SundAir's New Birds: Wet-Leased B737-800s Joining the Fleet!

So, SundAir's adding a couple of B737-800s to their lineup through wet leases. They're getting these from Enter Air and Fly4 Airlines. Fly4's bird, EI-FFD, made its way from London Luton to Leipzig/Halle at the end of September, and Enter Air's SP-ESE flew over from Katowice to Hamburg.

Honestly, it's pretty cool to see SundAir expanding like this. I mean, wet leasing is a smart move if you're looking to boost capacity without the long-term commitment of buying new planes. I guess it gives them some room to maneuver with schedules or peak demand. I'm not sure how long these leases are, but if they're starting in October 2026, it's probably for the busy season?

Anyone else think this could mean more routes or just beefing up existing ones? Also, how do you feel about wet leasing as a strategy for airlines? Seems like a flexible option, but I wonder about the long-term implications. Would love to hear your thoughts!
Wet leasing's pretty common for airlines that want to up their game without breaking the bank on new planes. SundAir could use these to cover high-demand routes or even test new ones without a big risk. I wonder if they'll stick to popular holiday destinations or try something new. Long-term, though, they might miss out on branding and consistency if they rely too much on leased aircraft. Anyone know if these leases are just for the winter season?
