bmi-regional will roll out its latest new route on Monday when it will announce the launch of LBA to London City, this will start on the 1st of November with a wet leased ATR, until performance issues with the 135’s are resolved.
Good news for LBA!

ER3’s and LCY Ops is a very complicated subject. As I don’t have all of the information surrounding the issues, I’ll refrain from commenting.
As for the ATR it could well be GIONA, but Atlantic do have a second ATR 42.

Thanks for that Darren, I expected nothing to happen to the LHR route, I magine alot of people use that for connections, as well as businessmen.
I would be very surprised if it wasnt G-IONA, weve had it at LBA a couple of times.
Just a quick one Darren, didnt JetMagic get the 135 certified into LCY?

Its too early to say what will happen with the LBA-LCY route. Ultimately a ER3 might replace the ATR, but there are a few issues to resolve first.
As for XG, it will appear at LBA at some point, as all of our ER4’s are ‘rotated’ through the bases. You’ll more likely see it operating through MAN in the short-term though.
LBA-LHR will carry on as normal.

I don’t expect anything will happen to the LHR route. 🙂

Wots gonna happen to the LHR route?
G-IONA will be the one used to start off with probs

Fantastic news! 4 x Daily, I thought we would be lucky to have 2x daily!
I take it when the Atlantic ATR Goes (If ever), it will mean another ERJ at LBA? And will RJXG be coming to LBA when it is repainted?
Hope this route does well, it should do, as they had a questionnaire on the LBA website asking people if they wanted this or not so it must have been a yes!
I hope Germany is next, as they was a survey for that on the website also.
