A Jetstream 32 has been leased from AIS Aviation, started operation this week alongside 'LNKS and 'JIBO.
Ignore the clip-art on their website; no 767s, just Jetstreams...

I thought they'd leased one?
Plus, it has operated well enough since the incident, why suddenly the trouble now.
Plus the one that is down won't be coming back any time soon.
They'd be better cancelling the whole DSA operation. A couple of flights a week on a 19 seater aircraft isn't of benefit to anyone, especially considering they're still advertising double daily flights (a service they're not actually operating) but it is hardly fair on passengers who book flight only to see it cancelled because they cannot keep to their own schedule.

G-INFO states that 'CONY has no active insurance, so I'm pretty sure it's grounded at present. Certainly haven't logged any movements from it in recent history.
I hadn't heard about the Metro lease.

Onyxcrowle -
Maybe you would be well advised to pause, take a deep breath, and just calm down. You have excelled yourself tonight with lengthy bizarre postings on multiple threads. I thought the one on the Prestwick thread was strange [Ryanair should sell as much piss as possible - line 5] but this rant is even better.
I have to smile when you lay into Timmy regarding Links Air with the comment: "they are not made of money". Please see your own 02:13 posting on the Knock thread suggesting Links Air operate DSA-NOC? How often have other posters including myself politely taken you to task for not taking into consideration the financial constraints affecting airlines and airports? Take note of Fairdealfrank's response to your latest suggestions on the Leeds thread. You need to take a good look closer to home before flaming other posters for not taking account of financial considerations.
You may not agree with Timmy's point of view, but he is entitled to present it to the forum. Argue against him (and others) if you must, but do so with dignity and respect. Other posters including myself have shown you a great deal of patience in the past. You need to reciprocate and show similar courtesy in your response to other contributors on these PPRuNe forums.
Perhaps you should start immediately by posting an apology to Timmy.

In terms of what?
They've massively reduced their schedule. From double daily Belfast flights to one flight only operating on a Monday, Friday and Sunday.

The Belfast flight is twice daily today but the Links Air website does appear to show quite a few flights missing in November.
Wasn't it Links Air that had a route from the now closed Blackpool airport?
Seems Doncaster is a great airport if you want to go to Poland in the evenings, not much happening during the day though.
I recall that the airport needed that huge expanse of controlled airspace because it was going to have 3m passengers, given that there is only 25% of that, how about giving back 75% of the airspace?
Could be another very quiet winter.

The Links schedule has been reduced to Monday, Friday and Sunday, this has been confirmed by the airport on Twitter.
Whether this is due to poor demand for the service, who knows, but you have to question the likelyhood of the service remaining in place seeing as they've quickly gone from 2 x daily to just 3 x weekly.

Timmy your constant deliberate attacks against links air must stop.
Your crossing a thin line.
You clearly hold a grudge.
I've half a mind to email them transcripts of all your near slanderous bike to. Them.
Hopefully they will legally shut you. Up.
All you are is a troll . You delight in deliberately dismissing and glorifying and are desperate for them. To fail. Well as a supporter of DSA you have gone too far.
Either zip it .
Unless you have something useful to say.

It appears that you are still struggling with the concept of arguing your case "with dignity and respect". You are kicking off because TimmyW has reported a significant schedule change affecting a DSA scheduled service. This is the DSA thread. Why does this news not constitute "something useful to say"? And why on earth is a factual report of a schedule adjustment confirmed by the airport itself "slanderous"? Threads such as this exist to enable interested parties to remain well informed about developments at the airport, positive and negative alike.
Links Air have adjusted their schedule to match anticipated Winter demand. That is sound business practice which gives their service the best possible prospect to survive and prosper going forward. Flying empty aeroplanes around at high frequency in low season is not sound business practice … it is the express highway to insolvency. Evidence of common sense management strategy at Links Air or any other business is good news, not bad.
And do rethink the stuff about being a "supporter" of DSA. An airport is a business, not a football team. If you have a liking for the place that's fine, but this concept of kicking off at anybody who reports factual developments which you perceive to be "bad news" is simply not on. This board is intended for the use of professionals who need to be fully informed, not fed carefully filtered good news stories North Korea style.
Did you apologise to TimmyW after your last rant? Because I didn't see it. Maybe you PM'd him? Well, if not, you still owe him an apology. Please stick to discussion of the airport and its services and keep tiresome personal attacks out of it. Think "zip it" on the personal stuff.

Onyxcrowle: Timmy is reporting facts as they stand this is not trolling. His posts are more enlightening than your often rambling postings with bizarre suggestions. Instead of your fanciful late night ramblings with talk of odd city pairs and unlikely operators and fantasy routes, Timmy is reporting factual accounts of what is actually happening.
Lets be fair - Timmy W doesn't just report the facts, but puts is own negative twist on them - not just in relation to Links Air but DSA in general.
These comments are opinion, not fact:

DSA- BHD now only one flight operating on a Monday, Friday and Sunday. Tells its own story I think.
