I wonder where they will use them. They do not have the capacity for the HUY-AMS route.

First one is outside the Easter hangar this afternoon with its UK registration on but taped over. Second one due over the weekend. Story is they are for charters, particularly for football teams who think prop driven aircraft are old fashioned!

Heard a rumour a while back, perhaps far fetched, that they are considering using them on a LPL-LHR route??

Probably far fetched due to the issue of slots at LHR

G-CGMB has been operating for around 2 weeks now. The other is still awaiting CAA certification and registration.

Thanks Rubberneck. I run the official "Virtual Eastern Airways" for Flight simmers and would love to get some of these new charter flights in to our schedule, is there any info about them? Are they using them on their schedules? Thanks for all info guys! www.easternairwaysvirtual.co.uk

Not being used on scheduled flights, and it sounds like they are unlikely to be used for scheduled flights currently. Obviously things could change if new opportunities arise, or if a replacement plane is needed at short notice
