EF appeared to be unserviceable again this morning creating 4 hours delays on their later flights. It did get airborne after lunch and is back online. When will Stobart Air be able to return this aircraft back to Flybe?

I don't believe they can return them as they they bought them.

Is G-FBEF not due to go back to Flybe fairly soon now? All I know is what I learn from this forum, but I believe that EB is not part of the final deal. Can anyone in the know say when this demon is due back with Flybe and Stobart gets a more reliable replacement. I've got October in mind but as I say, all I know is what I pick up here.

EZY flight to/from AMS delayed 4 hours, but the inbound to SEN will divert to LTN in the early hours "due to lack of human resources at SEN"....or is this a cheaper way to get their rescue plane back to base LTN earlier. Pax will be bused to SEN. In case you didn't know one of the OE- reg A319s went tech early this morning and a replacement was sent in from LTN to operate the Alicante and Amsterdam flights.

SEN has managed to stay open until 2am for one of their own E195s, I don’t see why EZY will be any different? Perhaps a poorly veiled attempt to evade compensation by saying its out of their hands?

Not sure if it’ll save them money on ferrying, although crew hours might be an issue if they were to do LTN-SEN-ALC-SEN-AMS-SEN-LTN?

Was this from Easy themselves?
On the EasyJet site it said that the plane was needed back at Luton for the following days programme- no lie there

I took it from the tracking section on their business part of website. Lack of human resources at SEN it said. Maybe they later changed it

Thanks for that , looks indeed like they must have changed it after you noticed it.
Perhaps somebody thought better and decided to tell the real reason

More lies?
EZY flight SEN-PMI delayed 45 mins, which in itself is not too bad, but the excuse given on website says "due to congestion at departure airport. Aircraft may be pushed back on time but must wait in a holding area". Have you seen the departures board for that period? I think three departures.

Airport lounge
Has anyone used the lounge at SEN since it was voted the worst in Britain? I've have a flight out of SEN in a couple of days and not keen on giving the lounge £20 if nothing has improved . At the same time I don't want to suffer queues downstairs as I understand the concessions are still under construction/refurbishment .
