From what I heard they were considering their own order of either the EMB 190, Airbus A319 or 737-800.

Latest news from Southampton – BA dropping Belfast and Jersey but will be increasing Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh to 5 daily.

Also Flybe wil start routes to Salzburg, Chambery and Copenhage later in the year. They may also get up to 6 ex Buzz 737’s.

Flybe will up the capacity and frequency up of the JER route to 4x daily with a mix of Dash 8Q-400 and BAe 146s, I think this will also be the case for Belfast. Aurigny have also applied to operate the route from JER.

Where did you hear about the ex Buzz 737s?

Just shows there is life after the BA cutbacks.

There are so many rumours going around at the moment that it is hard to know what to believe. Either way I believe British Airways would be a better fit for KLM as a European partner though to give up Northwest would leave them somewhat vulnerable because American could never give such a strategic alliance. But interesting time nonetheless. Wasn’t an announcement expected in September some time?

The likelihood is that those routes will be suspended for the winter along with other reductions in frequency though those three new destinations are being launched as well as rumours of flights from Prestwick.

Hey, great photos. Glad you guys all enjoyed yourselves. Andrew mentioned an A310, did you see the KTHY aircraft?

In Vale, Guernsey the thermometer was reading around 32 in my garden. A bit cooler today because of a nice sea breeze. Yesterday official temperatures reached a very nice 34.3C, our highest temperature ever.
