Talks begin on change of ownership at Stobart Air 

Stobart Air operates the Aer Lingus Regional service

British aviation and energy infrastructure group Stobart is in early-stage discussions for the potential sale of its stake in regional airline Stobart Air – which operates the Aer Lingus Regional service – and its leasing firm Propius.

The company, which bought back Stobart Air and Propius in April from the administrators of Connect Airways, said aircraft lessor Falko Regional Aircraft was one of the interested parties. Falko is the owner of Irish airline CityJet.
