[niknak]

Herad a rumour that BAC have lost one of the night mail contracts out of Norwich, to Emerald.. .Anyone got any more info please?. .(BAC currently operate EGSH - EGNX - EGGP - EGSH, and, EGSH - EGSS - EGGD - EGTE, and EGTE - EGGD - EGSS -EGSH).

heard a similar rumour too, definitely involves EGSH - EGSS - EGGD (and reverse) routing i believe, not sure of payload figure.

Thanks Cargo,. .Out the 2 contracts BAC operate from/to Norwich, the 1st flight of the evening to EGSS is time critical with Post Office penalties if the flight is late. . .Unfortunately BAC haven't had a great deal of luck on this route with u/s a/c and other factors causing late departures.. .I'm not insinuating that this is the reason that BAC may have lost the route because of this, but it figures.
