My MAN-SOU J41 trip the other day turned out to be an ATR via BHD. With no cabin service, meaning arriving SOU 3 hours late with nothing to eat/drink On board & everything at Southampton airport is closed. For me my day ended 6 hours with nothing to drink. Be warned if using Eastern or Southampton Airport bring your own stuff.

Wow. BHD isn’t even on route. They will end up killing these routes operating like that. Why would you fly with them again? Did they give a reason why?
The old Pprune double edged sword is out again, with every other thread having comments along the lines of "what are the airlines doing, they are ruining the economy by not operating business friendly flights". |
In his statement, signed off on August 6, Mr Lake said: “Aviation faces an uncertain future, with what could be a longer term travel freeze and the risks of a slow recovery. Orient . . . is undertaking significant measures internally to preserve cash and liquidity, as well as operational efficiency and cost savings.” He highlighted the group’s “good mix” of business activities, “substantial” cash balance, “unencumbered” aircraft and no debt refinancings due, while talks were taking place with lenders “who recognise our strength of balance sheet and business model”. But auditor John Taheny, of accountancy firm Bissel & Brown, said Mr Lake’s confident outlook had assumed a phased increase in bookings and flights after August. The potential for further disruption due to Covid-19 meant there was a “material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern”, Mr Taheny added. |
Having Ejets/ ERJs sitting about not earning any revenue though is of concern as they’re leased. |

When you think about it, having on-book smaller props running right now is actually a stroke of luck and genius versus others carrying ongoing costs with larger aircraft.

I See that the E190 was flown from HUY to MST yesterday Evening.
And the ATR 72- 600 was flown on Wednesday from SOU to MME and is being used on the MME - LHR flights |
It looks like one of the Embraer 135s is on the way back to the UK, heading north out of Nigeria via Spain at the moment. Is this for maintenance or has the Bristow thing in Nigeria all come to a dead stop?
Seems a bit strange that the 170 has sat in MME for several days with the ATR drafted in from Southampton to cover the Heathrow flights the 170 would normally be doing. Must be a fairly big issue if it's tech as the DTV Movements site suggests. |

We shall also shortly add a number of interline agreements especially aiding our Teesside-London Heathrow service and major hubs such as Manchester Int'l," it said. |

The ATR is on its way back to SOU at the moment under a positioning callsign.

The 170 hasn't flown since 1 October. The S.2000 had been doing the LHR until the Atr-72 was drafted in for the last couple of days.

Looking at what is on sale for April 2021 (not the timetable section), the based aircraft situation appears to be:
CWL - 1x J41 HUY - 1x J41 LBA - 2x J41 MME - 2x J41, 1x E70 (LHR) SOU - 3x ATR (BHD/DUB/MAN) The timetable has gaps all over the place and fleet utilisation is very low. Most days there's an early LBA - SOU, but no return on sale, similarly a SOU-MME-ABZ but no flights starting ABZ the next day. Obviously very much a work in progress and all subject to covid restrictions and demand, but plenty of scope for Eastern to expand if they wanted to be a serious player in the regional game. |
Is G-CIHD J41 being made airworthy.
