T3 today combined there late afternoon ABZ-HUY-ABZ and ABZ-NCL-ABZ with a ABZ-NCL-HUY-ABZ flight operated by a ER4. I am guessing this is due to a lack of serviceable J41 aircraft. I am sure passengers the NCL-ABZ passengers will be less than happy with the stop over in HUY especially as it will add nearly 90 mins to there flights time.

Today
Just want to add there is 3 Saab 2000s, G-CDKA also in the fleet this ac was IOM based for BA cityflyer.
When combining flights the aircraft flies into first affected airport so would route ABZ-NCL-HUY. The exception to this would be when the aircraft needs to end in a specific airport.
Previously operated combined flights were ABZ-MME-NCL to ensure the aircraft was at NCL for the early morning rotation.

This contract ended over a year ago, did they find a new home for the aircraft ?

Eastern service between ABZ - NWI ends next week on the 25th October, as per flybe website and when I contacted Eastern today to ask about the service. Loganair shall be the Sole operator on the route from now on.

J41s
Currently just JB, JD, JL, JY operational. Plan is to get back to 10 operational but most need C checks and other repairs. Plus they need the new ADS-B equipment fitting.
41s are past it and hated by passengers and some crews alike.

How many active Saabs and Embraers do they have? If I am not mistaken, they will be down soon to eight scheduled routes that require six aircraft:
#1 @ CWL
#2 @ LBA
#3 @ HUY
#4 @ MME
#5 @ NCL
#6 @ RDZ
#1-#5 are scheduled with J41s, #6 with an ER4. None with a Saab.
Not sure what 10 Jetstreams would be used for? After the tie-up of FlyBE and Loganair, some ABZ-routes offered also by Loganair could be the next to go.
