Was flying into EHAM this morning and heard a callsign which sounded like "Suckling" + a flight number. The pilot on the R/T, judging by the accent, was British.

Can anyone shed any light on this operation or is it time to dewax? :-)

Safe flying!

MFALK,

I think Suckling was the previous name of Scot Airways (based in Coventry). Apparently they have kept their original callsign !

"Suckling xxx" is indeed the call sign of Scot Airways.

They have retained their call sign of "Suckling" as they were formerly called Suckling Airways.

They are actually (Head Office ) based in Cambridge, UK, not Coventry.

Hope this helps.
