Eastern Airways is losing a lot of money, long before Covid - I'm honestly constantly surprised they're still around. They have a very old fleet of Jetstreams, half of which are derelict, which are of absolutely no interest to Loganair. The two ATRs are on (presumably expensive) lease - easier for L...

Candid question of the day : Why owners choose especially MST and Alverca to park their aircrafts?
