Who owns the aircraft?
The CAA web sight show,s them as B.A. Connect Isle of Man.
Jethro,s aviation sight states that G-NVSA and G-NVSB lease are finishing on the first of april so I.am confused.
Is this a paper work thing? as I understood it the Dash eight lease,s were running out and they would not be renewed so when is a lease not a lease if the registered owner is not showing as a leaser.
The reason I ask G-BRYX has been a Exeter for a little while it has been striped of some of it B.A colours and now registered to Bombarbier at Belfast.
The aircraft is due to leave Exeter on the way to Malta fjust after lunch today for what I can make out could be a new lease for an operation out of there.

Can’t help with the original question I’m afraid.
FlyBe aren’t keeping any of the Connect fleet.
I think I read that the deal with BA is being financed in such a way that BE can speed up their plans for their own fleet instead.

The Question was the owners.
I do know that as and when the flybe mess is sorted the Dash 300s are not part of the scheme.

Well BA Connect itself won’t exist for much longer after it’s absorbed into FlyBe. I don’t know the hard facts, but I really do not see a future for the Dash 8-300’s within the grand scheme of things…
