Swiss are on the record as saying their CS is costing 25% less to operate than the RJ100’s they replaced. Fleetwide, that’s a lot of money and will filter down to bottom line profits on the routes they operate it on. Passengers love it too. They spent years shoe-horning their laptops into the glove box sized overhead bins and then noisily bumbling around the sky at 29,000 ft then landing to discover their colleagues who departing after them on BA waiting in arrivals. I’m sure more personal space, a bigger toilet with a proper flush rather than the old “pot and flap” help too!

The aircraft is a great fit for SEN in my view. Maybe Stobart should buy some?
