Comment / I've been waiting a while to catch one of these - the ERJ's inherited by Flybe after the takeover of BA Connect last year. Here's G-EMBW arriving on an early flight up to the north east from Southampton.

Comment / With the disposal of the series -100s completed over the winter, it seems BA's plans for expansion has given it's elderly Airbus A320 series -200s a stay of execution. The five aircraft were originally slated for retirement this year, but will now stay on line until 2010/11 as Boeing 757s are deployed to the new Open Skies project. Here, G-BUSG arrives at Newcastle in lovely morning sunlight.

Comment / You don't see many of the Jet2 Boeing 737s with the original silver tails around any more. Not that you can make this one out anyway - G-CELY basks in the bright sunlight on final for runway 25.

Comment / Still to be painted into the latest KLM livery, PH-BTE arrives at Newcastle with it's beacon flashing on the first flight of the day from Amsterdam. This series -306 was delivered in March 1993.

Comment / Lufthansa Regional recently went double daily on the Newcastle to Dusseldorf route. It's operated by the CRJ-200s of Eurowings, such as D-ACRP seen here.

Comment / Arriving with a MyTravel call sign, as Thomas Cook takes over the old MyTravel flying program.
