Could anyone shed some light into the new ATR42 operation of TTA ? They announced that they would operate an ATR42 on the RTM-LGW route taken over from Cityflyer with effect December 9, 2001. As it looks, they then decided to allocate the leased ATR to the RTM-HAM route and use their slightly larger Fokker 50 for the London route instead. Now they have announced plans to lease a 2nd ATR42 for the London route with effect March 2002. What is the source of the ATR42s and will the Fokker 50 be returned ? Here is a picture of the ATR42-320 already operated:

This is the press release - my Dutch is not really existing, but from what I am able to understand they are mentioning a 2nd ATR42:
"TTA heeft op de route Rotterdam - Hamburg een nieuw vliegtuig van het type ATR-42 ingezet. Deze moderne en dus geluidsarme ATR-42 biedt plaats aan 44 passagiers en is onlangs van een nieuw, zeer luxe interieur voorzien. Met ingang van 1 maart zal er eveneens een nieuw ATR-42 vliegtuig door TTA op de route Rotterdam - Londen Gatwick worden ingezet. De vluchten naar Hamburg en Londen Gatwick worden drie keer per dag uitgevoerd. De vertrek- en aankomsttijden zijn geheel op de wensen van de zakenreiziger afgestemd. Behalve lijndienstvluchten naar Hamburg en Londen Gatwick voert TTA vanaf Rotterdam Airport ook dagelijks twee vluchten uit naar Birmingham. Vanaf Rotterdam Airport kan er tevens met TTA via Hamburg naar Göteborg in Zweden gevlogen worden."

Translation from that Dutch article:
TTA now uses a new aircraft of the type ATR-42 on the route Rotterdam-Hamburg. This modern and therefore soundless ATR-42 offers 44 passenger seats and received a brandnew luxurious interior recently.
Starting 1 March a new ATR-42 aircraft will be operated on the route Rotterdam-London Gatwick. The flights to Hamburg and London Gatwick will be operated 3 times a day. The rest of the article is commercial sh*t which I don't want to translate for you as it is of no use...
