It seems that the relationship between Stobart Air and the airports has become more "arms-length" than it was. I believe that EI own the -600s and lease them to STK, which probably dictates a large part of where they operate to. Stobart allowed flyBe to take over the DUB-SEN route, for reasons which were never clear to me. Its strange that they have never resumed the route - unless the aircraft can gain better returns elsewhere.

I heard recently that some of Stobart's ATR 72-600s are configured differently than the standard 72 seats, could anyone provide any further information please? Geeky question... sorry!

It's reliable alright. Those 3 are to cease at the end of October.
I'd imagine BE would pick up the DSA, and the whole reason why EIR have dropped CWL is the whole BE thing.
As for EMA i'm not sure.

Isn't the fleet due to be reduced for winter schedule with the retiring of some of the older birds? With that in mind and the cost of constantly having a wet leased 'flying clown' hanging around (currently OY-RUG) it's understandable to cut the more marginal routes.
Perhaps suggests there isn't any plans to add new 42's to the fleet.

Looking on FR24, it appears that the 2 aircraft owned by Jota have been operating for flights sold on the Flybe website but operated under commercial responsibility of Stobart. If I look on the Flybe website, the same route-date-time flight combinations (but over the next 2 week period) are listed as being operated by Stobart Air, rather than Jota. I remember earlier in the spring the Flybe website made explicit mention of Jota as being the operator of these flights
Has something changed in the relationship between Stobart and Jota to cause this to become a drier lease than the previous wet lease, or is this just the Flybe website giving incorrect info ?

I would say smart move, Stobart have got some interesting players onboard including Warwick Brady who would be more than capable of running a combined airline. Maybe the fresh start and thinking it needs.
