Aer Arann have said they are interested in basing a ATR42 at Carlisle Airport and open routes to SEN and DUB however this depends on weather the local council give the go ahead for a cargo center which would involve resurfacing the runway at the airport.

IF Ryanair do succeed in taking over Aer Lingus, I wonder how that might affect Regional/Arann/Stobart ?

EIR Waterford
LTN/SEN services badly affected since last night - hear there was a technical problem and forced return to LTN?
Their schedule today to/from WAT is shot to pieces and this follows severe disruption the other night with a very very late rotation to/from SEN.
Have to say that EIR/RE's ability to get itself into the mire seems to happen more frequently and they appear to have trouble resolving problems. I like them but I speak from experienceand hope that they're not over-stretching themselves before/if/when the fleet is expanded.

Diversions from Cork yesterday and today as aircraft and/or crew were not abe to carry out Cat II approaches. Always better to have CAT 2 capability when operating to Cork in summers like this.

Not meaning to scaremonger here but what's happening with RE these days? A quick count of events on Avherald shows 6 events so far this year including a couple of serious ones (e.g. In-flight shutdowns).
As for an ATR order it'd be welcome news but hope they have appropriate financing in place first.

In reference to the ATR Incident at LTN, I think I am right in saying that this was a Ryanair machine originally quite some time ago, as I recall it operated Dublin- Isle of Man on behalf of Manx Airlines when their Shorts 360 went tech and it came out of service with Ryanair in 2002 when the last Waterford Stansted flight operated??? EI-BYO?

Thanks propburner; good to know. I was reasonably sure, and I did recall in August 1992 when the ATR 42 Ryanair routes were finished, WAT STN and GWY STN. And from then on FR concentrated on one type BAC1-11 and then transition into 737-200!!!
That looks like a useful site too.

Interestingly the BHX-NOC flight again looks like a W routing but no a/c knocking around on the current schedule to facilitate it. Wondering will the schedules be altered or will this perhaps be operated by a BHD based a/c?? Also the a/c type has been changed from 72-212 to 72-500, and the fares on the route seem to have inflated massively! About £100+ return - that won't last I'm sure!

BHX-NOC & SNN
mart901
Glad to see BHX-SNN back to the evening rotation, as the May figures
fell through the floor with the early morning arrival at BHX.
Certainly the schedule does not fit the BHX-NOC times and this will fuel rumours that a potential BHD based aircraft will operate the flight.
Of course they might just re-time the Shannon.

yes it does look like SNN base will be one a/c over winter, with 2x daily MAN, 1x BRS(w from ORK), 1 x BHX and 1 x EDI, can't see how that could be squeezed any further.
