Eastern Airways

[IanFarquharson]

I was told it was as the number of passengers you could count on one hand, doesn't sound good.

Fares are high and customer's do not know the "Eastern Airlines" name.

One for Squeezyjet me thinks, and no thanks to Flymaybe on a Dash 8 with supersonic turboprops, he he he he

You must have more fingers than me then !

Shame. Were the loads not great?

I am not at all surprised, Eastern Airways on a diddly Embraer 175 🤔🤔🤔

One for Squeezyjet

I’m not sure if there loads were great or not. But it doesn’t look encouraging if they’re making it summer seasonal. They are known for their ridiculous prices so it wouldn’t surprise me if loads were low.

There are no flights now for 2022 to Gibraltar from Southampton currently with the last being October 11th 2021. It’s unclear currently what their intentions are with SOU.

Birmingham-Gibraltar appears to still be operating in Summer 2022 2x weekly but looks the aircraft will be based at Gibraltar.

The Gibraltar route seems to have been removed from sale.

& Southampton apparently

Always an oddball route anyway going to GIB on a little Embraer. I am surprised they could take off from the hot short GIB Runway. Remember the issues with the Flybe E175's at some destinations. They couldn't take off properly from certain runways in hot conditions, think it was Florence ?

One for Easyjet 👍 even twice weekly on an A319/A320 will do for starters.

Eastern to Gibraltar yet another a one season wonder, I'd never have guessed that one! 🙄
