CBG doesn't have any public access anymore so you can't book them unfortunately.
If you are after a Dornier fix it would have to be MAN or LCY to BLL or one of the other routes they have across Europe.

Indeed. "Cambridge International Airport" is only that if you can charter or buy your own aircraft - as AstraZeneca have done.
The Sun-Air Dornier can still be seen morning and evening on its way out of Cambridge.

TP run? I never thought about that using Sun-Air. They are economy only tho so no business selling classes, only economy. As economy goes it's very nice as you get free food and drinks.

The fact they called it made me think it must be available to book but then of course they would call it just like any charter flight.

The Cambridge flight starts at MAN, at least on a Monday morning. I'd thought the MAN to Cam ridge could be useful on occasion but its obviously just for the AZ staff in Macclesfield heading over to Sweden. I did hear that if you're going to meet with AZ it's possible to get on the flight even if you're not staff, a bit like the BAe shuttle from Warton down to Farnborough.

They climb like a rocket too, I really enjoyed my flights with Sun Air last year.
You can indeed attach them, sort of, to a TP run by starting in (say) Aalborg and doing what turns into an ex Oslo, that sort of thing. I did an ex Aalborg to Boston last year which was a relatively cheap Y trip with the aim of trying the smallest and biggest aircraft in the fleet (should have been Jetstream 31 and A380, but the J31 was swapped to a Dornier).

I was thinking about a triangular LHR-MAN-BLL-LHR route but hadn’t realised Sun-Air were economy only.
