Belfast City Airport-3

Allan, this doesn’t make any sense. Stobart wouldn’t need a UK AOC for Aer Lingus transatlantic operations. Aer Lingus has applied for one and that’s all that’s needed.

What Stobart does need a UK licence for is to continue operating ex BHD to the likes of Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and others. They haven’t got one yet but apparently have got some contingency plan ready.

From 1st Jan, the Stobart operated EI flight from BHD will be operated on behalf of British Airways. Seems just a paperwork exercise as the flights will still be ‘EI’ numbers and using EI systems and procedures.

Is that why all the Stobarts in BHD that are operating are the white airframes?

So far operating today is one white and one green. Yesterday it looked like it was one white and two green.

IOM flights and times now on Loganair website for sale. Looks like an early afternoon dep from BHD.
