Eastern airways `dog fight` at Aberdeen

So whats going off in granite City?

1st bmi-regional transfer the ABZ-EMA to Eastern, then do a code share from Dundee & Inverness, then a senior exce joins Eastern, following which bmi go head to head with Eastern on the NWI route!

It seems that NWI now gets more rotations a day (8) than most major city pairs.

An Eastern Captain in the cafe at EDI told me yesterday that (Eastern) are soon to start an ABZ-EBJ service on a J41 at much lower prices than bmi, who he said" milk " the route with £400.00+ fares.

Mean while back here in EDI there is much talk of Scott Air doing the same to bmi on the EDI-LBA route with an early (06.55) departure to LBA. This route is supposed to be the `crown jewel` of bmi regionals network, sold only as `C` class at peak times.

Only a couple of weeks to the winter timetable so we shall soon know, still turning up at 07.45 in Leeds doesn't mean you'll get in on misty morning at `Stalag` Yeadon.
