The Cardiff times are interesting as it means that the aircraft will sit on the ground for 2 and a half hours at Cardiff after the returning from Anglesey. It usually departs for NCL at 10.20 and will depart for my flight to ABZ in March at 10.20 as well.
It also looks like CWL may lose Aberdeen. Again!

I'm a little confused with the above timetable. I'm guessing it's only specific for the aircraft based at, or running through MME. From what I can work out regarding CWL the top half schedule:
From 10th Feb: 2x J41's per day, one based at MME which ends its day at CWL and one based at CWL which ends its day at MME.
From 4th Mar: 2x J41's per day operating the same way as above & ER4 operating the new MME routes.
From 27th Apr: 2x J41's per day both based at MME & the ER4. CWL see's ABZ-MME-CWL in AM but only CWL-MME in PM, no connection or onward to ABZ. This however isn't reflected by what's on sale on Flybe's website which is as per prior to 27th Apr change. (When doing a dummy booking in May)
Lastly, and a topic probably more suited to the CWL thread but worth noting regarding what T3 are planning, the CWL-VLY PSO service isn't shown on this timetable. Assuming they are either pulling the plug or continuing to base an aircraft at CWL and not use it for the MME services, which seems poor aircraft utilisation having sat around all day again.

It’s not the messiah...it’s a very dodgy airline! Sorry MP.
Pulled to shreds over the last couple of years on this and other threads..!
At least Eastern are giving TIA a go....who knows where it will end..but it’s up to the Teesside public to back these routes as per
the outcry for more routes and a viable airport.
Is it a vanity project..or has the mayor judged the groundswell of opinion just right?

Flybe gained funding from CWL and DSA for project Blackbird despite CWL being owned by the Welsh Government. I wonder if Eastern have been given a similar deal on a smaller financial scale to get these routes going?

Lets see how it takes before they mess this up. Glasgow barely lasted 3 months.
And Eastern have been trying to get rid of the Saab2000s since the start of 2019. And the J41s days are numbered, unless the plan to buy back the 41s that they sold to Easyfly and Yeti airlines.
The Ejets are planned to go into operation for BACF again, although T3 could bid for the Airbus contract again, however, they need to improve and apologise to Airbus for the poor operation of the contract last time.

I've said before - they will not be welcome back at BACF after the fiasco last time. If they are taking the EJets back in the hope of a BACF contract, it's a big miscalculation.

Good spot! It would be interesting to know what was written above that sentence.
