Lsd to Flightline at the moment which is based at Southend
Of course I forgot that Flightline are based there. The reason I asked is that although technically registered to Aurigny the aircraft is not being used as part of their operation but is being operated by them on behalf of it’s owner (that fact came direct from the GR commercial director). What I’m curious to know is who the owner is. Any ideas?

The source states, that following this order, BA now has 14 on firm order, so I guess they are in addition.
rdc1000, the press release I saw at the office today didn’t say that so thanks.
That’s interesting, with the 4 321s on order plus these that means we are 8 aircraft up on the present fleet. Wonder what they have in mind for them.
Thanks again,

They’ve also ordered a further 4x A320s for delivery from 2008.
There are already 10 320s on order for delivery during the period Nov 07 to Dec 08, G-EUUS to G-EUUX and 4 aircraft as yet unregistered.
What’s not clear to me is are the 4 mentioned today over and above these or is BA talking (spinning) about firmed-up options we’ve known about for some time as if they are new?
Any ideas?

Can’t help with the original question I’m afraid.
FlyBe aren’t keeping any of the Connect fleet.
I think I read that the deal with BA is being financed in such a way that BE can speed up their plans for their own fleet instead.

It’s just enough livery to look recognisable.
Well it is as long as it stays stuck to the aircraft! 😉

Oh yeah! Didn’t spot that.

That’s already been on here on one of their MD-80somethings.
Someone suggested that it wasn’t new, just that one of the ladders in the paintshop was too short. In reality all they’ve done is drop the cheat-line away from the windows to make the paint job cheaper.

I think Anthony means this colour scheme,
but obviously not this aircraft.

Anybody see this coming??
Certainly not me! Now there’s a route I’d like to operate, shame it’s not out of LHR.
