I think thats stretching things if we include daily flights to the Isle of Aggis or downtown Balamory etc
Oh I am sorry, are these people not allowed to be part of the UK? Exactly how well connected is East Anglia into the UK domestic network? GLA puts Scotland one stop from the UK, ie SOU-GLA-BRR with Loganair, believe me there's a demand.

For the record : Glasgow domestics

You might snidely laugh at what Loganair does but their ability to work with competitors / partners to connect the Highlands and Islands to the rest of the country is classic hub and spoke. Something we would all love LHR to be able to do !
