Intersky and Minoan Air cease operations

smurfjed · 2015-11-06 20:11:48

I used to like seeing the Minoan Air Fokker 50's in Dublin. Unfortunately if airlines didn't make enough in the summer to carry them over the winter, then they have two choices, get the investors to pump in more money or close down.

Intersky's -600s could be handy for Stobart, if we're going to grave rob.

I thought one of those names was familiar; Intersky set a record for the longest ATR flight back in July this year. Just short of 2,500km from Belfast International to Tirana with an Albanian football team returning home.

OE-LID was the aircraft.
