Air Southwest sold to…

…Eastern Airways!

See article here:

Good news for the airline and the staff who I’d imagine will get to keep their jobs.

Cheers,
Matt.

Selling to T3 was the right choice, and not surprising to be honest especially seeing as they signed an alliance between them on 25th Feb 2010 which enables SZ to sell tickets via external sources like travel agents, rather than focusing solely on the Internet, thus increasing their market presence (according to Wikipedia?!), and its nice to see that T3 have chosen to keep the SZ brand.

Have to say though Rob, the Eastern Airways livery would look pretty damn good on a Dash8 Q300 too, don’t you agree?!:cool:

According to the Air Southwest website They will stay under the “Air Southwest” Brand.

I think the Livery looks pretty good on the Dash8

I’m not certain they all will. I expect a number of those in the office at PLH may be shown the door over time, it’s not worth duplicating a number of roles.

Furthermore, I still think there are wider issues related to the sale of the Airline and not the Airport, which will lead to the loss of air servcies for Plymouth.

Finally, I’m not yet certain what this will mean for fares, when one of the most expensive regional carriers takes over one of the cheapest (they’r eoften better value than Flybe) then I suspect the fares can only go one way, and it’s not down!
