That is sad, I flew on the B737 G-STRI when we leased her in full Flybe livery a few years ago. Nice aircraft and best wishes to all their staff.

Just to confirm that Holidays Czech Airlines A320, OK-HCA c/n 4699 has been flying up and down the East coast of Scotland for the last few days following the route normally taken by Astraeus aircraft.

Hello

They are a miss here anyway. They used to be a fine and regular sight passing over here on the Iceland Express runs until about a month ago. After that none came until the night of the 20th. At that time I didn't realise a few hours later it would be all over. At least we might get these Holidays Czech Airlines soon.

Hello Syd

I am sorry to say he didn't,  the Keflavik <-> Gatwick flights (502 for example) normally go over the west of Scotland like this one must have. It is the Keflavik <-> Berlin and Keflavik <->  Kastrup ones that have the better chance of coming although for the last while these have mainly gone over Shetland or the sea to the north of Shetland.
