circa 5 hours delay on Birmingham Belfast the other night. Looks like it was cancelled in the end but not sure. lots of other delays too.
Not great reviews on trustpilot. Still (but carried over from V.1) a 81% poor rating.
I really do hope they make a success of it as they do have great crews working for them.

The spare aircraft should help with punctuality and reliability. With 20/20 hindsight perhaps not starting some routes until 'OR was delivered or chartering in an extra airframe might have been sensible, though of course adding cost.

Best to learn to walk before you can run. Especially as a brand new airline!

I heard they were out a couple of weeks ago trying to charter additional aircraft for the whole summer, looking for E190/ATR72. May be wrong, but I'd guess there probably wasn't anything out there - business has come booming back for most ACMI providers.

First revenue service should be to BHD at 1810.

Looks like this didn't happen today. The current schedule needs 2 a/c at this time at BHX (one arrives from AMS at the same time - 1810 - as another is needed for scheduled departure to BHD), so the departure to BHD was operated by ECOE with approx 40min delay after it arrived from AMS. The schedule needed 4 a/c from the day these services started (28th Apr) really.

Looks like ops have settled down a bit over the last few days now that 4 a/c are in service. Most flights on or near to schedule.
Some high fares on BHX-BHD and a few flights showing sold out on this route over the next week or so, so (just based on publicly available info) that route looks to be doing ok. Others less so, particularly LBA-LHR. Codeshares are apparently "work in progress".
