Amy truth in the rumour that T3 are to purchase two E170's as posted on the Pprune forum?

It doesn't seem likely with their current route network - As most are low load, high yield, niche business routes. Moving a route from 29/45 seats to 70 seems a huge jump and would seem to be commercial suicide. To fuel the speculation - Perhaps some Sun routes from Humberside on behalf of JetXtra/Airport travel?  Palma, Malaga, Faro, Alicante, Ibiza, etc - all in range! |

There was talk, not so long ago, of them purchasing two 73 classics for higher load charter purposes.. Of course that may have been inaccurate, but there is some scope for expansion in the charter side of the operation, I know my employer are growing in that respect.

The 2 Emb 175's will apparently put in a very short appearance at HUY around 19th May. One is in BA colours the other in Eastern. The Eastern colours may also be short lived as it too could go to BA colours.

Pictures of these two have been posted elsewhere, now due in to HUY for a short visit later in June.

The E170 fleet is to be used on the Omega special departure holidays which are mentioned above. Destinations are Venice, Naples, Dubrovnik, and Friedrichshafen. They will fly from 10-12
U.K. airports in weekly sequence between 24th June 2017 and 10th September 2017.

Both have visited HUY now, one is plain white the other (G-CIXV) is in full Eastern A/W colours. "V" was seen and heard this week departing HUY to London City on a positioning flight number. "W" seems to have done a few BA Cityflyer runs from London City - Hamburg and back this month.

It appears that Eastern are no longer operating the 2 E170s. Planespotters.net lists the aircraft as stored and FR24 is showing G-CIXW's last flight to Naples last week. Skyliner also states that G-CIXV has been in Naples since October.

There is a post on pprune today quoting the Harrogate Informer.
Apparently, Eastern are to acquire an Embraer 170 later this month. This is to be followed by three Embraer 190 aircraft later in the year. This follows indications of buoyant demand in the ad-hoc charter market. Mention is made of the types' suitability for London City.

Posters on the dried prune site seem to think its 195s not 190s. Either way, anyone heard any rumours about what they plan to do to get bums on seats and both aircraft in the air earning money. References to charters and scheduled routes in press release are vague as would be expected at this stage.

Is G-CIXW leaving Eastern? It departed Exeter for KEF this afternoon and left KEF heading towards Greenland around 17.30 - currently not showing on FR24.
Edit: It ended up in Abilene, Texas - via YFB and DLH.
