great stuff! I’m thinking about possably having a trip up on Monday if anybody fancies it?

yep – i sense a lot more spanish carriers in to cover for MYT – btw BAL aren’t starting a base in the winter – just re-opening one – it shut two years ago for the winter.

Pembo it does look bad fromthe outset, but what makes more sense for the company?

Fingers crossed that in a couple of years when things start to look better things may change, and MYT may return there commitment to such outstations. However on the Leeds front it has to be said that some days the aircraft did only do 1 trip to the caneries.

Sad news

I hope to be able to fly them regularly for many years to come.So, I won’t be seeing any of you onboard then? :rolleyes:

You’ll certainly keep seeing me onboard them! Can’t argue on ditto with their fares!!! I’m managing to get a lot of day trips and short breaks with LCCs around europe and i have not yet had a problem (touch wood!), with any of them!

actually, Im wondering if the jetmagic planes aren’t amongst that group of ERJs…
apparently the reasoning behind selling the ERJs isn’t so much that they’re bad airplanes. It’s more to do with the fact that SWISS need money and downsizing. For the new(ish) ERJs, they can get a fairly good amount of money…the only other regionals that they have, the Saab 2000s and ARJs would bring them far less money…

I know exactly what you mean, but if Swiss had say 9 aircraft to place there wont be too many companies that would want to lease all 9 at once – therefore if you could get a short term lease on a couple then this would bring in at least a litle income rather than having x amount of aircraft parked up – after all aircraft dont make money sat on the ground!

i’m sure that will nowe be increase to 9 as the Jetmagic 145s were on lease from Swiss/Crossair/whatever there name is this week!!
