G-MAJZ and G-MAJU have both been at Cranfield since October, however both just sat outside and don't appear to be getting worked on judging from photos. Any idea what they're doing there?
Saab 2000 G-CERY was "cancelled by CAA" this week.
Active fleet down to; 2x ATR 72s, 2x E145s, 3x Saabs and 6x Jetream 41s

JT back in the air this week after nearly a month at MME. New engine fitted in December but took them a while to get it airborne after high powered engine runs. Three or four planned air tests which didn’t go ahead.
Looks like JY is u/s so down to 5 serviceable 41’s at the moment, which doesn’t cover their operations

Eastern down to 4 41s. JA/JB/JD/JL.
JY has just been scrapped. No word yet on JU/JZ which are at cranfield.
SK which is in rodez is purportedly going into LBA once the last flights have been flown.

Eastern Airways are set to re-acquire Embraer 170 this month and add a further 3x larger Embraer 190s later this year.

Perhaps eastern airways have already got in place work for the 170 and the 3 x 190's that are coming to the fleet.
Didn't they assist BA Cityflyer before ????

The E170 isn't new - it's the same one they had before that's been in Naples for more than a year as apparently they tried and tried to get it into the specific condition to give it back to its owner.
The latest stuff filed at Companies House is interesting though. Both bits of Eastern made losses last year but I guess that's not too relevant as it was before the buy-out from Bristow and the lump of cash that came with it. More interesting are the filings before Christmas when the five Embraer 135s and 145s were pledged as security for a loan made into Eastern in October by a company which looks to be the private holding vehicle of Eastern's owner - so if the loan isn't repaid, guess what happens to the aircraft! If the entire lump of cash from Bristow was gone by October and they needed more money, things must be difficult?
