They've been saying for years they're looking at up-gauging 25% of their fleet to E-190s or CRJ900s

I think even EZY will find it hard trying to operate a ER4 profitably with a low cost business model. It will be interesting to see what routes it will be used on if it is indeed destined to EZY.

I doubt they would, be reducing there fleet the hardly enough aircraft to cover the operation as it is.... When it comes to getting bigger aircraft... who knows... they seem to talk about it a lot, however no real action so far.

G-RJXR
 
G-RJXR emerged at Norwich today wearing this livery with a rumor of being sold to France and looks like the livery of Regourd Aviation which already have a couple of 135s




Thanks

oh, wasnt that being pitched as the first for Loganair.... another bumsteer?

Fly757X 9th Aug 2018 21:17
That is Aero4M/Regourd's livery. They operated for BMI Regional from LDY for 2 months last year whilst there was a lack of aircraft. Quite a nice livery if I'm honest, just a shame it is leaving.

Don’t think we will see any ER4’s transferred to Loganair before the New Year. Noticed a couple of weeks ago that Loganair have updated there S19 schedule to show which of there current destinations from GLA are to be operated by a ER4 from 31MAR19 (details below). Based on the current schedule it appears LM wil, be adding 2 ER4’s on the same day.
The aircraft seem to be in addition to the ER4 operated by BM for LM as they are still showing as being operated by a ER4.

BEB - ER4 will op the single rotation on a Saturday and Sunday
LDY - ER4 will op 6 out of the 8 weekly flights scheduled.
SYY - ER4 will op 22 out of the 25 weekly flights scheduled

Does anyone know which ER4’s are going to be transferred to LM?. Also whether BM are going to continue to operate a aircraft for LM from INV during S19

Wasn't the idea to expand to European destinations with the ER4s? Instead they are using them to shortish routes to BEB and SYY where a turboprop will do the job given the route length and the lack of competition. Or have the Saabs become so expensive as hangar queens that a generally more expensive 50 seater jet turns out to be cheaper?

The INV routes are still to be operated by BM during S19 from what I've heard.

Still room around that schedule for one or two European destinations which I’d guess are CPH and BRU and hopefully going forward they can expand from there but ofcourse this depends on bmi expanding their fleet.

As rumours are going round about a UK airline looking at acquiring the ashes ( = the AOC) of VLM, how have flybmi's plans to safeguard its operations on the continent against Brexit advanced?

G-RJXH EMB145 has arrived at Norwich from Bristol, gone into Air Livery for repaint
is this another French departure like last one was from Norwich

TartinTon 17th Sep 2018 19:42
Nope...just a repaint

mullac30 17th Sep 2018 19:52
No chances of it emerging in LM Tartan?

TartinTon 17th Sep 2018 20:00
Let's hope not!

TCX69 17th Sep 2018 22:13

Wonder why they’re repainting the aircraft already in the full livery instead of the aircraft that have been all white for years!?

SWBKCB 18th Sep 2018 07:20
The all white ones are leased, not owned

Potentially earmarked for LM? Stickers applied/painted close to S19?

Jethro's site says that G-RJXF and G-RJXJ are the ones going to Loganair.

Strange considering RJXJ is a 135, I thought they were getting 2 145s? Wonder what the deal is with RJXH then. Considering RJXH was just whitewashed I would’ve assumed it and RJXI were for LM considering XI was the next acquired after XH and it is already in a white scheme of some description. Clearly that assumption made an ass out of me.

mullac30 24th Sep 2018 16:34
The ERJ135 is to become G-SAJB when delivered in October, whilst the ERJ145 will become G-SAJC in November, all according to Jethro's. I imagine they did not pick the all-white ones since the LM examples will be repainted in full Tartan rather than vinyls like the S2000s.

I'm guessing the BA style acronym of the reg is perhaps G- Scotland's Airline Jet X ?

I would’ve said RJXH would’ve been good to get fully painted as it was prior. I just want to know why it is white.

According to GINFO the aircraft is chartered, so perhaps it's being prepared for handback?

Thanks for that, I thought all the RJXA-RJXI frames were owned. Cheers :D

According to Jethro BM’s ER3 G-RJXJ is to be transferred to Loganair sometime this month.

I noticed the aircraft flew from BRS to EMA this afternoon. Does anyone know if this is for maintainence or is the aircraft being prepared to be transferred to Loganair.

Flybmi gains access to Turkey with new codeshare

Noticed that a few days ago on their website. Good development for them

Bristol_Traveller 7th Oct 2018 20:27
The TK codeshares are curious. BRS-DUS and BRS-HAM are showng now, but as once-per-day rotations, the connections into the once-per-day TK flight to IST are either bad (hours stopover) or terrible (overnight stopover)

When I last looked, the annouced BRS-CDG codeshares weren't showing. As BRS-CDG is 3x daily, that migth make more sense for connections but until they're in and bookable, it's conjecture.

As somone who books BRS-FRA/MUC on the LH codeshares quite often, the inventory management needs to be carefully overseen, and married segment availabilty brought in. Sometimes entirely legit inventory changes when considered as a point-to-point airline (e.g. passengers flying just BRS-FRA) have a dramatic effect when attached as the first/last segment of a long interncontinental itin.

I wonder is this a sign that these “bigger jets” are coming soon enough...

BM announced yesterday that they are increasing capacity on there flights from NCL by replacing the ER3 currently based there with a ER4 from 28OCT.

Just booked flight from BRS to BRU in early November. When I first started looking a couple of weeks ago the flights were showing as being operated on a BM ER4. Now they are showing as being operated by a RJ85. Are BM adding RJ85’s to the fleet or is a new operator, possibly Cityjet taking over the route?.

BM currently operate flights from BRU to HAJ, NTE and SXB on behalf of SN. I have checked and all flights to these destinations are now showing as being operated by a RJ85, as is the BM BRU to NUE. Does BM’s lease agreement end at the end of the W18 schedule?.
