Unless I'm mistaken - often am - 72 isn't approved in to LCY and Stobart only has one 42 if I recall correctly. If the E jets are going, there's no scope in Stobart to fly in to LCY.

According to Flight Global.....ATR has secured approval for its ATR 72 turboprop to operate to London City Airport.
The approval followed trials at the airport conducted on 30 January. (2009)

I can't see the logic of Stobart of wanting BHD LGW slots unless they were talking to Aer Lingus about operating it as EI franchise by Embraer, obviously before these airctaft were earmarked for withdrawl..

I wonder if this is something to do with Eastern Airways Seven new routes that was announced in March.
But held back until the end of peak of Covid -19.
Only one route is known so far is announced route for Southampton to Dublin.
Quite sure the other 6 routes are from Belfast City.

Teesside - Newquay
Leeds - Newquay
It is likely Southampton and Belfast will have more new routes though

LGW seems to be one going by the ACL data, if i was forced to place a bet on others I would say LCY and MAN as strong contenders with possibly EDI or MAN as thd others but in covid times Timbuktu is as likey!

I believe it was actually Aer Arann , Stobart predecessor, that got the ATR72 certified for LCY ops. They used to fly LCY-IOM.

I am surprised that no one has reported this or have l missed it?
The closure of Stobart Air’s base at Southend airport with the loss of 66 jobs has been described as a “bitter blow”.

Most likely to be Belfast-City, if you look at the LGW. Stobart were granted slots to operate to BHD and so wouldn’t be surprised if there for the same reason here at MAN.

"Stobart Air was only saved to prevent group collapse - MD"
The Irish Independent reports (my emphasis):
The Irish Independent reports (my emphasis):
Dublin-based Stobart Air, which operates the Aer Lingus Regional service, was only saved from receivership by the UK's Stobart Group to prevent the group itself from collapsing, the managing director of the Irish airline has confirmed.
In an internal Stobart Air memo seen by the Irish Independent which details minutes of a crisis meeting held two weeks ago, managing director Andy Jolly also said that Stobart Group has no intention of owning Stobart Air in the long term and won't bankroll an expansion the carrier had planned at Belfast and the Isle of Man.
The current contract Stobart Air has with Aer Lingus expires at the end of 2022.

they must be getting money from one of three places to run these either from NI Executive, Cyrus Capital or IAG

Would the backers of BHD potentially invest in airline to keep airport viable until such timex as it can be sold. The chat around BHD does seem to indicate thatvthe Sobart flights are happening

It's likely very much in certain people's interests to insist that these flights will happen. And they may well launch.
From the previous post it's likely that Cyrus and IAG won't be at the front of the queue to bankroll. And it will be interesting to see how the other named party squares off their participation in the project.
It does look very much like a house of cards waiting to unravel, particularly in the current operating environment, but then again time bought no matter how short will have a value to those directly driving the idea.
