Hi all,
Just wondering if Ryanair operate any turbo prop aircraft or have partners operating them in FR colours?
I was watching ITV1’s ‘Airline’ last night (6/5/02) and I am sure i saw an FR a/c next to an EZY 737…and i’m sure it was a turbo prop. Possibly a dash 8 or ATR 7/42….its got me. I was sure FR only operated 737s in their livery. Is it just an optical illusion? or did i see it!!!???
Regards
Ben

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-05-02 AT 08:59 PM (GMT)]Euroceltic are at the moment not operating any regular service from LPL. Occasional services to WAT have operated on football charters. Their servies stopped basicly because of poor loads on the Luton route from Liverpool and this can only attributed to the lack of promotion of the service. Easyjet offered LPL-LTN and carried very healthy loads, but fell out with Luton over their landing fees and stopped it. I flew on Euroceltic a few times, and was always amazed to see any others on it ! i wondered how the other passengers ever discovered it. Their other major problem was the fact that their second F.27 was taken out of service ( and I dont know if it ever came back) for technical reasons. They chatered in other aircraft including a British World ATP which i flew on.
I understand their LPL-WAT service started off well, but by this time they were suffering aircraft problems.
To answer the original question Ryanair started out I think with a EMB flying LGW-WAT, they also had an ATR 42 for a while and they charter an HS 748 both of which they used through LPL several years ago.
