According to Airline Route SN will fly three times a day to Bristol and Newcastle from the winter season (AVRO 85 instead of the flights operated by BMI).

Overcapacity! I wonder how they will fill those planes.

I thought all RJ85 were to be phased out by end of october 2012?

Don't be fooled; These are just placeholders.
The wet lease with BMI regional is coming to an end, so SN just loaded their smallest plane on those flights for the time being.... Expect them to be replaced by Q400 of which a few more are scheduled in the fleet plan.

Will these be wet-leased as well?

Being replaced by DH4 still represents 50% capacity increase.

Brussels Airlines will wet-lease 2 more Flybe Q400s for flights from Brussels Airport to Bristol and Newcastle this winter.
