Eastern A i r way s flies flag
UK regional airline Eastern Airways, which operates flights from East Midlands Airport, is unfurling the Union flag for Jubilee year by redesigning its livery.
Expect to see more of the patriotic red,
white and blue on tailfins of the operator’s 37-seater Embraer jets in the skies above Kegworth and Castle Donington. The livery has been introduced to commemorate Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Kay Ryan, Eastern Airways’ c o m m e rc i a l director, said the new livery was an eye-catching way to mark the milestone. “The Best of British livery will be seen all
over our scheduled and charter network over the coming months. “This year is all about celebrating

Shopping in Nottingham – one of Britain’s top ten retail cities.
There will be two categories in the competition, one for independent retailers and one for independent licensed premises and they need to be either levy payers or Friends of the two BIDs who contribute to the BID’s activities. The top five in each category as voted for
by readers will then be assessed by a panel of judges who will chose two overall winners. The results will be announced at the beginning of August. The judges will be using a range of criteria to make their final decision, ranging from the quality of customer service to knowledge and friendliness of staff; the quality and range of products or services on offer to overall customer service. “This is a great initiative for Nottingham’s independent businesses,” said Geoff Williams, a director of the Nottingham Retail BID and owner of Tokenhouse. “We have known for a long time what a great independent offering the city has and
this will enable those businesses to be clearly identified and to actively promote them too.”
Chris Bulaitis, managing director of the
Ever So Sensible Group and a director of the Nottingham Leisure BID added: “Nottingham manages to blend some truly unique venues with the more well known brands, making it an ideal retail and leisure destination. I’m fully behind anything that celebrates this diversity, offers independent traders in the city a platform to shout about how great they are and encourages members of the public to support what’s on their d o o r s t e p .” The BIDs, who work jointly and independently to deliver a number of key initiatives in the city including this one, are focused on making Nottingham the destination of choice for people when they want to shop or spend their leisure time, helping to drive business and enhance the city’s reputation.
sure our passengers will be delighted to travel with us on this special aircraft, which carries the Union Jack tens of thousands of miles over the next few months.” Eastern Airways has operated scheduled and
chartered flights from East Midlands since 2000. The UK’s second largest regional airline,
which operates a fleet of 30 aircraft, has recently taken delivery of a second Embraer 145 to join a fleet including two similar looking Embraer 135 jets. Chris Holliday, Eastern Airways’ ch i e f
operating officer, said: “Last year’s reintroduction of the Embraer 145 proved very popular with the charter market, and due to demand, we have now added another of this series type to our fleet. As and when required this new addition will fly on the scheduled network, as well as charter services and gives us tremendous flexibility having 37 seat and 50 seat jets available serving Europe.” Eastern Airways celebrates its 15th
anniversary this year and flies from 21 airports in the UK, Belgium, Norway and France. It also has eight 50-seater Saab 2000 aircraft in its fleet and is the largest operator of 29-seater British Aerospace Jetstream 41 aircraft in the world with 18.
