Only 9 Jetstreams seem airworthy now with 5 or 6 in actual service on the schedule and contract flights.

They've recorded the smallest of operational profits for the last financial year, around 1% on their turnover. (214k profit on 22m turnover.) Last year's was about 2%.
So they do make money on their operations, albeit by the smallest of margins.

There are so many companies within the group that looking at any one individually doesn't give you a clear or full picture of the financials. One could be forgiven for thinking that might be the whole point. Get up to the ultimate parent company where all of this is brought together and last year looks like a couple of million loss. But who really knows?

Would be odd having just brought in 4 x Embraer’s that seem to be regularly busy with charters. The second 190 has recently been activated.
They seem to do most football charters now and the Paris route at SOU seems much more punctual now. It is Eastern we are talking about though so anything is possible.

A profit in the aviation business is still something.

It may be in support of another forthcoming charter /contract with the Embraers or ATRs. When Eastern had the E190 and ATR operating out of Lisbon for TAP, a J41 was used before the charter to take equipment and spare parts etc out and then again to return them after the charter contract had ended. It's more likely to be something like this than a charter all the way to Palma in a J41 when they have much more suitable aircraft to operate it.
