Even at only 10 years old is there much of a market for these.
I recall seeing alot of airlines retiring this type lately
Even the E190s which Virgin Australia retired most were in storage for well over a year before some found new homes

Interesting to see. Many regional jets seem to have a fairly short life, ~12 years for these four if they are scrapped.

I must assume these aircraft were dismantled, I have a set of first class seats and a fwd galley in my house, I was researching after a boarding card I found under one of the seat cushions was a Saudi one, as I live in Suffolk, I can only assume they come from one of these jets

Afraid to say all were broken up at Norwich believe a nose section was kept aside and left on back of a lorry not sure where to though
