I know they have leased all of their aircrafts at the moment;
1 757-200 for the Iron Maiden tour
2 757-200 to bmi
1 757-200 to Iceland Express
1 757-200 to Air Italy Polska
2 737-700 to Sterling
and reading on wikipedia and other sources
they have decided to focus their operations
all onto Manchester now and London’s Gatwick has been left with only two routes?
and their website has announced they are not operating any scheduled services and their website canno be used for booking flights.
I’m quite confused about what they are doing?
are they facing abit of difficulty?
Thanks,
Jon 🙂

This is what AEU have been up to the past week or so..
757
G OJIB
Has operated a couple of flights for Air Italy Polska, but returned to LGW last Tuesday
** This was the ‘Iron Maiden’ tour aircraft.**
Returned from these duties 18th March.
Remained in Iron Maiden c/s until around 25th May when it was repainted into all white c/s.
G OPJB
Air Italy Polska operations. spent last weekend at Lasham, presumably maintenance
G STRZ
Iceland Express operations, was in Stansted today
G STRX
bmi ops. went to Tel Aviv today
G STRY
bmi ops, went to Freetown today
737
G STRF
Sterling ops, flew to Florence today from Malmo
G STRH
Sterling ops, flew to Barcelona and Rome today, based in Oslo
No difficulties, just a different type of operation.
Not currently operating any aircraft in their own right (though the Iceland Express flights use Astraeus flight codes, and these are also used for positioning flights etc.).

I remember reading somewhere (Airliner World?) that they are now going to focus on long-term leasing aircraft to other carriers only, scheduled services are no longer part of their business model.
