The Woosh ATR had arrived earlier in the day from Norwich - it had spent precisely 12 hours in Sprayavia's painting complex at Norwich - went in white, came out the same, not sure if they couldn't afford a more complex colour scheme or that was it..

flywhoosh has actually taken off then (despite the cynics )
Fingers crossed for them. Credit where credit is due, they have delivered what they have promised so far to the best of my knowledge anyway.


Edit: An article of the launch days happenings from a local Dundee paper.

Choosing Dundee as there base is a bold and interesting move, hope they are successful.

Would like to see them fly from Plymouth in the future!

The Dornier Jet that was there is operated by Club Airways. A corporate hire aircraft I think.

Spoke to one of the ATCO's, numbers on flywhoosh not bad for first week, 2-20. Only time will tell i suppose. Also said bookings are coming in for open golf already, 2 globals and a variety already, think the swinging of a c152 will have to be cancelled due to lack of room !!!

Any news on how the new routes are doing?

I'm back up in Dundee now, my new house overlooks traffic in/outbound to DND, which I didn't realise when we were viewing it.

Birmingham numbers have been not too bad (or good) whichever way you look at them. Averaging 20-30 pax which for a route in its first month is good i would say. Did hear that belfast had been a bit of a struggle at times but was also picking up.

Rumours of a new route in the pipeline from whoosh !!

Read into this what you want to but I flew on the afternoon flight to BHX on Thursday and counted 22, saw the BHD flight arriving and there only seemed about 10-15 getting off.

Any rumours as to where Bill? Would that be operated by the current aircraft or would it necesitate bringing in another one, as they mentioned at the launch of their current routes?

DND-Newquay might be a good move. There's a hell of a lot of students up here, Newquay is a student hotspot in summer too (never been myself though).

I would have thought DUB would have been a potential route
