The Embraer has at last been retired and departed to EXT this afternoon.

[ICEHOUSES]

Does anyone know if the Aurigny Jet has been sold to another operator for further service?

[ChalfontFlyer]

E195 next operator

I read elsewhere a while back that it is going to Airlink in South Africa. It didn’t say though if it was a direct sale or a deal through a leasing company.

Thanks for the info

Crikey, there is a 36 year old Saab340 on the Manchester service this morning. A bit of a downgrade from the Embraer/ATR.

Was that the RAF-Avia aircraft? It's also done Guernsey - Southampton (although should have been Guernsey Gatwick if I am reading things correctly)

The Embraer has gone to pastures new !!

I noticed the Saab was also used into BHX over the weekend but needed to fly twice to pick up the load of the ATR…. Certainly testing times recently for ATR operators

Talking of which, seems that G-ORAI is finally due back from Dinard tomorrow.

[Nuweiba]

Don't think it came.... and scheduled to operate the red eye to Southampton tomorrow.

G-ORAI has finally arrived home earlier this morning which should hopefully help improve things.

Looks like Aurigny are covering one of the Blue Islands GCI - SOU rotations tomorrow now they have 4 ATRs available to them.

The forth being a leased in a/c due to their own ATR issues.

Blue Islands are also deeply in the mire having their own issues with the ATR fleet. Of the five registered to them, only one is in service. Blue Islands Fleet List (jethroseu.co.uk)

Respect to Aurigny, given their own problems, for stepping in, knowing full well the problems facing Blue Islands.
