B2 Uprated powerplants. The increased performance of this engine means a higher payload can be carried compared to the B1 varients,. and as such can operate to TFS, LPA, LCA etc – indeed we have had B733s operate these routes before in the mid 1990s.
As for having the aircraft painted in your colours doesn’t mean they will fly soley for you. The charterer (flybe in this case) does not pay for your positioning costs of aircraft and Astreaus will do what is most commercially viable to them.
I suspect the deal with the painting of the B733s was a 50/50 venture, the costs split. AEU neded to repaint STRB after its Air Asia winter lease, and FlyBe like the idea of punters seeing shiny Jets
