If DUS is the last remaining E70 route, it would appear that it is also the most vulnerable in the network with relatively light loads (unless the comparatively few passengers are extraordinarily...

The future for BACF, LCY and Canary Wharf will be challenging. I have read interviews with CEOs of large international companies stating that their company will give up up to a third of its office...

So that will leave BACF with just three E170s. Are these earmarked for specific routes? I seem to recall that DUS has been an E170-only route.

So why did BACF buy a number of E170 in the first place - this at a time when it was already selling poorly and thus probably not a brilliant hardware investment? Or are they leased?

Will be interesting to see who will take on the E170s - it is not exactly a sought after type. Disregarding Japanese carrier J-Air that has added 3 or 4 new-builts over the last couple of years, the...

Are the six E170s more or less allocated to a few specific destinations or do they freely roam across the network, e.g. by operating off-peak flights on routes otherwise served with the larger E90s...

Yes, there is (and BE serves BHX, MAN, LBA, SOU and CWL from there). But DUS-LCY has never been a particularly busy route and there are some busier monoply routes from LCY such as GLA, RTM or LUX...

Never quite understood Flybe's network at LCY. While EDI is somewhat plausible, given Scot/Cityjet's long-time presence on the route in competition with BACF, AMS and DUS are less so. Although AMS is...

I think the comparison is a bit unfair. There is no way VLM could have done with their Fokker 50 what BACF is able to do with the EJets which can go to leisure destinations around the Med. VLM did...

So with Stobart operating two Embraer 190 on behalf of BACF soon, does that mean that the expansion announced for 2019 with, IIRC, four additional aircraft will be covered by 2 BACF + 2 Stobart E190s...

You are of course correct regarding Prague.

VIE was in 2011, IIRC. The flight times were, from memory, awful. Arrival into VIE after 11 pm etc. Almost a decade later and with better timings, it...

BACF will, however, need to find work for the additional aircraft on MTuWeTh before they can think about adding highly seasonal leisure destinations on FrSaSu. So in addition to increasing...

Alitalia can easily use the E190 for off-peak flights on routes from FCO with multiple daily departures, e.g. to domestic destinations. Alitalia, for example, deploys E-Jets on its shuttle-like...

OK, thanks. I did not check and assumed that anything less than twice weekdaily would make little sense. Realistically, a twice daily flight with a single aircraft on a route with a block-time north...

As BACF have been using up to three Eastern aircraft, I am not sure the additional 4 E90 will mean a lot of expanson route-wise. Probably T3's S20s will be replaced with two BACF E70 which in turn...

Saab 2000 could only be a step-gap measure as Loganair is keen to dispose of those asap. So after that probably an ATR42-600 that apparently has been earmarked as the type to replace the Saabs - any...

BA8740 LCY 21:15 - 22:35 GLA
BA2210 LCY 21:30 -...

I noticed that BACF had scheduled three flights to GLA after 9 pm, presumably to position aircraft for weekend flights?

I was asking if they are short of aircraft as I noticed G-LCYL at SEN in the...

Sure, I was in the middle of it. But as noone else was cancelling (except a Lufthansa and a Flybe flight) and most of the BA cancellations were hours in advance, what exactly was BACFs problem?
