(12th, 13th, 16th). G-SAJR received the traditional water arch on arrival
here on 13th. The Glasgow service was flown by Embraer 145 G-SAJC
on all four days, 28th to 31st.
Another new non-based daily service introduced in May was that
from & to Guernsey by Blue Islands, using ATR-72-500s. The service
was inaugurated on 20th by G-ISLN, which flew the service every day
for the rest of the month, other than 26th & 27th, when it was operated
by G-ISLM.
Volotea Airlines commenced its summer season weekly service
from & to Palma on 21st May, details of which are included in the
appended visitors list.
Not previously recorded is a new resident here, Cessna F177RG
G-BBJV, which arrived on 10th April and was registered to Avionicare
Ltd as G-OAVC on 16th April. It was noted being worked on by
Avionicare in late-May and it is thought it will be fitted with the latest
avionics and used as a demonstration aircraft. Also noted in the
Avionicare hangar in late May were Cessna 500 VP-COM and
PA-31-310B N250MD.
A former resident that is no longer based here is Pilatus PC-12
T7-AMS, which departed to Bournemouth a while ago and will not be
returning here. The two former Jota Aviation King Air 90s N139WF &
N143WF were both still here at end-May and seem reluctant to leave.
On 15th May, the stripped hulk of Avro 146-RJ100 SE-DSO was towed
from the Avionicare hangar to the scrapping area, with scrapping
commencing soon after.
