I remember the Blue Islands MD always used to spout the 'we always have a spare aircraft available in times of delay' line - not anymore it seems.
When you have a fleet of 5 aircraft, and 2 of them are out of service. It's difficult for the 1 spare aircraft to cover both!
Bound to be many disgruntled pax today with a lot of cancelled flights at Jersey. Two a/c appear to be unavailable (ATR42 G-ISLH and ATR72 G-ISLL), all services being operated by ATR72s G-ISLI and -ISLK.
Can you elaborate on "a lot of cancelled flights"? How many exactly? If 2 aircraft were still running the schedule, it can't have been that many given their schedule. Also I would've thought there would've been rebooking options to later flights given their network.
Meanwhile ATR42 G-ISLF appears to be doing multiple charters. Is this how the airline plans to make money, cancelling schedules and giving priority to charter work which is probably more lucrative?
If the aircraft was assigned to a charter, then it should do a charter. It's likely for a sports team this time of year. Should they have cancelled the charter and the result being a game being cancelled?
They are a business...
It's called operational decisions, they aren't picking on you...
