GA criteria

1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Yes; article is written in British English, but it's about a British subject so that is entirely appropriate.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Yes. I do not see any problem words like "currently".
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	All content is sourced.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	All sources appear reliable.

	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	Article is neutral.

Comments

Overall, a well-written article. I have only these concerns:

In the table, wouldn't it be easier to use citations at the end of each line than putting them below the whole table?
- The citations support all content of the table. SST flyer 00:01, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
I think the lead could use a bit more detail about the operation of the airline.
- This article is quite short (5535 characters), so I think the length of the lead section is adequate. SST flyer 00:01, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
