0525 TFS 0955
Fri

So, this seems to indicate one aircraft positions to MAN, then operates MAN-TFS. Then a completely different aircraft operates TFS-MAN before positioning out. Seems a rather convoluted way of operating the flights? Again, can't be a cheap way of doing it?

Now, unless the aircraft is MAN based, but then Lolo only has a few flights, certainly not enough to keep a based aircraft busy, and can't see an W patter flights to explain the MAN origin of the flights.

Wierd.
