MUFC_Fan, don't write the actual airline off so quickly. Yes the routes are gone but I have it on good authority we may well see the carrier elsewhere soon.

Vested interest?..............Move on,there is a world outside BLK:sad:

The Moss:ok:

No surprise
 

I hear that the main factor in the decision to pull was that Mr Hardcastle found out that he was being asked to pick up quite a few "unexpected " bills...:eek::eek:

unexpected bills??
 

go on you teaser, enlighten us.:confused:

You can't make a profit with a Jetsream 31 in this day and age, unless you are running a PSO. At least, that seems to be the case judging by the success rate with J31s over the last decade.

Having said that, Eastern did a good job using them to develop routes. But BLK-ABZ? Not a developable route in my view. In fact (sadly) BLK based airlines have struggled for decades, in spite of some earnest attempts. There can't be another airport in Britain that have seen so many small airline start-ups and end-ups.
