Well, I doubt the FI schedule will be leaving tonight - at least not a Globespan flight. Hopefully they'll get another charter put out ASAP to run the two routes before Christmas.

As for the new tender, it's a bit of a poisoned chalice. Apart from OAI, the past three operators have been Zoom, XL and FlyGlobespan...

I guess it's all a case of survival of the fittest until we get out of this problem.
Still sad they went down though.

Not just Falkland's, they also did/do trooper flights in and out of Paderborn.
