Assume this will allow BE to close their ABZ base (if it even is a base anymore!)

Long term T3 plan to replace the S2000 with a E70 (S2000 showing as operating through until at least November) BE7611 ABZ 07:15 LCY 09:05 S20 x67 BE7616 ABZ 17:10 LCY 19:00 S20 x6 BE7612 LCY 09:35 ABZ 11:10 S20 x67 BE7617 LCY 19:30 ABZ 21:05 S20 x6 Eastern Airways to take over LCY-Aberdeen route | Buying Business Travel Flights are currently operated by a 78 seat DH4 12 x weekly (2 x daily Mon-Fri & 1 x daily Sat/Sun) |
S2000 G-CDEB was WFU on 1st April and flown to Berne on 9th April. Aircraft now registered to Skyworks as HB-IZT

The following changes have been made to T3 operated BE Flights. Aberdeen to Leeds Bradford - No longer available to book after 03JUN18 Aberdeen to Southampton via Leeds Bradford - No longer available to book after 03JUN18* Belfast City to Isle of Man - No longer available to book after 11JUN18 Newcastle to Belfast City - No longer available to book after 11JUN18 Newcastle to Isle of Man - No longer available to book after 11JUN18 * BE flights from Leeds Bradford to Southampton - Are still available to book. |
That suggests to me that the Eastern/Flybe tie-up is slowly being dissolved.
|
Now what happens to T3 |

The days also seem to be numbered when it comes to T3’s E70 ops at BHD. The aircraft is showing as operating a reduced number of flights from 8th May and is not showing as operating any flights from BHD after 31st May.
From 8th May to 31st May the E70 is showing as operating: Mon-Fri - BHD-LBA-BHD-ABZ-BHD-LCY-BHD Sat - BHD-LCY-BHD-ABZ-BHD Sun - BHD-LCY-BHD |
Looks like the BHD based E70 is heading to LGW to operate for BA. Looks the aircraft is in addition to the T3 E70 currently Operating for BACF on the LCY-DUS service . |
So looks like the BE/T3 franchise agreement is dissolving. BE, thought they could come in to the Scottish islands and ride roughshot over loganair but failed. Went up against easyJet on Newcastle to Belfast and failed due to extensively high fares. IOM, from Belfast at £232 return. Jesus wept.
|
LBA-SOU route is reduced down 2x daily with an early morning and evening rotation from June onwards. In between duties it would seem the Saab 2000 aircraft sits on deck at LBA for most of day.
|
Two more ABZ routes appear to be going to have there frequency in June. ABZ-SYY - Frequency reducing from 11 x weekly to 5 x weekly from 11JUN18 ABZ-WIC - Frequency reducing from 11 x weekly to 9 x weekly from 11JUN18 |
The T3/BE tie up looked very odd. For a franchisee to have one single aircraft painted after all this time shows you how well behind it they are. |
I don’t believe that T3 ever intended, nor were required to, paint there aircraft in full BE colours. The quote below is taken from this press release that was issued when BE & T3’s partnership was first announced. EASTERN AIRWAYS AND FLYBE TO FORM AN ALLIANCE Eastern Airways As part of the franchise partnership, Eastern Airways routes will operate with Flybe’s BE flight codes. Eastern Airways livery will be retained on its aircraft for scheduled services and the carrier’s ad-hoc charter services and corporate shuttle operations. |

That's a blow to Stornoway who have just got an increase up to 2 flights a day. And a blow to Wick with the loss of the early morning and late evening return flights and I assume the closure of Wick as a base
|
Are the WIC and SYY reductions due to school holidays or a permanent feature?
|
Permanent... or as permanent as you get in civil aviation!
|
What annoys me most is the complete lack of communication from the airline. Resulting in people poking around online timetables to try to determine what is happening to their routes.
why fly any other way? | Eastern Airways Last update was "Aberdeen-London City route to be operated by Eastern Airways". Last update on Twitter was October 2017. Perhaps the Communications Manager is incommunicado? |
