Hello Stobart Air

bombs away

Just does'nt have the same ring to it in my opinion

If all they're doing is operating under contract for Aer Lingus, their name doesn't matter to many people.

Growler!!!

Presumably this won't affect the Aran Islands hopper service?

In all seriousness, although 'Aer Arann' planes haven't flown for a few years it'll be sad to see the name disappear altogether.

Rest in Peace


Could they be keeping the Arann call sign on ATC?

"Aer Arann Islands" is a seperate company.

I wonder about the callsign......I doubt they have any reason to hold onto "Arann" so I am assuming it may change to "Stobart"?

As an Aaron, I find this news unacceptable.

Flybe still fly with the call sign 'Jersey' so you never know.

When I hear "Stobart" all I can think of are those Eddie Stobart trucks...

That is kinda the idea as it is all part of the Stobart Group...i.e. the same company.

That I didn't know - I wonder if all the planes will be named/renamed girls names like the trucks?

Stobart air have been around for a while, apparently the long term plan is to try and do for more European airlines what they're currently doing for Aer Lingus. Hopefully this could lead to expansion.

Probably not if branded for other airlines, but you never know.

They could be named like the Southend Airport Vehicles.

Can anyone guess what 'Loo-Loo', 'Aqua', 'Cand-ice', 'Gas-o-Lina' and 'Phil-Uppa' do?:D
