Welcome back dear English FR Readers :)
This bunch of flights will take you from BSL to AMM and back, here the itinerary:

Basle - Paris CDG AF / Y ops by WDL, BAe146-200: here you are.
Paris CDG - Amman AF / Y, A320: soon
Amman - Paris CDG AF/ J, A320: soon also
Paris CDG - Basle AF / Y, ATR72, won't be published

This trip report will cover the connecting flight to CDG to reach the Amman flight for my annual Jordan holidays. I was not supposed to make a report on that flight but the ATR ops by Airlinair for AF that was scheduled to make the flight was once again out of order. AF sent a WDL BAe 146-200 ferry from Germany early in the morning for our ride to Paris.
Boarding was on time without the need of a Sky Priority lane, as we were around 30 people aboard.
The crew was speaking a perfect french, and was very nice and attentive.
Safety on board car:

Powerful take off as usually with a BAe/ARJ:

Conclusion

The plane begins to show its age, but the seats are comfortable and have a good recline. The crew was very nice.
We have not been offered newspapers though.
Snack was ok.
The toilets at 2G were disgusting. Very long bus ride from G to E.

I'd love an ATR to be changed for an BAe anytime, bummer that they don't fly around here anymore, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this report.

I'm surprised that these types of planes are still operating. With four engines, you would think that they are not that economical when it comes to fuel usage.
