Eastern Airways-2

[Wolfgang5150]

My thoughts exactly, there can't be many left.

[EGPO]

I still predict Eastern will be bought out Probably by Flybe or Stobart .
Unless one of the LOCOS decides they want to branch out to prop routes lol .

What is worth buying, a fleet of geriatric and long since out of production turboprops of little value and some routes that are so profitable that Eastern finds itself in the mess it does?

The two new Atr's and the Bristows contract - but as they're owned by Bristows...

[EGPO]

I was under the Impression they Also own a majority stake in HUY along with North Lincs CC.

[SWBKCB]

The airport is a subsidiary of Eastern which is a subsidiary of Bristows.

Eastern Airways folded in the 1980's, don't you mean Air Kilroe?

[SWBKCB]

I'm going by what Companies House says...

[Harry Wayfarers]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Airways

Air Kilroe Limited, trading as Eastern Airways, is a British airline whose head office is at Humberside Airportnear the village of Kirmington, North Lincolnshire,

[Flightrider]

I suggest you look at Companies House and not Wikipedia. The AOC is indeed Air Kilroe trading as Eastern Airways but there are a number of other trading entities as Eastern Airways (UK, Europe, International) and it is under one of those that the airport ownership sits today, regardless of whatever happened in the 1980s which really isn't relevant.

Belly Up?

A friend of mine is thinking of applying for Cabin Crew with EA....is that a wise move, or is the whole thing going to go belly up in the near future?

Do we have 'Crystal Balls'!

Honestly how can anyone seriously answer that question!

[Wolfgang5150]

Crystal Balls

I just wanted to get a few opinions. Maybe I should have worded my post differently so as not to attract Mr Angry et al. Happy Easter x

[canberra97]

Yes perhaps you should have done, then perhaps ''Mr Angry'' wouldn't have replied in the way that he did!

[Wolfgang5150]

Angry!

Point taken Mr A, now go have a creme egg and calm down.
Anyway, if there's anyone who'd like to give a civilized answer to my post regarding employment with EA I'd love to hear your views.

Canberra does has a point though. Most on here wouldn’t know whether it will or not. Tell your friend to go for it. No point in worrying about something that doesn’t happen.

A lot of crew contracts are fixed term for the first season so same thing there really will I have a job won’t I?

Assume this will allow BE to close their ABZ base (if it even is a base anymore!)

It looks like Flybe are using the Q400 currently used for ABZ-LCY to increase capacity on their BHD-LCY route, which is receiving x12 weekly additional flights (x2 daily Mon-Fri & x1 daily Sat/Sun) from 7th May.
