Hmm, for some reason I thought they were ER3s. Oh well :rolleyes:

the north sea is indeed loosing its usable oil reserves, but there are also natural gas fields that are still extensive

I think it will be a 135 as Eastern don’t have any 145s. At the moment the oil companies charter aircraft to fly Norwhich – Groningen quite a lot, so it makes sense for Eastern to actualy sell the surplus seats to general members of the public.

hmmmm, you’re right there i did not think of that. But i still doubt if that is enough to fill a plane, even a small one like the ‘145.

I think one of the major oil companies is based in Groningen and the oil industry makes up a huge section of Eastern’s business, in addition to this both Norwich and Aberdeen have major links to the oil industry.

Forgive me if i am asking something silly, but who would possibly want to fly between Norwich/Aberdeen and Groningen? Amsterdam I can understand, Rotterdam too and perhaps even Eindhoven but Groningen?
