Well at least the so called cowboys can spell "airborne"!

Ive heard that half the fleet is going this year. Has RL had enough after the £3.6m loss. Has bristows had enough.

Any idea what aircraft they are getting rid of? The J41s? The Sabbs and E jets?

Chidken Sangwich 28th Jan 2018 21:06

Saab’s....

RAFAT 29th Jan 2018 00:30

They won't bin the J41s until they absolutely have to; they are a reasonably reliable fleet to be honest.

Harry Wayfarers 29th Jan 2018 02:00

Most aircraft are reliable if the operator has an appropriate spares back-up ... The one exception to that rule being the ATP :)

Skipness One Echo 29th Jan 2018 07:22

Has only a single aircraft, one J41 been painted in flybe colours? Doesn’t the franchise agreement say if we are going to sell all of your flights for you as “flybe” you have to at least embrace our branding?

MAJK is the sole purple Jetstream. I reckon it's at least the fifth paintjob it's worn.

Aren't SAAB stopping support for 2000 in 2020 so wouldn't it have to be phased out by then anyway?

Alteagod 30th Jan 2018 18:22

I hear eastern basing an airframe in BHD from March. Any truth in this do we know?

Is this right - I know the airline fleet isn't huge but they've been selling AEW and special mission versions in the last ten years or so

As the original manufacturer of the Saab 340 and 2000 we have a deep knowledge of our regional aircraft fleet and are committed to its long-term future.

As part of our thinking edge, we strive to deliver long-term support services and aircraft enhancements to make sure that our operators can keep flying the Saab 340 and the Saab 2000 for the next 15 years and beyond.

Flybe end SYY - GLA and ABZ - KOI leaving Loganair to operate routes. What routes are left that they are competing with Loganair on ? Are there any islands routes left ?

SWBKCB 5th Feb 2018 12:24

ABZ-MME :O

Any update on BHD ops?

cabsav 6th Feb 2018 20:21

I hear redundancy notices and GLA closing.

BHD2BFS 6th Feb 2018 21:04

Moving GLA to BHD?

LBIA 6th Feb 2018 21:17

How many aircraft are based at GLA?

RAFAT 7th Feb 2018 03:03

Apparently Eastern will release all of their reservations staff soon as everything will be done through Flybe. Great, so when (not if) Flybe realise that partnering with Eastern was a huge mistake (if they haven't already) and bin the partnership, Eastern have no reservations staff! Doh! RL really does take the p~~s sometimes!
