With the Embraer e-series regional jets now established as the carrier's front line aircraft, Estonian Air is to transfer its allegiance from Gatwick to London City Airport it was announced at ERA Dublin last week.  The operation remains single class with the current leased Boeing 737-500 returning to its owner.
