CityJet RJ85s flying for SN

Post by spagiola »

I see that several CityJet RJ85s operated SN flights this week. Have the SuperJets being having even more problems than usual?

Apparently yes. And it can even be worse, when no replacement RJ85 is available: then an SN A319 takes over (and has to land in ARN instead of BMA where it is not allowed!).

Can't they send the A319 to Billund, Hannover, Krakow and Nantes instead and keep the Sukhois for BMA? Looks more logical to me.

Can happen that if there is an unexpected cancelation on BMA because of no alternative aircraft available (or cancelation out of BMA), that the flights are so full that they put an A319 on ARN to get rid of the backlog of passengers immediately (it's not a route where you say aah sorry, the next available seat is in 3 days).
I believe there is a SSJ in heavy maintenance and it seems to come in combination with some smaller technical issues, so CityJet is rotating their aircraft a lot for the moment.
