Not sure but last time I was at YAZ was in a BO-105 and the runway was looking in rough shape.

I hear there's a turbine operator starting in there around May 15. As a matter of fact they already have a impressive number of seats sold as well.

Looks like it's Orca, Orca, or .... Orca, then.

Maybe I'll tell my bro to drive.

It's a beautiful drive... although in the Summer it's horrible when you get stuck behind some "chronologically advanced" individual in a Motorhome doing 40km/h the entire way.

Likely nobody. To sell seats months in advance you would expect, hmm i dunno maybe a little advertising? I'm no expert but if a new compnay were to try and startup a scheduled service to directly compete with exisiting operators, keeping it Top Secret would be a rather odd approach as far as marketing goes.

Then again maybe im wrong.
