Air Scandic is a really bad airline. I dont think they own any of their aircraft, as I know they used to lease from Finnair. I dont even think it runs as a proper operation, the HR department is in Jersey and everything seems to be subcontracted.
I am currently creating a business plan - for a project - to see how Air Scandic would fair as a new business, sort of (in a virtual world) bought by myself and restarted as a rival to the likes of Mytravel etc.
Not in my experiences.
NCL-TFS-NCL G-SWJW A300. Professional crew, good meals, IFE.
DLM-MAN G-TTMC A300. Slight delay, but as above, very good experience.
When you hear the noise of the Tartan Army Boys, we'll be coming down the road!
With Air Scandic this year I've had a 2 hour delay outbound from MAN and a cancellation on the inbound which resulted in an Excel 757 stopping off to pick us up on it's way to another greek island. Total delay time for that was 7 hours. Nice work.

I think they had capacity lined up for this year but lost it so they seem to be getting one-off sub-charters for a lot of their flights at the moment which is a very expensive way to operate. They'll be very hard pressed to find capacity once it starts getting really busy in a couple of weeks.

Quoting Airchabum (Reply 4): They'll be very hard pressed to find capacity once it starts getting really busy in a couple of weeks.
What's also going to hit them is that they've now got an image of being a financially struggling company, as a result some airlines will not perform sub-charter work for them due to the risk that they may be unable to pay for such services afterwards. This is especially true in peak season when there is less risky work on offer...

Was at STN this morning at around 0930... SCY2231 to Kos "Delayed indefinitely" and passengers told to wait for the next announcement at 1100! Not sure what the problem was as SE-RDH was sitting on the tarmac.

Crosswind thats non-sense. Airlines usually cover ACMI upfront and Air Scandic have paid upfront every time, either that or they get the broker to cover them and that works as well. There is a massive shortage of capacity in Europe anyway but they get by as all airlines do!

Hi,
Air Scandics' fleet are operated by Finnair (757) and Viking Airlines (MD-83).
Therefore, problems with the fleet must be the operators problem respectively.
The problem is, it's not the operator that's getting the bad reports, its the brand who is using the Aircraft, Air Scandic.
The answer to your question is yes, Air Scandic can continue, all it needs to do is sort its fleet out as soon as possible. That's going to be hard though.
Quoting Starlionblue (Reply 5): I hate to bring it up but any airline with that livery should be banned from flying
They do not operate in that scheme anymore, here is their latest offering:
I went to East Midlands Airport on Sunday, and really did want to get some pictures of Air Scandic Aircraft, there was about 2 scheduled for the 2 hours I was there. Not one Air Scandic MD-83 turned up.
One flight was really bad, SCY4466 from Kos was expected at EMA at 0340 Monday 4 July, 1 whole day late!
I believe Air Scandic can change the way things are going, but the MD-83s are causing too much trouble. At Newcastle where there are 757s based, I have been told there doesn't seem to be problems to the same extent as we have heard in this thread.

Hi,
Quoting TravelTime (Reply 11): If you were at EMA on sunday did you see me depart? DP46, Photos?
I am sorry, I did get the Photos, it was G-OOOG wasn't it?
The problem was, I have such a small memory card, and was taking Photos in high quality mode and because the G-OOOG picture was pretty bad, I deleted it to make space!
There wasn't any need really to make space, I thought East Midlands Airport on Sunday was not very busy at all, I saw about 7 flights!
I got home and had a look at the Photos I made space for, only to see how bad they where.
I was at the Airport with Aaron Lupton, and if I remember, he got a Photo of G-OOOG. I will get in touch and report back with the Photos for you.

Hello,
Air Slovakia has been doing subbing work for Air Scandic at Nottingham East Midlands Airport.
I saw an Air Slovakia 757 operating for SCY on Sunday at NEMA, and there is a Photo in the database of an Air Slovakia 757 operating for Air Scandic on June 18th 2005 at Nottingham East Midlands Airport.

Quoting Crosswind (Reply 14): I've got first-hand information to the contrary, from more than one airline, that they will not perfrom sub-service work for Air Scandic.
Crosswind,
Though as Air Scandic's flights are all operated by other carriers, wouldn't they be responsible for any subcharters?
i.e Finnair 757 goes tech, then Finnair arrange and pay for sub?

That sounds correct to me!
Quoting TravelTime (Reply 16): Well if it was around 16:45 then it was G-OOOG didnt catch it, other than that it could have been the Ibiza flight that was G-OOOG.
I have not seen any flight logs for EMA from 3rd July 2005, but I can try and help.
I was at the Airport from 1:30pm > 3:30pm
I saw two First Choice Airways Aircraft during that time.
G-OOOG departed around 2:00pm I would say (guess).
G-OOAH arrived about 3:00pm (guess) , I presume to do the scheduled DP Cyprus run.
Some of my friends went on your flight about 4 Weeks ago, when it was operated by G-OOAE (aircraft changes most of the time), every Sunday I usually see (when I go) the Aircraft that is going to do the DP46 flight to Cyprus Land at EMA.
From that very sketchy information, I am presuming you flew on A321 G-OOAH (I've flew on her 4 times!, my favourite FCA Aircraft), and I do have Photographs of G-OOAH landing on Sunday 3rd July 2005 to start the DP46 flight (I presume).
I do not have access to the Photos at the moment, but will post them when I do. Again, Aaron will hopefully have Photos of G-OOAH as well as myself.
So to confirm, you flew on G-OOAH in the afternoon on Sunday 3rd July?
What I have said above is not very accurate at all, so please feel free to correct me!

The MD80's are operated by Viking Airlines, and the 757's are operated by Finnair. Finnair 757 OH-LBU was at MAN today parked on remote getting loaded up with catering early this morning.
White A310 CS-TKI was also recently at MAN operating for Air Scandic.
Also bit off topic but MON A330 G-EOMA operated XLA220V to ACE from MAN today, aircraft shortage for Excel?
